Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (“PEA”)

What Is a PEA?

A PEA is typically required as a first step to address the ecological aspects of a planning application and can be conducted at any time of the year. It is an initial site assessment which includes a site visit and a desktop assessment and is used to identify habitats present on site that may support protected species. It will recommend if further reptile surveys are necessary, and any appropriate mitigation and enhancements for the proposed development.
