This project involved the innovative use of mapping techniques to interpret the results of a series of stakeholder meetings held to discuss Green Infrastructure proposals in the West of England.
The protection and mitigation of the wide diversity of existing habitats has been a key consideration for the design, construction and maintenance proposals presented by the landscape team for the Community Park.
The key ecological and planning policy issue, and thereafter a planning condition, that presented at this site was the presence of a well-established bat roost in the roof void of Park Farm farmhouse.
JFA were appointed to ensure ecological professionalism and efficiency for the client throughout the European protected species licence (great crested newt) application process.
The key legal issue that arose at this site was the presence of the European protected species: the great crested newt.
JFA were asked to design an Ecological Enhancement Scheme to increase the wildlife opportunities and biodiversity at the school to meet planning requirements.
Expert opinion was sought from JFA Ltd following concerns from the local community in 2011 about disturbance to foraging bats due to the new floodlighting.
JFA was commissioned to provide the Ecology Chapter for the Environmental Impact Assessment for this complex mixed-use development.
JFA was able to provide an integrated approach to create a Masterplan which combined landscape and ecology.
Long-term, on-going project, involving EIA, public inquiry and local stakeholder consultation.
