OS Ecology Ltd offers a range of specialist ecological surveys, each tailored to assess and protect various species and their habitats.
These surveys include Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, and specific surveys for a diverse array of species.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) became mandatory in England in 2024, requiring development, with certain exemptions, to demonstrate a measurably positive impact on biodiversity.
We off a suite of services to address all requirements in relation to BNG, from assessing a site’s baseline and completing a feasibility study to inform site design to calculating the anticipated change in units on site and providing advice in relation to any off-site requirements.
We offer Tree Climbing Surveys, where qualified climbers perform aerial inspections to evaluate potential roosting features in trees that were identified in ground-based assessments.
Our climbers, certified in Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue and holding Natural England Level 2 licences, use ropes, harnesses, and endoscopes for detailed inspections.
Our Aerial Habitat Assessments using in-house drone operatives are instrumental in mapping large areas of habitat and providing up-to-date aerial photography.
This service is particularly beneficial for detailed mapping of current habitats, crucial for Biodiversity Net Gain assessments.
