This species can, therefore, have a wide impact and affect many development sites. Surveys are heavily seasonably restricted, with a minimum of four survey visits of any impacted water bodies being required between mid-March and mid-June, two of which have to be undertaken between mid-April and mid-May.
Aquatic Survey Season: |
15th March - 15th June | |
Terrestial Survey Season: |
15th March - 15th September | |
Environmental (e)DNA Survey
|
15th April - 30th June | |
How long to allow for surveys: |
Potentially across the full survey period | |
Latest date to commence the
|
25th April | |
Notes: |
All surveys are weather dependent. Four aquatic survey visits are required (two survey visits must be between 15th April - 15th May). If GCN found then a total of six survey visits are required to determine a population size, three of which will need to be between 15th April - 15th May) |
|
Planning Risk: |
Survey information is required during the planning determination period, failure to provide may result in delays to determination or even refusal |
|
Construction Risk: |
If found on-site GCN can cause major delays to Site works. Excavations remaining open that are subsequently flooded may result in GCN colonisation if they are present in the area. |
|
Design Risk: |
Potential requirement for on-site mitigation, consideration of SUDS ponds and potential as GCN habitat requires consideration |
