Bats are on the move, roosting and breeding - and time is ticking for ecological surveys needed to support this year's planning applications

Engain continues to make waves in the energy field; this month our ecology and environmental teams are working on two major European power projects

It’s a busy period for our ecology team - currently working on a seasonal flourish of new instructions and developments.

(Please note that this role has now been filled - and we look forward to announcing the appointment)

Fantastic, long-awaited news this week for our client Rotolok.

"There are signs that the high level of protection afforded to great crested newts could change before Brexit - with possible implications for developers" according to Matt Davies, our head of ecology.

With surveying season about to start, it's timely to share our ecology calendar - a handy guide to annual windows for UK species.

2016 has undoubtedly proved a memorable year, punctuated by major news headlines and political changes with global ramifications.

Earlier this autumn, Engain’s environmental project director Nikki visited Bonn in Germany, gaining useful insight into the application of the current guidelines and ramifications of the Paris Agreement.

Our environmental projects director Nikki will be meeting with ministerial officials and international development contractors responsible for delivering Malta's new combined-cycle gas turbine power station.

This month, Engain directors will be visiting UNFCCC officials in Bonn, to discuss priorities for Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

It's more than 12 years since Engain was founded and we thought it time to give our business a refreshed look and feel.

It took 15 years for a disused manufacturing site in Wiltshire to be consented for mixed use development.

Engain's ecology team is now pleased to offer comprehensive services for all development and planning requirements involving bats.
