Secure Your Development with Ecology Solutions
Ecology Solutions specialises in providing expert ecological services, including Protected Species Licensing. Our dedicated team of ecologists, with their wealth of experience, is adept at handling the complex process of obtaining protected species licenses. This ensures your development projects comply with UK and European laws, giving you peace of mind in your project's legality.
Understanding Protected Species Licensing
The UK is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species protected by legislation to conserve their populations. Disturbing or destroying these protected species can lead to severe legal consequences, such as fines and imprisonment. Recognising these risks, Ecology Solutions is committed to helping clients secure the necessary permits for development activities in areas inhabited by protected species, thereby mitigating these potential legal issues.
Protected Species Licenses, issued by Natural England on behalf of the government, are crucial for regulating development projects to minimise harm to wildlife. Our expertise spans many species, including bats, badgers, Great Crested Newts, otters, water voles, dormice, and fully protected reptiles like the Sand Lizard and Smooth Snake.
