Ecological surveys in Annecy.

In Annecy, the ecological stakes are dominated by the lake and its associated habitats (reed beds, shoreline wetlands and catchment), whose preservation receives constant attention from the authorities reviewing applications and conditions the acceptability of lakeside projects. The surrounding massifs, including the Bauges, add mountain-habitat and altitudinal-corridor stakes. Land pressure makes avoidance difficult and offsetting costly, which argues for a very early diagnosis. Our ecologists carry out four-season surveys, the ecological chapter of the impact assessment and the protected-species derogation application.

In Annecy, the wealth of natural habitats (Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF, protected species) makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development. Four-season surveys, VNEI, CNPN application and the mitigation hierarchy secure environmental authorisation and planning permission.

FAQ

FAQ, ecological surveys in Annecy

The area around Annecy concentrates high biodiversity stakes (Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF, protected species and habitats). As soon as a project is likely to affect natural habitats, an ecological survey conditions the environmental authorisation, the impact assessment and the planning permission: fauna and flora surveys over a full biological cycle, impact assessment and the Avoid-Reduce-Offset mitigation hierarchy.
Yes: fauna and flora surveys across the four seasons, ecological chapter of the impact assessment (VNEI), Natura 2000 impact assessment, and protected-species derogation application (CNPN) with the definition and monitoring of ERC measures. Our ecologists work in Annecy and its area to secure the project's regulatory timetable.
