Construction and Ecological Management Plans
Protecting wildlife and habitats during construction works
A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) sets out the measures required to protect ecological features during construction and development works. CEMPs are commonly requested by Local Planning Authorities as part of a planning condition to ensure works are undertaken in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with ecological recommendations.
At Stour Ecology Ltd, we prepare practical and site-specific CEMPs that provide clear guidance for contractors, developers and site managers, helping to minimise ecological risks and ensure compliance throughout the construction phase.
