Experienced Ecologists for Planning and Construction

Ecological considerations are a key part of the planning process. At Castledine Environmental, we provide reliable and cost-effective ecology surveys and ecological consultancy services to help you meet planning obligations and protect local biodiversity.

Our qualified ecologists undertake a range of assessments, starting with a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) to evaluate the site's habitat features and determine whether further protected species surveys are needed. We offer targeted surveys for bats, great crested newts, badgers, reptiles, dormice, nesting birds, and more-ensuring legal compliance and full support for your planning application.

We produce detailed, planning-ready ecological reports with clear guidance and recommendations, working closely with planning authorities and project teams. Whether your development is on a greenfield or brownfield site, our surveys help identify ecological constraints early, saving time, cost, and delays later in the planning process.

We also support clients with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) calculations, ecological mitigation plans, and post-development monitoring, where required.

Castledine Environmental is trusted by developers, architects, and consultants across the UK for providing thorough, responsive, and fully compliant ecological services.
