# Wildlife Trust Consultancies
Wildlife Trust Consultancies is a network of local ecological experts based across the UK, operating from Cheddar and other regional offices. They specialise in providing pragmatic ecological solutions to developers, architects, planners and organisations navigating complex planning obligations and environmental regulations.
The consultancy delivers comprehensive ecological services tailored to local conditions, combining specialist knowledge in biodiversity protection with practical land management expertise. Their core strength lies in their geographical spread—allowing them to offer genuinely local insight alongside national standards and best practice. This unique positioning means clients benefit from experts who understand both their specific regional context and wider regulatory frameworks.
WTC works with clients across all sectors, guiding projects from initial site selection through to detailed wildlife surveys and mitigation implementation. They manage relationships with planning authorities, Natural England and the Environment Agency, acting as interpreters of complex environmental legislation. Their team holds qualifications to administer European Protected Species Licences, and they employ specialist landscape architects and arboriculturists.
What distinguishes them is the integration of ecology with practical land management—they don't simply advise on compliance, but deliver habitat creation and management solutions. Their GIS and CAD capabilities enable sophisticated environmental data presentation, while their marine and coastal services extend expertise beyond terrestrial projects. Rather than one-size-fits-all approaches, WTC emphasises responsive, evidence-based solutions that work for both wildlife and development objectives.
