Micro Turbines


Wild Frontier Ecology is proud of its involvement with the renewables industry. Recently our involvement with larger wind projects has led to our advice being sought by land owners and developers, for small scale wind energy projects.

Although we appreciate that many small developments may not require full ecological surveys to obtain planning permission, should any ecological advice or guidance be required we are familiar with all the latest guidance documentation and able to assist. We aim to make any fees competitive and proportionate to the size of development.

  


Services

  • Provide advice and guidance for developers and land owners to reduce impacts on biodiversity
  • Desk studies and reporting at the site selection stage
  • Initial walkovers and site assessments to inform constraints mapping and micrositing
  • Targeted habitat and protected species surveys, including bird and bat surveys

Project Examples

  • Design and development of guidance for the siting of micro turbines, derived from current recommendations. This  included the creation of an easy to use flow diagram to help developers understand when an ecological issue may occur.
  • Advising clients on ecological issues and legislation at potential micro turbine sites
  • Transferable experiences from our work on larger turbine developments
