What's new?

Congratulations to Emily Wood from our ecology team, who has won the 2017 Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) photo competition.

Our team is now addressing a number of tenders in Malta, looking at possible environmental impact assessment (EIA) preconditions for development.

A rather exciting package arrived in our Frome office this month, containing nomination news for two upcoming South West business awards - and we’ve been shortlisted, twice!

We’re extremely pleased to announce the arrival of Tom Hardy to our team - a senior environmental consultant who brings valuable energy competence and regulatory insight.

Thanks to our UK environmental legislation expertise, Engain has long been established as a trusted, high level advisor in the British territory of Gibraltar.

During the season of bat monitoring, our team is also devoting time to help conservation groups - with some rewarding results

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.

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.
