Rail-Specific Mitigation and Licensing
Rail infrastructure projects must balance operational efficiency with ecological responsibility. Without proper mitigation, rail developments can disrupt wildlife corridors, displace protected species, and lead to habitat degradation. We develop bespoke mitigation strategies to minimise these impacts, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation while facilitating smooth project progression. Our expert team provides targeted ecological interventions that allow construction and maintenance activities to proceed with minimal environmental disruption.
Our Services
Habitat Creation and Management: We design and implement targeted biodiversity enhancements, including wildflower meadows, native woodland and hedgerow planting, and wetland creation to support species recovery and maintain ecological connectivity.
Soil and Water Management: We advise on pollution prevention strategies, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), and sediment control measures to protect watercourses and ensure compliance with environmental best practices.
Species Translocation: Where avoidance is not possible, we relocate protected species to suitable receptor sites in accordance with Natural England licensing requirements, ensuring long-term habitat security.
European Protected Species Licensing: Our team provides full support in applying for mitigation licences, preparing detailed Method Statements, and liaising with regulatory authorities to facilitate legally compliant development.
