​

When do I need a Phase 2 Habitat Survey? 

​

Phase 2 Habitat Surveys/National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Surveys are used to obtain more detailed information about a site than that collated within a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (P.E.A). These surveys are also able to assess the condition of the habitats located on a site, as well as monitoring short and long-term habitat creation and restoration projects.

 

The National Vegetation Classification (NVC) system enables detailed assessment of all UK habitat types and compares survey information to nationally recognised plant communities to allow us to advise on habitat complexity and rarity in local to national contexts.   The survey aims to identify areas of increased botanical value and highlight the presence of rare and / or scarce floral species. We have experience in carrying out these surveys on a wide range of habitat types.
