‘The survey effort and reporting is excellent and it is great to see the new bat mitigation guidelines being utilised so quicky.’

ECOLOGIST, WILTSHIRE COUNCIL

‘I have worked with Johns Associates on various projects over the past 15 years.

Some of the projects have been extremely complex and have required a thorough assessment of ecological issues and production of strategy that respects and puts ecology first but balances the needs of the client providing practical solutions to allow development to proceed.

Johns Associates have the skills knowledge and commercial awareness to be able to provide this service. They are responsive and communicate in a way that the lay person can understand them and client care to them is paramount.

Recently I have worked with them on Nitrates and BNG issues they are again ahead of other in this field.

It is always a pleasure to work with Johns Associates a great group of people dedicated and highly qualified in the areas in which they practice but very importantly are team players and a pleasure to work with.’

‘Producing Environmental Risk Assessments which meet legal compliance under COMAH and are based on the CDOIF methodology required a specific skill set. Johns Associates have been with us through this process, and the risk assessments that have produced have been reviewed and approved by the Environment Agency. They have also been fundamental in developing our flood preparedness plans for our FMAS 1 sites as well as specific habitat studies.

They work in a collaborative way, with excellent communication and are incredibly helpful and supportive.’
