Ecological surveys in Chambéry.

In Chambéry, the area lies between the Bauges and Chartreuse massifs and immediately adjacent to Lake Bourget, a setting that concentrates valley-floor wetlands, lake habitats and corridors linking the massifs on either side of the cluse. These transverse corridors, constrained by infrastructure, are the most structuring issue in the sector and are closely scrutinised during application review. Our ecologists carry out fauna and flora surveys over a full biological cycle, the characterisation of wetlands under the Water Act, the ecological chapter of the impact assessment and the protected-species derogation application.

In Chambéry, 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 Chambéry

The area around Chambéry 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 Chambéry and its area to secure the project's regulatory timetable.
