Ecological Impact Assessments
Focus Environmental Consultants are experienced in the delivery of large, complex or controversial projects where a higher level of planning and legal scrutiny is involved. Such projects include those that are likely to have a ‘significant impact’ on the environment and may therefore fall under the remit of European Legislation like the EIA Directive and the EC Habitats Directive.
Any project having an impact on an ‘important ecological feature’ such as a legally protected species or priority habitat will typically require an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) to support a successful planning application.
