Newt translocation is a legally regulated process used to safely relocate great crested newts from development sites to suitable habitats elsewhere.
What Do Translocation Works Include?
Translocation works include capturing any great crested newts on site using amphibian proof drift fencing and pitfall traps. We would them move them from the site, less than 1km away, to a safe receptor area with equivalent or better habitats.
The size of the impacted great crested newt population determines the amount of capture effort needed to clear an area. This can only be done under a mitigation licence granted by Natural England and should only be used as a last resort.
