Ecological Surveys for 1,000MWs of Solar Farms

HalpinRobbins were commissioned to undertake a wide variety of ecological surveys across England and Wales for a potential 1,000MW of Solar Power farms, as part of an environmental and ecological due diligence process.

The client was seeking to construct and operate a number of Solar Farms across England and Wales and instructed HalpinRobbins to advise on ecological constraints and opportunities within and around potential sites, undertake scoping ecological surveys and prepare and submit planning permission compliant surveys.

For those projects that went to planning and were successful, HalpinRobbins were instructed to supply information and documents relating to any requested ecological planning condition.

For all sites the initial site assessment was undertaken in accordance Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) Guidelines for Preliminary Ecological Appraisal focusing on plant communities, habitats and United Kingdom and European protected and invasive species.

From the gathered information, the client was advised about each sites ecological constraints and opportunities and requirements for further detailed survey works to meet the requirements of a planning application submission.
