Ecological and ornithological input to the EIA process is a core service that MBEC offers. We have undertaken Impact Assessments for a wide range and scale of development proposals in the UK. These projects often involve a range of detailed ecological survey work (including Phase 1 and NVC level habitat survey, protected species surveys, bat activity surveys, breeding and wintering bird surveys, bird flight activity surveys, fisheries surveys etc.) to inform the evaluation of the sensitivity of the affected habitats / populations, the assessment of impacts and the development of mitigation measures.
