Challenges
Increasingly developers are required to define and take responsibility for species or habitats in the long term. This may be as the result of mitigation for species affected by a development, translocated out of an area to be developed or the remediation of sites damaged by past practice.
Methodology
The first stage in this process will be the preparation of a conservation management plan which sets out the scientific background, the relevant national and local policies, the methods, timescales and measured outcomes required.The preparation of conservation management plans is a skilled job that must bridge the requirement for presentation of detailed scientific data and the need for the plan to be properly implemented by non-specialists.
