How it works
A clear picture, quickly.
The desk study tells us what to look for. The walkover confirms it on the ground.

- 2Site walkoverWe confirm the habitats on the ground and look for signs of protected species.
- 3SummaryA concise overview of constraints, opportunities and any surveys you'll need.

An Eco Check suits
- Smaller, lower-risk sites
- Early feasibility and pre-application
- A quick, proportionate answer
A PEA suits
- Applications that need a full appraisal
- Larger or more sensitive sites
- Projects that need a BNG baseline
Questions we're often asked
Can an Eco Check lead on to a PEA?
Yes. If the site needs more detail, we can usually build on the work already done.
How quickly will I get the results?
Quickly. An Eco Check is built for speed: one site visit and a clear summary soon after, so you know where you stand before you commit.
