Great Crested Newt, Amphibian & Reptile Surveys

Great crested newt surveys are often required if your planning application involves the removal or disturbance of ponds. Such surveys have to be conducted by a suitably licensed ecologist.

Our consultants hold licenses for all UK protected reptiles and amphibians including Great crested newt and can conduct all survey and mitigation works you may require. We are fully experienced in both small and large scale mitigation projects and regularly conduct habitat improvement works for a range of amphibian and reptile species.

The UK has a number of legally protected amphibian and reptile species all occupying a range of different habitats. The Great Crested newt is usually the most commonly encountered during development works. The survey period for the majority of amphibians and reptiles is limited so seeking professional advice at your earliest opportunity is strongly recommended.
