We are Envirotech, chartered surveyors and ecological consultants known for our pragmatic approach. As members of the Natural England Bat Low Impact Class Licence Scheme, we can reduce licensing wait times from eight weeks to just two, keeping your development projects on track.
Navigating the Rural Economy and Environment
We aren't your typical corporate consultancy. At Envirotech, we pride ourselves on a pragmatic, "on the ground" approach to ecological and rural surveying. Most of our work comes from repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals, which we believe speaks volumes about the trust our clients place in us.
Faster Planning with Streamlined Bat Licensing
One of our standout advantages for developers and homeowners is our membership in the Natural England Bat Low Impact Class Licence Scheme.
While a standard protected species licence can take eight weeks to process, we can often streamline this to just two or three weeks for sites with small numbers of bats. This significantly reduces delays for your project and ensures you stay compliant with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Comprehensive Ecological Expertise
Whether you are dealing with a single barn conversion or a large-scale development, we provide the technical depth needed to satisfy planning authorities. Our team includes licensed, professionally qualified ecologists and chartered surveyors who understand the intersection of wildlife law and property development.
Our core ecological services include:
- Bat Surveys: From initial site investigations to the design of complex hibernacula.
- Habitat Assessments: Extended Phase 1 Habitat Surveys and Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA).
- Protected Species: Specialist surveys for Badgers, Great Crested Newts, Barn Owls, and Otters.
- Specialist Botany: NVC surveys, Hedgerow Assessments, and invasive species advice.
Chartered Rural Surveying and Land Management
Beyond ecology, we are Chartered Surveyors specialising in rural practice. We assist landowners with environmental land management, conservation grazing advice, and improving the conservation value of woodlands. We don't just provide reports; we offer practical advice and can even provide contractors to complete your project, such as our ongoing in-hand project at Ellers Meadow.
