What is a Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Surrey?
A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) previously known as the extended phase 1 habitat survey (PH1) helps to identify and analyses the presence of animals and plants in a specific area. A Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Surrey is often requested in the early stages of your planning journey. A PEA must be carried out before the disturbance of any ecological features on site that may occur as a result of your development project. This report will detail and index everything of biodiversity value on the site. This appraisal is completed to confirm both the presence and absence of any protected species or ecological value. However, if no species or ecological value is identified it therefore eliminates any constraints and removes the need for further surveys to be undertaken.
Why might I need a Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Surrey?
A Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Surrey may be carried out to assist with your planning application. As during the decision to grant or deny planning permission, officers need to take into consideration the ecological enhancement of the proposed development as stated in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), as well as the ODPM Circular 06/05.
Therefore, by having a comprehensive report carried out by qualified ecological expert you will satisfy the local planning authority by outlining any risks to notable species and providing recommendations of amendments that can be made to reduce the disturbance of the project on the surrounding wildlife.

On the 2nd of April 2024 UK Habitat Survey and Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments became mandatory. Therefore to be as cost effective as possible throughout your planning process we recommend, our clients get these surveys completed at the same time. These surveys can be completed independently, however if the ecologist has to visit the site again it would be at an additional cost.
