Lot #1For the Greatham NE project, Great Crested Newts have been identified as being present…Awarded

For the Greatham NE project, Great Crested Newts have been identified as being present on site. To compensate for the loss of habitat as a result of the managed realignment (preferred option), the EA are looking to enter into an agreement with Natural England to secure a GCN District Level License.<br/>By joining Natural England’s district level licensing scheme, you comply with your legal duty to protect great crested newts. You pay for off-site compensation ponds instead of carrying out detailed surveys and applying for a mitigation licence.

Delivery: UK

Extensions: Other options that have been considered include providing on site compensation habitat, however due to Biodiversity Net Gain rules and lack of EA owned land, this option has been determined as not feasible. <br/>The value of the District Level License totals to £270,639.60.
