Peak Ecology Limited is a specialist ecological consultancy, based within the Peak District National Park in Bakewell, Derbyshire. Working across the UK, we offer a comprehensive range of ecological advice and services to a rapidly growing client base, including developers, architects, planning consultants, government agencies and public bodies.

Our mission is to provide clear, high quality and affordable ecological advice and services to public and private sector clients throughout Britain.

With a team of ten professional ecologists, all members of the Institute for Ecology and Environmental Management, we are licensed to work with a wide range of protected species in England, Scotland and Wales.

We help our clients with planning applications, protected species licensing and mitigation, Environmental Impact Assessment and BREEAM assessments, especially using the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Over the last three years we have worked on housing, mixed–use and leisure schemes, on transport and energy schemes including road, pipeline, power station, waterway navigation and airport schemes, carried out SSSI assessment on behalf of Natural England, and provided training and technical support on specific ecological issues and projects.

Our survey capabilities include phase 1 habitat surveys, botanical assessments, NVC surveys and a wide range of protected species surveys including great crested newts, reptiles, bats, crayfish, badgers, red squirrels, pine martens, otters and water voles. We also undertake surveys for terrestrial invertebrates, aquatic invertebrates, breeding birds, wintering birds and other groups.
