Ecological surveys in Poitiers.

In Poitiers, ecological survey work covers two distinct sets of issues. The cereal plains of the Poitou, home to special protection areas dedicated to plain-dwelling birds, call for specific survey protocols and reduction measures suited to agricultural calendars. The valleys and cavities of the Poitou threshold also form significant bat roosts, whose presence dictates the works schedule. Our ecologists carry out surveys over a full biological cycle, the ecological chapter of the impact assessment, the Natura 2000 impact assessment and the protected-species derogation application.

In Poitiers, 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 Poitiers

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