Power to the beetle
Language: English Series: Estates Gazette ; (0541) 15 October 2005, 68-70(3)Publication details: 2005Subject(s): Summary: Looks at the implications for development sites of the extended protection to the habitats of many species of animals, insects and plants afforded by PPS9, the new planning policy statement aimed at biodiversity and geological conservation (see L130648). The wider range of species protected will certainly mean that more developers will have to have proper ecological surveys carried out on viable sites at extra cost. Developers need to be aware that protected species can migrate from their usual habitats to other locations because of intrusive levels of human activity. PPS9 seems to suggest that planners will have to be convinced that on sites with any degree of ecological sensitivity that developments could not take place on alternative sites resulting in less or no environmental harm.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
