Has your development been approved subject to planning conditions?
It is important to ensure that you are aware of any planning conditions or legal agreements that may have been set when granting your development licence.
These may include requirements concerning the mitigation strategy such as site surveys, monitoring, translocations or fence erection.
If, as part of an approved development project, it is planned to capture, disturb, uproot and/or relocate or damage the habitat of a species protected under the Habitat Regulations 1994, a development licence must be obtained. Mitigation strategies drafted by a licensed ecologist need to be submitted and approved by the Statutory Nature Conservation Organisation (SNCO) in order to be granted a development licence.
Abricon’s licensed ecologists will assist you with mitigation plans for your development licence applications.
