Biodiversity net gain (BNG) has affected development since its unveiling in 2018, and with it becoming mandatory earlier this year, it is only likely to grow more prominent in the plans of developers across England 📑 In this informative guide, ARBTECH explains the purpose of a biodiversity net gain report, breaks down the sections involved in a report, and details the difference between a report and a plan 💡 https://lnkd.in/eNJAGsDf #arbtech #ecology #biodiversitynetgain #bng #ecologysurvey #eco #biodiversitygain #bngplan #bngreport #ecologyreport

The bat survey guidelines dictate how we conduct inspections on areas with suspected bat occupancy to support planning 🦇 As the Bat Conservation Trust updated the guidelines last year, we detailed the changes 🔍 https://lnkd.in/e887YW9R #Arbtech #ecology #ecologysurveys #batsurveys #batsurveyguidelines #BCT #PRA #BERS

Recently, some members of the team spent the day learning about NVC surveys. We encourage the team to take opportunities to learn whenever they can and one of the many benefits we offer is unlimited CPD. If this sounds good to you, we're hiring!

Fantastic couple of days running the third in a series of courses for ARBTECH, this time looking at the National Vegetation Classification! 🌱

Last week, Georgina and Harley hosted an Ecology Career Workshop at the University of Southampton to discuss all things PEA, BNG and protected species. The team were on hand to answer any questions about working in the industry and what their role at Arbtech looks like day to day. We really appreciate Georgina and Harley for taking time out of their busy schedules, to speak to the students and potential future Arbtechers! 🌳

Earlier this week, a group of ecologists from ARBTECH visited the University of Southampton to provide a careers workshop 📝 While they were there, the UoS were kind enough to allow them to conduct newt survey training on the university's grounds 🦎 For a breakdown of the day, read the blog below 👇 We'd like to express our thanks to the University of Southampton and Siobhan Balfour, Amanda Boorer, Simon Kemp, Sarah Puckett, Adam Tewkesbury and Ian Williams for making it possible 👏 https://lnkd.in/ePcePgbd #ecology #ecologycareers #recruitment #graduates #UoC #Arbtech #careersfairs #ecologyjobs #newtsurvey #getintoecology

After the original scheme was refused late last year, @artydevelopments enlisted our help alongside the LPA to develop a workaround for this site. The current scheme includes a 4 bedroom detached new build at the rear and the division of the front 8 bedroom property into 2 x 4 bedroom semi-detached houses. 🏠 Let's get this application approved once and for all, and thank you for trusting us with this project 🙌

Why do we do our BERS surveys at dusk or dawn? This is a common question that we get asked and the reasoning behind it is because this is when bats are the most active, and so most likely to be seen using our bat detectors. This helps us to get a more accurate reading that we can submit in our report 🦇
