Biodiversity Surveys

Biodiversity is the general term used to cover both ecology and protected species.
Where a proposed development may have possible impacts on wildlife and biodiversity,
information should be provided on existing biodiversity interests and possible impacts on them to
allow full consideration of those impacts.
 
Applications for development in the countryside that will affect areas designated for their
biodiversity interests are likely to need to include assessments of impacts and proposals for long
term maintenance and management. Further details of the type of assessments and information
that is required can be found using the links below: -
Further Guidance
Government planning policies for biodiversity are set out in Planning Policy Statement 9:
Biodiversity and Geological Conservation
(PPS 9) (August 2005).
