Great crested newts (GCN) are striking amphibians which are protected under UK law, meaning that any project affecting their habitat must carefully plan for their conservation.

With proper planning and the right approach, you can move your project forward smoothly while supporting biodiversity.
A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) comprises a rapid assessment to identify features of ecological interest on site or within the vicinity of the site in order to understand the impacts arising from a proposed project.
