Our professional Ecologists typically undertake a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) or 'Phase 1 Habitat Survey' of a site in the first instance prior to recommending any further (Phase 2) protected species surveys, should suitable habitat be identified.

​

Iceni Ecology Ltd. will never recommend protected species surveys which are unnecessary for your planning application; it is therefore paramount that the PEA is accurate.

​

Surveys provided: European Protected Species (great crested newt, bats, hazel dormouse); badger, riparian mammals (e.g. water vole), barn owl, breeding birds, common reptiles (e.g. common lizard, slow worm, adder and grass snake), amphibians, invertebrates and botany.
