Construction Environmental
Management Plans: Biodiversity
Practical plans that discharge the biodiversity conditions on your planning permission and keep construction compliant and on programme.
What is a CEMP: Biodiversity?
A Construction Environmental Management Plan for Biodiversity (CEMP: Biodiversity) sets out how ecological features will be protected and managed throughout the construction phase of a development. It is often required to discharge a pre-commencement planning condition.
Our ecologists produce a site-specific CEMP: Biodiversity covering protected species precautions, habitat protection, pollution prevention and ecological toolbox talks, giving your contractors a clear, auditable method to work to.

Why you need a CEMP: Biodiversity
A CEMP: Biodiversity is commonly required as a pre-commencement condition, so development can't lawfully start until it's approved.
Required before you start
Many consents require an approved CEMP: Biodiversity before any works begin on site.
Keeps you compliant
It sets out how legally protected species and habitats will be safeguarded during construction.
Avoids delays
A clear, agreed plan reduces the risk of stop-work notices and costly hold-ups.
