Great crested newt
Quants has licensed great crested newt surveyors and whatever your project requirements, can develop a survey programme and/or mitigation strategy tailored to your site. Timely action from us can avoid delays, minimise your costs and ensure project delivery.
Great crested newts and their habitats are fully protected by UK and European law. During spring they breed in ponds throughout Great Britain but they spend most of the year on land, sometimes over 250 metres from ponds. Great crested newt surveys must be undertaken by licensed surveyors during mid-March to mid-June, although site assessments can be done year-round. Mitigation and licensed work can be lengthy and can only be done at certain times of the year, so it is worth finding out if your site has newts at an early stage to avoid costly delays. Licensed staff at Quants are able to provide a great crested newt survey at short notice in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North East.
