Extended Phase 1 Habitat surveys

Oatlands Ecology can carry out Phase 1 Habitat Surveys throughout the year ensuring ecological issues are considered at the outset of a project avoiding unexpected and potentially costly delays later.

The Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey includes the Ecological Scoping Assessment and Desk Study and forms the basis of any future Ecological Assessment.

An Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey report will:

• Map each habitat, listing dominant and notable species
• Identify all ecologically sensitive features
• State whether these features are likely to be impacted
• Assess whether the site is likely to support protected or otherwise notable species
• Determine whether Controlled Species (e.g. Japanese knotweed / giant hogweed) are present
• State whether further ecological surveys will be required
• Recommend measures to offset ecological impacts
