Design and delivery advice for habitat creation, enhancement and restoration, including compensation habitats and protected species translocation. We provide guidance on appropriate techniques and long-term management objectives.
We provide ecological advice on the design and delivery of habitat creation, enhancement, and restoration works to support development projects, habitat management, species mitigation, and wider conservation objectives. This can include the creation, improvement, or reinstatement of habitats affected by development, the design of compensation habitats, and habitat measures associated with protected species mitigation, including receptor site preparation and habitat establishment for protected species translocation where required.
Our advice is tailored to the site, species, and habitat type involved, helping to ensure that habitats are suitable, practical to deliver, and capable of meeting their intended ecological function over the long term. This may include grassland, woodland, scrub, hedgerows, wetlands, ponds, riparian habitats, hibernacula, refugia, bat roost features, and other habitat features designed to support protected and notable species. We provide guidance on habitat specifications, establishment techniques, timing of works, phased delivery, aftercare, and long-term management objectives to help ensure successful implementation and durable ecological outcomes.
