Ecological Appraisal
Encon Associates were commissioned to carry out an Ecological Appraisal for an existing building to be demolished to make way for a new retail and residential development in Sneinton, Nottingham.
The proposed scheme is to demolish an existing building and construct a new residential development to meet Code for Sustainable Homes level 3. The Ecology Appraisal enabled the scheme to gain additional credits towards achieving the required Code Level.
As well as providing an ecological appraisal for the scheme, Encon Associates were able to provide many other services to deliver the project including a Code Pre-Assessment, Transport Assessment, Topographical Survey and Acoustic Survey.

We recently renovated a large early Edwardian home. Part of the planning approval was the need to obtain an excellent rating from BREEAM in our renovation. This covered everything from responsibly sourcing materials to energy efficient heat pumps and solar panels. Not being a developer the whole BREEAM process was very difficult to understand at first. Luckily we had Encon, and in particular, Glenn on our side. They provided invaluable advice and guidance, were reachable all the time and processed everything in a very timely manner. What was important was that we were able to seek their advice and counsel before we made key purchasing decisions. BREEAM is a complicated process and can seem overwhelming if unfamiliar with it. Having Encon on board with us had helped us achieve our goals of having an environmentally excellent renovation of a 1905 house.
