Based in Birmingham, the team at Midland Ecology is made up of licenced ecologists, qualified surveyors, experienced consultants and skilled support staff. Multiple factors make us effective in serving clients, including disciplines in relevant areas, an ethos for sharing knowledge with each other, and a drive to provide the best possible service to clients. Due to specialising in covering the Midlands and surrounding areas, our ecological consultancy offers a service that integrates local factors such as the specific stipulations of the local planning authority , ecological aspects that are unique to the region, and any other planning requirements that would otherwise hinder planning applications .

Through investing in our team, we’ve been able to generate progression and longevity, and we encourage personal and professional growth by catering to the acquisition of further qualifications and certifications, namely from the Chartered Institute for Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM), the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and Natural England. 01244 661170 or [email protected] All development projects are conducted with an end goal in mind, and we make it our job to help you to meet your obligations to the local authorities, the natural environment, land management and habitat management while completing your plans successfully.

A wide range of ecological surveys are available, including an inspection designed to achieve biodiversity net gain (BNG), general ecological assessments such as an ecological impact assessment (EcIA) or preliminary ecological appraisal (PEA), and any number of protected species surveys. Our team manage ecological surveys throughout all stages of the planning process, starting with ecological advice from head office and preliminary site surveys at an early stage, right the way through to protected species surveys on present animals and plants, and expert advice on ecological mitigation work within your ecology report based on the best solution for your development site. Situated at the heart of the West Midlands region, our team is based at Quayside Tower, 252-260 Broad St, Birmingham, B1 2HF.

By choosing a location right within the centre, we are given fluidity and flexibility with catering to the needs of all potential clients requesting quotes from all around the Midlands. Unlike ecological consultancies that provide a service on a nationwide level, our team are able to spend more time working and less time travelling by targeting the Midlands area in isolation, maximising our output, minimising the number of wasted opportunities, ensuring a detailed understanding of locational factors such as the local authority, and enabling us to keep offering competitive prices for our ecological services. In addition to facilitating a wide range of different ecological assessments such as protected species surveys and offering ecological advice to support development projects and successfully achieve the objective of obtaining a planning application, we also boast numerous incentives for choosing us as your provider of cost-effective solutions in the planning process.
