Dice Consulting Engineers

Environmental consultancy Dice Environmental has expanded its services with the launch of a new planning-led ecology and biodiversity offering, to assist developers with navigating evolving planning and environmental requirements. The expansion responds to increasing demand for specialist ecological advice following the introduction of mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements and the growing role that biodiversity plays within the planning system. The sister company to Dice Consulting Engineers, Dice Environmental operates nationwide, with offices in Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds. Its expanded ecology offering includes Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs), Biodiversity Net Gain assessments and statutory metric calculations, UKHab habitat surveys, Preliminary Roost Assessments and bat surveys, Ecological Impact Assessments, protected species surveys, Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) services and ongoing ecological planning support.

Our latest journal post showcases a handy feature in our in-house suite of applications, developed by our BIM/Technology team, that automates the generation of vegetation influence zones around trees and hedges, adapting to different forms and resolving overlaps between adjacent areas. 🌳 By streamlining the modelling of existing vegetation constraints, this feature supports early-stage decision making that can help minimise unnecessary design changes, preserve existing landscape features and contribute to more efficient, lower-carbon project outcomes. Here's how it works 👇️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/emgB2pzE 👷 Samujjal Paul | Martyn Dunk #BIM #Technology #Engineering #lowcarbon
