What is a Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Dorset?
A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) or also known as the extended phase 1 habitat survey (PH1) identifies and analyses the presence of animals and plants in a specific area. A Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Dorset will be requested during the early stages of your planning process. A PEA should be carried out prior to the disturbance of any ecological features on site as a result of your development project. This report will detail and index everything of biodiversity value on the development site. This is completed with the aim of confirming both the presence and absence of any ecological features on site. However, if no species or ecological value is identified it therefore eliminates any ecological constraints and removes the need for further surveys to be carried out.
