Otters
Quants has experienced otter specialists and whatever your project, our experts will do the right survey and provide practical mitigation advice tailored to your requirements. Commercially focused action from us can avoid delays, costs and headaches for our clients.
Otters and their holts are fully protected by UK and European law. Otters inhabit rivers, streams, lakes and coasts and can have large home ranges (up to 40km or river bank). Otters are active year-round and can give birth at any time of the year. Surveys can be undertaken year-round and mitigation can take place at any time when otters are not breeding. If your development affects otters or their holts, a licence may be required and mitigation must be agreed before planning permission is granted.
