Testimonials

Michael Phillips, Development Manager, Dulas Ltd.

“To my mind Wild Frontier Ecology is one of the best ecological assessors working in the wind energy industry at this current time. They’ve worked with us on Parham Airfield, Cambridge Services and Three Moors wind farms, and are currently engaged on other sites in development for us.

They have a good knowledge and understanding of the relevant survey techniques and assessment methodologies, they are meticulous in their work, and they are pretty good at predicting impacts.

We’ve worked with Wild Frontier several times now and have always been satisfied by the quality of the work. We generally find that Wild Frontier Ecology’s ecological assessments do not get contested to any great degree in planning, and they’ve a good aptitude for drawing up mitigation and habitat improvement strategies in line proportionate to the level of impact.”

Gemma Cousins, Planning Officer, Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk.

“Wild Frontier Ecology has worked on planning applications and advice, and on our Appropriate Assessment for the emerging Local Development Framework.

Rob and the team always reply promptly and provide a thorough and professional service. As an officer working singularly on the issues of biodiversity in my authority it is a comfort to know that if there are any problems I have a contact I can trust for advice.”

Chris Forster Brown, Senior Ecologist, ADAS Ltd.

“Wild Frontier Ecology carried out some preliminary investigation on behalf of ADAS UK Ltd. of three proposed windfarm sites in Scotland. This was to identify suitable locations for Vantage Points and to carry out winter bird survey at these locations. Wild Frontier responded at very short notice, rearranging priorities in order to fit the work in. The resulting information was clear and accurate, and provided an essential baseline from which further work could take place.”

Chris Bielby, Harrison Group Environmental.

“I have been subcontracting the specialist services of Wild Frontier Ecology for over 2 years now and intend to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I have found Wild Frontier to be a very knowledgeable and professional ecological consultancy, providing a broad range of services at competitive rates. Their assistance with our wind farm EIA work in particular has been invaluable to us and I can highly recommend their bird-surveying services for such projects.”

David Spencer, Principal Planning Policy Officer, Breckland District Council.

“Breckland Council approached Wild Frontier Ecology in 2006 to prepare a Habitats Regulation Assessment for the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies document of the Local Development Framework. Wild Frontier guided us through the necessary steps, working closely with Natural England, RSPB and the Environment Agency, to prepare a robust baseline position on the likely significant effects arising from the proposed development strategy on the plethora of European sites in Breckland. The work was endorsed in 2008 by Natural England and RSPB and has enabled the Council to conclude a particularly complex and challenging assessment process.”
