Please provide information gathered from developers on the cost of great crested newt mitigation
Dear Natural England,
Natural England sent out a questionaire to developers on the costs of mitigation for great crested newts. This was to justify changes in licensing approaches for mitigation for this species. The letter was not sent to ecologists who would know what they had charged for mitigation works. The questionaire aimed to determine the costs of
• undertaking great crested newt surveys
• completing and submitting the licence application
• compliance with licence conditions eg exclusion of the species from site operations, creation of compensatory habitat, trapping and translocation or other mitigation activities
• reporting back to Natural England
I would like to request the results of this work, by developer and site as I wish to know if the figures were reported accurately.
Yours faithfully,
Brian Banks
