Overview
Weak AA documentation is the single most common reason a planning consent is quashed. Verdé's ecologists write to withstand judicial review — technically defensible, decision-relevant, and delivered to the timelines your planners actually need.
AA Screening & determination
Stage 1 screening reports that either close out cleanly or clearly scope the NIS — no ambiguity for the competent authority.
Natura Impact Statements
Full NIS supported by field survey data, hydrological linkage assessment and species-specific mitigation.
Habitat & protected-species surveys
Bat, otter, badger, kingfisher, freshwater pearl mussel, breeding bird and Annex I habitat surveys to CIEEM standards.
Marine & coastal ecology
Benthic, cetacean and seabird assessments for coastal infrastructure, offshore renewables and port developments.
