Ecological Consultancy for The Code for Sustainable Homes

Do you want to maximise your points under the Ecology category of The Code for Sustainable Homes?

For you to maximise points, a “suitably qualified ecologist” would be required to survey your site and advice on enhancing the site ecology, particularly with regard to natural plant species. This is because:

• Your site may not readily fall into one of the defined categories of low ecological value for points from “ecological value of site”;
• You need advice on ecological enhancements to qualify for further points from “ecological enhancements”;
• You need to demonstrate either overall low ecological value or protection of ecological features to get points from “protection of ecological features”;
• You may need ecological advice to determine actual numbers of plant species present to get the points from “change in ecological value of the site”.

Adonis Ecology can supply you with a suitably qualified ecologist (a full member of The Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management), experienced in undertaking rapid and detailed ecological surveys. The report would be structured in such a way as to make it easy for the Sustainable Homes assessor to get the information they need.
