Protected Species Surveys are used to establish the presence or absence of any protected species on or adjacent to a proposed development. They are often required following an initial site survey which is undertaken as part of a Phase 1 Habitat Survey.
There are certain species within the UK that are under special protection of the wildlife legistlation. These species are protected due to their rarity or population decline. Protected Species Surveys helps to establish the presence of these protected species in order to understand the impact of the development to these species during the planning process.
If a protected species is identified during the Protected Species Survey then suitable consideration and mitigation should be included in the proposed development. This could include things such as retaining certain areas of the existing habitat or re-creating the habitat elsewhere on the site or adjacent to the site. The mitigation measures should be included in the impact assessment.
