What is a Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Monmouthshire?
A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA), can also be known as an extended phase 1 habitat survey. A Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Monmouthshire would be carried out as the initial ecology assessment that identifies and analyses a site for the presence of wildlife in various habitats. This is carried out at an early stage in the project, prior to any ecological features being disturbed as a result of the development. As the first survey in the ecological assessment process the PEA will index everything of biodiversity value on site. The aim of this is to confirm the presence and absence of ecological features on site. 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.

The UK Habitat Survey and Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment are surveys that are becoming mandatory as part of the planning process from 2nd April 2024. Therefore, a lot of our clients request that these surveys are completed at the same time as the Phase 1 Extended Ecology Survey, keeping the price as cost effective as possible. These surveys can be completed independently, however this may require the ecologist to visit the site again in order to conduct the surveys which would incur an additional cost.
