Data for Ecological Consultants
SBIS data is widely used by ecological consultants working on planning and development projects across Suffolk. Our records cover protected and priority species, County Wildlife Sites, County GeoSites, designated sites, hedgerows, and LiDAR-derived habitat mapping – the evidence base you need to support ecological assessments, Biodiversity Net Gain calculations, and planning applications.
Our data request page has everything you need to place an order, including current prices, turnaround times, what a standard search includes, and details of our cross-boundary service covering Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. We aim to deliver results within 2 working days of receiving your order confirmation for commercial searches.
