Ecology Phase 1 Habitat Survey
A Phase 1 Habitat Survey/ecological appraisal is usually the first step in appraising the ecological value of a site. It comprises of an initial walkover of the development site, mapping habitats and identifying whether there is potential for protected species to occur.
Depending on initial findings, further detailed surveys may be required, for example a formal Ecological Impact Assessment, (EcIA). FLA prepares impact assessment reports in accordance with the latest guidelines from the IEEM.
