If you have plans to build, renovate, demolish, or cut down trees, it's often mandatory to have a preliminary assessment done to determine whether protected plant or animal species are present. This is called a nature assessment. You can check yourself through the Environmental Desk to determine whether your work may require a permit: The Permit Check.

A nature assessment is a quick initial check for the presence of protected species. If a protected species is found, additional research is needed to substantiate this.

A nature assessment can often be completed within a few business days. If additional research is required, the duration depends on the season and the species. This can vary from a few weeks to several months. If any such findings are found, you'll enter the permitting process. This takes time, and it's important to prepare thoroughly. Eco-Plan has all the expertise in-house to ensure this process runs as smoothly as possible!

A nature assessment starts at around €500. The cost of additional research depends on the species, the number of field visits, and the required reporting. We always provide a clear quote upfront.
