ONE OF THE LEADING
environmental
CONSULTANCIES
IN THE UK
A topographical survey, or land survey, is a site assessment with accurate measurements and a record of any physical features. It includes the levels and contours across the survey area, and also the features within it. This is the basis for any planning application.
Whether you’re wanting to develop your site or manage tree risk, we provide the tree advice you need to successfully balance commercial, environmental and human needs, naturally increasing the true value of your land or property.
Ecology surveys are required to inform planning applications when making alterations to buildings or land which are set to be transformed and have important species or habitats. Our team of specialist ecologists provide the surveys and reports you need in order to move forward with a successful project.
We help our clients create unique, beautiful, and commercially viable spaces to benefit the environment, linking communities via the use of green space and infrastructure. Well planned, implemented and managed landscapes go way beyond aesthetics, as they positively impact our health & wellbeing and productivity, whilst tackling climate change & biodiversity issues.
