Reptile Surveys
Common reptiles are afforded limited legal protection under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).

The purpose of this survey is to provide a high level of survey for common protected British reptile species in order to assist in demonstrating compliance with wildlife legislation and planning policy objectives. Namely for:

» Viviparous lizard (Zootaca (Lacerta) vivipara),
» Slow-worm (Anguis fragilis),
» Grass snake (Natrix natrix); and
» Adder (Vipera berus).

The key objectives of this survey are as follows:

» Assess the presence or likely absence of reptiles within the site and its local environs.
» If reptiles are found to be present on the site, give an indication of the population size of each species present.
» Provide recommendations for further ecological survey work and mitigation where assessed as necessary and suggest potential enhancements.

To get advice on timings of surveys give us a call for an informal chat to see how we can help. We have experience in undertaking surveys for all British animals for large developments local authorities and small developments in the UK particularly in London and the south east of England.
