Our Capabilities

Nicholsons Ecology: Tree Surveys

Habitat Surveys & Preliminary Ecological Appraisal

Our in-house team of experienced ecologists are comprehensively trained in habitat assessment and are capable of robustly evaluating the extent of further surveys required. This reduces costs and limits potential time delays for all parties concerned.

Nicholsons Ecology: Protected Species Surveys

Protected Species Surveys

Our team has all the necessary skills, experience and licences to complete a range of ecological surveys to satisfy planning requirements and conditions.

Nicholsons Ecology: Mitigation Operations

Mitigation Operations

Working both in-house and with a network of trusted sub-contractors, Nicholsons ecologists are able to licence, implement and manage most ecological constraints on site through the construction phase.

Nicholsons Ecology: Ecological Impact Assessment

Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA)

We are able to conduct a full EcIA which can stand alone as an ecological report or form part of a full Environmental Impact Assessment.

Nicholsons Ecology: Habitat Creation, Restoration & Management

Habitat Creation, Restoration & Management

Working both in-house and with a network of trusted sub-contractors, Nicholsons can design, deliver and manage the creation and enhancement of habitats.  This aligns with current local and national planning policies, which now routinely require such efforts due to the growing emphasis on mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain.

Nicholsons Ecology: Biodiversity Net Gain

Biodiversity Net Gain

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a national framework which ensures development retains, creates, and enhances meaningful habitats for wildlife in a measurably better state than they were before the development. Our team can support you to understand and plan for the impacts that BNG will have on your projects.

Nicholsons Building with Nature

Building with Nature

The Building with Nature standard provides an independent assessment of the development’s delivery of good green infrastructure, using an evidence-based approach. As Approved Assessors, the Nicholsons team can help you evaluate the opportunities and guide you through the process from inception to formal accreditation.

Nicholsons Ecology: Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder Engagement

With our wider professional experience of land management, Nicholsons enjoys excellent professional relationships with the key environmental stakeholders at both a local and national level. Our team can help to facilitate effective and trusted engagement in support of your projects.
