Preliminary Roost Assessment (PRA)

The Preliminary Roost Assessment (PRA) forms part of an Ecological Impact Assessment which identifies and evaluates the potential effects that development proposals may have on ecology, resulting in an EcIA report suitable for submission within a Planning Application.

Early Engagement

Early Engagement

Whether small or large scale, it is important to begin the EcIA process at an early stage of project design and planning. This enables full consideration of any potential ecological constraints associated with proposals and can significantly reduce unnecessary delays.

Native Ecology provide effective liaison with design teams. Our clear communications from early stage development is key to future successful ecological mitigation and integration of biodiversity enhancement into projects.
