Mitigation

Mitigation is generally the result of planning conditions, although EPS licenses can require mitigation, as can EIAs. We provide a range of mitigations for all species and habitats. Mitigation reduces the harm to or protects and enhances habitats and species. It follows the process of Phase 1 surveys and any other surveys and is usually undertaken either to enable development or during the development process. The common mitigation requirement is site clearance of reptiles and amphibians prior to development, although habitat and other species mitigation measures are also undertaken.
