Everything you need, in one place
From postcode search to professional PDF report in around 2 minutes. Here is what EcoSentry looks like in practice.
Scotland: 18 constraint layers, all live
NatureScot, SEPA, Historic Environment Scotland, and BGS data rendered on satellite and street map views. Toggle any layer on or off. Scotland-wide coverage across all 32 councils.
Named constraints in under 2 seconds
Set your radius from 100m to 5km and run the audit. Every constraint within range is returned by name, grouped by type, with a full record count. Works across Scotland, England and Wales.
Professional report, ready to file
A 9-section constraint report with map screenshot, traffic light severity rating, and full policy references — NPF4 and SEPA guidance for Scotland, NPPF and Environment Agency guidance for England, Planning Policy Wales and TAN 15 for Wales. Downloadable as a PDF.
Scotland: 18 constraint layers across NatureScot, SEPA, Historic Environment Scotland and BGS
SSSIs, SACs, SPAs, NNRs, LNRs, National Scenic Areas, Ancient Woodland, Peatland Carbon Map, Scottish Wetlands, WFD Water Bodies, Drinking Water Protected Areas, Salmonid Protection Zones, SEPA Flood Risk Zones, SEPA Regulated Sites, HES Designations, Peat Depth Survey, and BGS geology. Every layer queried within your chosen radius, with a full NPF4 and SEPA-referenced PDF report.
England: 19 constraint layers across Natural England, Historic England and the Environment Agency
SSSIs, SACs, SPAs, NNRs, LNRs, AONBs, National Parks, Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas, Parks and Gardens, World Heritage Sites, Ancient Woodland, Priority Habitats and BNG data, EA Water Bodies, Source Protection Zones, Green Belt, and BGS geology. Every layer queried within your chosen radius, with a full NPPF-referenced PDF report.
Wales: 17 constraint layers across Natural Resources Wales and Cadw

Download report
A professionally formatted PDF constraint screening report, dated and sourced. Scotland reports reference NPF4, SEPA, NatureScot and HES. England reports reference NPPF, the Environment Agency, Natural England and Historic England. Wales reports reference Planning Policy Wales, TAN 15, NRW and Cadw.
From constraint checker
to investment co-pilot
EcoSentry Intelligence adds a layer of AI-powered analysis that turns spatial data into commercial decisions. Built for investment directors, restoration operators, and carbon fund managers who need answers, not just maps.
EcoBot Report Co-Pilot
Every report you generate opens a live chat with EcoBot, grounded exclusively in that report's audit data. Ask it which constraints are material to your specific use case, what the peat depth risk means for your development programme, or to summarise the key risks in plain language.
Answers grounded in your report data only — no hallucination
Portfolio Scanner
Set your parameters — minimum area, peat coverage, distance to Peatland Action areas — and EcoBot scans the full Scottish spatial database to surface the top-ranked sites. Each result includes a score, a technical rationale citing real data values, and an indicative Scottish Peatland Action grant estimate.
2.3 million+ records across Scotland, England and Wales.
Risk and Mitigation Analysis
Every ranked site includes a primary investment risk and a concrete mitigation strategy, synthesised from the spatial data. Flood risk, designation status, access constraints, and restoration complexity are weighed against the site's carbon potential and scored accordingly.
Not generic advice — grounded in each site's specific data profile
Scottish Peatland Action Grant Estimates
EcoBot applies published Scottish Government benchmark rates to estimate the indicative grant support available for each site — drain blocking, revegetation, and combined restoration programmes. Expressed as a range with a clear indicative-only caveat. A financial starting point in seconds, not days.
Data sources: NatureScot OGL, BGS, SEPA — cited on every output
Example Portfolio Scan Output — Peatland Restoration, Scotland
Highest carbon stock at 1,240 tCO₂/ha with 3.2m mean peat depth and 94% peat coverage across 423.5ha. Active drainage ditches in south section indicate significant restoration upside.
Grant Estimate
Est. £190k–£290k Scottish Peatland Action grant support (indicative only)
Risk
SAC designation may restrict restoration methods.
Mitigation
Engage early with statutory bodies to align plans with conservation objectives.
Post-extraction site with active ditch network. Commercial extraction ceased 2018, indicating minimal regulatory barriers. 890 tCO₂/ha carbon stock across 318.7ha.
Grant Estimate
Est. £150k–£230k Scottish Peatland Action grant support (indicative only)
Risk
Medium flood risk may require capital investment in drainage infrastructure.
Mitigation
Phase restoration from upper catchment to establish water table stability first.
Illustrative output. Live results draw from 2.3 million+ records across NatureScot, Natural England, NRW, BGS, SEPA, Historic England and Cadw datasets.
