Testimonial: Don't Just take our word for it
"I have worked with Biodiverse Consulting on a host of challenging projects that have benefitted from their depth of knowledge, practical application and problem-solving approach. One particularly challenging project which we worked in collaboration related to a Green Belt release site within Gateshead that had a raft of biodiversity considerations. Biodiverse Consulting were brought on specifically to assist in unlocking challenging issues regarding a shortfall on surveys for a well-advanced scheme. Their approach was to address the shortfall fairly but robustly, working with the client, LPA and project team effectively to deliver a scheme that resulted in net biodiversity gain and securing planning permission. The Biodiverse team are a pleasure to deal with and are extremely responsive, always".
