Multi-species ecology delivery
EchoSight coordinates licenced surveys, mitigation strategies, and defensible reports that align with the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
Licensing note: All licensable actions are delivered or overseen by appropriately registered Natural England licence holders.
We combine mobilisation, fieldwork, reporting, and licensing pathways so your submissions stay compliant across bats, reptiles, and great crested newts.
Programmes start with a joined-up review of constraints, planning triggers, and seasonal requirements.
Licenced ecologists coordinate mixed-species effort so evidence is gathered efficiently and safely.
Outputs are compiled in-house so consultees can track evidence trails and approve mitigation quickly.
A single point of contact coordinates field teams, reporting, and licence submissions while keeping stakeholders informed.
We mobilise from Newbury with approximately 60 road miles of included travel (120 miles return) and schedule further afield assignments with transparent allowances.
Working alongside ecology leads, planners, and contractors, we sequence surveys around project constraints and coordinate licence submissions with Natural England where required.

Timing, mobilisation, and deliverables for protected species surveys.
Survey windows vary by species. Bat activity surveys run spring to autumn, reptile presence/likely absence from April to September, and GCN traditional surveys during mid-March to mid-June. We’ll confirm the optimal window during scoping.
We can mobilise within 5–10 working days for most projects. Complex mitigation or larger teams may require a longer lead-in—contact us early so we can hold dates.
You’ll receive a planning-ready report, GIS outputs (if required), raw data files, and a debrief call to agree next steps. Reports are aligned to BS 42020/BS 42021 and ready for submission.
Yes. We support Natural England licence submissions, mitigation design, and monitoring conditions, working alongside your internal team to prepare documentation.
Share your site address, planning stage, and target dates. We confirm availability and issue a written proposal within one working day.
