There will be further ecology walkover surveys taking place w/c 11th July, 2022 across the whole of the cable route, starting on Tuesday 12th July. Typically, there will be no more than two surveyors in one vehicle for each survey. There may be occasions where there will be more personnel (up to a maximum of four people, in two groups of two) in order to gather information more effectively. They will park where it is legal to do so, generally on private land, where permitted by the landowner, or in suitable lay-bys.
All the surveys are non-intrusive and there will be no impacts to any protected habitats or contact with invasive species. All surveyors will be experienced in undertaking surveys of the target species and, where required, appropriately licensed.
