Ecology: Ecological & environmental aspects are prime issues when considering the development of a site. Often scoping surveys are the first survey undertaken to identify potential habitats for protected species; to inform the development programme and to be aware of constraints and consider mitigation proposals. Scoping, Phase 1 Habitat Surveys, monitoring and BREEAM assessments (land use & ecology) are all services provided by Viewpoint.
