A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, or PEA, was previously known as a Phase 1 Habitat Survey. It is frequently requested by a Local Planning Authority to identify habitats, ecological constraints and the potential presence of protected species.
The appraisal establishes whether mitigation or further species-specific surveys may be required. Species considered can include bats, birds, great crested newts, badgers, hazel dormice, otters, water voles and reptiles.
We typically guarantee your completed PEA report within 7 days of the survey date—or it’s free.
