Navigate Habitat Regulations Assessments with Confidence

At Ecology Solutions, we specialise in guiding you through the complexities of Habitat Regulation Assessments (HRAs) in the UK. With an in-depth understanding of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, we ensure your projects comply with the European Habitats Directive and Wild Birds Directive, now part of English law.

When Do You Need a Habitat Regulation Assessment?

An HRA is required when your development project could impact a protected European ecological site, including Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs). These assessments ensure your project meets stringent environmental regulations, safeguarding designated habitats and species.
