Whaddon House

The Project

Encon Associates were commissioned by Morgan Ashurst to carry out an Ecological Appraisal for the potential for Bats roosting in a derelict building, scheduled for demolition as part of a new development near Milton Keynes.

The Solution

The proposed scheme is to demolish the existing building and construct a two storey medical centre and pharmacy with residential apartments above.

Encon Associates were able to provide an Ecological Survey to form the baseline of a future Code for Sustainable Homes assessment and mitigate any potential breach of legal obligations regarding the presence of bats in the roof space of the building.

Project: Demolition of two Storey Medical Centre, Pharmacy with first-floor apartments.

Services Provided by Encon: Ecology Survey for Code for Sustainable Homes

Want to gain environmental credits or need planning advice for your next project?

Encon Associates were employed by ourselves as BREEAM Assessor and Approved Professional on 3 contracts running concurrently in Sheffield.  At all times through the project they were able to provide clear detailed advice on requirements to ourselves and our  supply chain, and were able to offer additional services where required (including compiling the Tenant Green Guide Specification).

The use of the IES TaP for BREEAM portal has proved a useful tool in tracking the BREEAM process, providing us as a main contractor a simple and user friendly way to co-ordinate the BREEAM evidence requirements with the designers and our supply chain.

The team have promptly assessed evidence when received and provided detailed feedback to ensure any compliance issues were understood – we would have no hesitation in employing Encon Associates on our future BREEAM schemes.
