Holbrook

Whitcher Wildlife Ltd were commissioned to carry out great crested newt surveys of a number of ponds adjacent to a proposed development site. A small population of great crested newts was discovered in one small pond close to the site.

Suitable mitigation was agreed with the developer and a Natural England European Protected Species licence was applied for. Once the licence was granted Temporary Amphibian Fencing (TAF) was erected around the site and the great crested newt exclusion began for a minimum of 30 days.

All amphibians have now been excluded from the main site under the Natural England licence. Construction works are due to commence on the site in the near future. Whitcher Wildlife Ltd are currently maintaining the amphibian fencing on the site and will continue to do so throughout the construction period.
