Ecological surveys
Nanterre, Île-de-France

In Nanterre, the ecological issue may seem secondary given the business context, yet it is frequently the late sticking point of operations. The banks of the Seine form an identified corridor, brownfields and infrastructure leftovers shelter sometimes noteworthy flora and fauna, and above all the buildings themselves host protected species — nesting birds and bats — whose presence makes a derogation application mandatory before demolition or major refurbishment. Our ecologists carry out this building survey, the field surveys, the ecological chapter of the impact assessment and the CNPN application.

In Nanterre, 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.
