Notice Information

Notice Title

A6 Matlock to Whatstandwell Highway Retaining Wall Maintenance Works

Notice Description

Ecology services are required to ensure local authority works comply with environmental legislation and avoid harm to protected species and habitats. Recent updates have strengthened duties on councils, including an enhanced statutory biodiversity duty under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 (as amended by the Environment Act 2021) and the introduction of mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain. Ecology input supports compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, helps manage legal risk, and ensures works contribute to biodiversity conservation and enhancement.
