Ecological Clerk of Works

Ecological supervision to support compliant construction works

An Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) provides specialist ecological advice and supervision during the construction phase of a project, helping to ensure works are carried out in accordance with planning conditions, ecological recommendations and wildlife legislation.

At Stour Ecology Ltd, we work closely with developers, contractors and site managers to provide practical ecological support throughout the construction process. By identifying and managing ecological risks on site, we help projects progress efficiently while protecting wildlife and sensitive habitats.

Our ECoW services include:

  • Pre-commencement ecological briefings and toolbox talks
  • Site supervision during vegetation clearance works
  • Nesting bird checks and supervision
  • Protected species monitoring and mitigation
  • Compliance with planning conditions and ecological method statements
  • Ecological advice to contractors and site managers
  • Site inspections and reporting
  • Liaison with Local Planning Authorities and stakeholders where required
