What is an Ecological Assessment?
Ecological Assessments translate the findings and results of ecology surveys into a form that can be applied to a range of particular functions. The most common use of ecological assessments is to inform planning applications and to provide a planning decision-maker with the information they require to be able to determine a decision.

Ecological assessments generally relate to one of two key phases in a project programme:
- a pre-application phase or scoping stage to inform the project design or to appraise the ecological constraints and opportunities that may be relevant - this phase will often identify the need for further surveys, or 'scope out' further assessments.
- to inform an actual application - this may include reports from ecological surveys and combine them in an Ecological Impact Assessment. For EIA projects, this may involve collating an ecology chapter of an Environmental Statement or EIA Report.
