All of the UK’s reptiles are protected by law.
If the site has suitable habitat for reptiles, a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal will recommend further reptile surveys.
Presence or absence of reptiles will be confirmed through 7 checks of artificial refugia, which are installed throughout suitable habitat. Survey set up takes 2 weeks, and then the surveys must take place over several weeks so please allow time in your schedule for these.Â
Any species present will be identified, and a population size class assessment made.
We can then devise a detailed method statement that avoids/minimises the impacts of the development on reptiles, and provide site supervision  to implement it. Whether that be simple precautionary measures during works, or removing the reptiles from site prior to work starting.
