Instructed by Quod planning consultants on behalf of Travis Perkins, Encon Associates were responsible for providing ecological consultancy to mitigate potential issues relating to the presence of protected species on this parcel of land close to Rother Valley Country Park in South Yorkshire.
Development Site Area: 0.6 hectares
Gross Floor Area: 12,500 sq ft
Services Provided:
Contribution to Planning Consent: Extensive protected species surveys to confirm the absence of newts, reptiles and badgers
The initial ecological appraisal of the site revealed the need to carry out further surveying to establish if the land was being used by Great Crested Newts (GCN), slow worms or badgers. Following further surveys, including an extensive GCN survey, we were able to confirm the land was free of protected species and planning consent was granted by Sheffield City Council to enable the retail development to proceed.
We are always happy to offer impartial advice and guidance - if you have a requirement for one of our services and would like to discuss, or to request a quote, please contact us below.
