Phase 2 Habitats & Species Surveys

Phase 2 habitat and species surveys can be required by the local planning authority if the site area has semi-natural habitats, such as wetlands, woodlands and grasslands; or if the site supports habitat for protected species. The methodology for each type of Phase 2 survey is unique, although most habitat surveys use the National Vegetation Classification.

JFA can undertake Phase 2 surveys across a range of species and groups and have long-experience of doing so. We ensure that the results accord with accepted methodology and our surveyors are suitably qualified for the species or habitats in question.
