POLICY

Land-use planning

Whether as reactive "development control" or proactive "forward planning", land-use planning affects our wildlife, especially reptiles and amphibians. Strong conservation policies here will make a significant contribution to the long term survival of populations. We are therefore involved actively at all levels in seeking stronger protection and enhancement measures and seeing a greater support for biodiversity conservation through the planning system. To help local implementation (in England) we have produced the following documents:

 
Guidance on building development (England) with respect to amphibians and reptiles. >>>
Common toads and roads: guidance for planners and highways engineers (England). >>>
