Topographic Survey

Whether you're planning a residential extension, a new commercial build, or infrastructure upgrades, an accurate understanding of the site is essential. A Topographic Survey provides the detailed measurements and visualisation needed to inform design and planning decisions.

At Elite Ecology, we offer professional topographic surveys across the UK, using state-of-the-art technology to deliver high-precision site data in both 2D and 3D digital formats.

What is a Topographic Survey?

A topographic (or land) survey maps out the natural and man-made features of a site, including:

Boundaries, buildings, and structures
Trees, hedgerows, and vegetation
Roads, footpaths, and access points
Ground levels and contours
Utility covers and drainage features
Walls, fences, and surface materials

This information is compiled into a highly accurate CAD-format drawing that can be used by architects, engineers, ecologists, and planners at the design or pre-construction stage of a project.

Why Do You Need a Topographic Survey?

Topographic surveys are often required for:

Planning applications and land development
Architectural and engineering design
Ecological assessments and habitat mapping
Legal boundary or rights of way clarification
Drainage, flood risk and environmental modelling

Having precise, up-to-date site data allows design teams to work with confidence, reducing the risk of delays, design errors, or planning rejections.
