Acer Ecology was commissioned to undertake an ecological assessment of a site in Tregaron, Ceredigion, Mid Wales.
We undertook an ecological appraisal of the site and worked closely with the client to secure a smooth passage through planning.
The design of the scheme was modified after consultation with the county ecologist to ensure that the biodiversity value of the site was maximised whilst maintaining a viable development.
Acer Ecology provides a wide range of ecological services, including:
- Preliminary ecological appraisals (Extended Phase 1 habitat surveys)
- Acting as Suitably Qualified Ecologists (SQE) in Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM Ecology Assessments
- Protected species surveys (plants, bats, badgers, great crested newt, otter, water vole, birds, reptiles, invertebrates, white-clawed crayfish etc.)

- Ecological Impact Assessments(EcIA)
- Habitat creation and management plans

- On-site works including ecological clerk of works, species translocation, watching briefs, supervision of contractors and toolbox talks
Identifying ecological constraints early in the planning process has proven to be both cost-effective and time-saving in the long run.
