Eco Appraisals Surveys

Ecological appraisals are an in depth survey of a site that gives a full overview of the site’s potential to support protected species and habitats and outlines any constraints to potential development.

Survey Inventory

1. Background Information
2. Survey Methodology

Background Information

The appraisals incorporate methodologies from other habitat surveys, such as phase 1, walkover surveys and arboricultural assessments, but they are more detailed and give more information about potential impacts to the ecology from any proposed works and can help outline mitigation strategies.

Ecological appraisals highlight any areas for further survey, such as target species surveys.

Survey Methodology

A systematic and detailed site assessment is undertaken using methods from the phase 1 survey with habitats marked on a site plan and a species list written. Any trees on site will be marked on the map and visually assessed for their condition and potential to support protected species such as bats. Buildings will also be assessed for bat potential. Signs of protected species will be looked out for, such as badgers and great crested newts and any signs of the presence of these species will be noted on the map and a grid reference recorded using a GPS handset.

A detailed site plan will be created incorporating all the information collected on site along with a report detailing all habitats and species present and outlining any constraints this will have on development and where necessary will recommend further survey.
