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.

Please note: all protected species surveys and mitigation are subject to seasonal constraints according the each species behavior and biology.
