ECOLOGICAL SERVICES

Based in the heart of the North Pennines National Landscape, Durham Dales Ecology offers a full range of bespoke ecological advice and services throughout the North Pennines,

​

Durham Dales Ecology prides itself on providing an honest and pragmatic approach, delivered by dedicated, friendly and knowledgable staff. Our services are flexible and tailored to your project-specific requirements. We apply common sense when guiding you through the ecological survey process, ensuring our work is proportionate to the situation, and providing information in a logical and easy-to-understand manner. 

​

Living and working in the Durham Dales, we are acutely aware of the beauty and importance of the natural landscape, the processes by which it was formed, the practices by which it is maintained, and the communities and wildlife it supports. We are passionate about preserving our cultural, historic and natural heritage, whilst enabling and elevating our communities, through responsible development. At the same time, we also understand the challenges of undertaking projects in what can be a harsh and dramatic environment, and we adapt our advice and services accordingly.

 

Our services may typically include:

• A variety of species surveys,

• Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA),

• Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA),

• Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA),

• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) calculations,

• Management & Monitoring Plans,
