Wildlife assessment check
Local planning authorities have a statutory duty to consider the potential impacts of a development on sites that are protected by law, for example:
-
on protected and priority species
-
habitats and statutory designated sites
-
Sites of Special Scientific Importance (SSSIs)
The Wildlife Assessment Check considers whether there are any protected and priority wildlife species and statutory designated sites that may be impacted by a development project. It enables you to undertake a simple check at the pre-planning application stage, before a planning application is submitted. This will help clarify whether a proposed site needs professional ecological advice and further assessment.
