What is a Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Wales?
A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA), is also known as an extended phase 1 habitat survey. A Preliminary Ecology Appraisal in Wales is often carried out as part of the planning process and is the initial ecology assessment that is requested to identify and analyses the presence of wildlife on a specific site. This is usually carried out in the beginning stages of a project. They will be carried out prior to any ecological features being disturbed as a result of the development. Because the preliminary ecology appraisal in Wales is the first survey that will be carried out as part of the ecology assessment process it 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.
