Ecological Considerations for planning applications
Ecological factors are a key component of the planning process. Common requirements include:
Ecological Surveys – Baseline surveys to identify habitats, species, and ecological features, informing impact assessment and mitigation strategies
Protected Species Assessment – Evaluations for species such as bats, badgers, great crested newts, and nesting birds, with appropriate mitigation proposals
Tree surveys – Analysis of tree species, condition, and root protection zones to inform site design and minimise environmental disruption
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – In accordance with the Environment Act 2021, developments must achieve at least a 10% increase in biodiversity using the statutory metric
Landscape Surveys – Assessments of the ecological and visual impacts of the ecological and visual impacts of the proposed development, including recommendations for enhancements
Ecological Clerk of Works – On-site supervision during construction to ensure compliance with ecological conditions and implementation of mitigation measures
