Ecosystem services, biodiversity and ecological restoration are now an integral part of sustainable development and the built environment. Clear Ecology has become specialised in helping clients to achieve planning permission without compromising the value and protection of the UK’s diverse habitats and animals.

Clear Environmental Consultants believe that ecologists are an essential part of the modern environmental management and development process, working as an integral part of trans-disciplinary teams helping to conceive, shape and improve projects.

Many of our projects begin with extended phase I habitat survey and detailed desk-based study. This provides a sound basis for more detailed surveys of particular ecological receptors. Project work encompasses a range of scales and complexity, from small single-site habitat surveys, to large long term projects that take a landscape level approach to ecological thinking.
