The Wildlife Assessment Check is a free online tool for householders and small to medium-scale developers who want to undertake a development project to check whether they will need expert ecological advice before submitting a planning application or carrying out work under permitted development.  The site provides guidance on whether ecological assessments are likely to be required.  Please note this site will provide guidance only. The site may be helpful at pre application stage and it is not designed to replace the judgement of a qualified professional ecologist about the potential wildlife impact of a development project.
