Dear Monitoring Officer

On seeking advice from environmentalists all over the country I have been told that an ecological survey should have been carried out and if necessary damage mitigation measures put in place.  I am also informed the local councillors should act and assess what has been done to the land.  I know you have recently claimed I am vexatious for mentioning the damage to this Local Wildlife Site/protected amenity land, so if you refuse I shall have to go back to them all publicly and explain the situation.

The legal position – Planning application implications:

  • Councils can refuse permission or require retrospective ecological surveys and mitigation.
  • They may impose conditions or request biodiversity offsetting or habitat restoration.

Please could you arrange the ecological survey and the local councillor reports.

Yours

Sheila
