Environmental Consultancy & Ecology

Expert guidance from start to finish, helping you minimise risks, cut costs, and protect the environment.

Ecology Services

Our consultants provide the surveys, assessments and technical reporting required for planning, design and regulatory approval. This includes habitat / species surveys, Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA), HRAs, management plans, ecological licensing and BNG / NBB. Because our consultancy, contracting and engineering teams work as one, our recommendations are practical, deliverable and aligned with real-world site conditions.

Species Surveys

EcoVigour delivers specialist protected species surveys to support planning applications and ensure full compliance with UK wildlife legislation. We identify ecological constraints early, helping you avoid delays, reduce risk, and keep your project moving. We take a pragmatic approach to survey specification with a deep understanding of legislation and survey guidelines to allow us to ensure survey effort is sufficient but not risk adverse and excessive. Our Senior Ecologist team has the experience to make appropriate judgement calls to give you the best outcomes.

EcoVigour Ecologists hold all of the requirements to work across a diverse range of sectors and sites. Ecologists hold CSCS and PTS qualifications. Works are risk assessed and ecologists are issued with PPE, training and equipment required to undertake surveys safely. We work on projects in scale from large national infrastructure schemes to private developments.

We utilise equipment such as night vision aids, remote infra-red cameras, endoscopes and drones to assist with surveys and ensure data is collected in the most efficient way possible.
