Natural England is seeking your comments on a new set of Standing Advice for Protected Species for local planning authorities.
Closed date: 29th September 2010
Issued: 18th August 2010
Following pilot projects in the South East and the East of England Natural England has now produced a set of national standing advice. From mid-October 2010 Natural England will only be providing advice on those applications where adequate survey information is available and where significant impacts on protected species are likely as a result of development.
It will apply to all Local Planning Authorities except those in the South East where a second pilot project will be running.
