Essential Ecological Considerations Before Starting Demolition or Development in England

Starting a demolition or development project in England involves more than just bricks, mortar, and machinery. One crucial aspect that often goes overlooked is the impact such projects can have on local ecosystems.

Ecological assessments and compliance with environmental regulations are vital in ensuring that construction or demolition doesn’t disrupt habitats, harm protected species, or damage the environment. The essential ecology rules you need to consider before starting any demolition or development project in England.

Please ensure to prioritise conducting an ecological survey as part of the planning for your demolition or development project.

This survey will help you understand the presence of birds, and bats, and other protected species on the site, allowing you to anticipate and budget for any necessary mitigation measures. It will also help make any required adjustments to your project timelines.
