Appendix B: Wildlife Sites and <strong>Biodiversity</strong> Checklist<br />
It is an offence to kill, injure, disturb or destroy European Protected and National Protected Species and their<br />
place of shelter, habitat or protection – whether or not planning permission is granted. In <strong>Hertsmere</strong> European<br />
Protected Species includes (but not limited to) Bats and Great Crested Newts. Please note that nesting birds,<br />
Badgers, Slow Worms, water voles, purple emperor butterflies (not exhaustive) also have protection in law. If<br />
Protected species are found during the course of any works, developers must stop work immediately and<br />
contact Natural England because protected Species legislation still applies.<br />
The following biodiversity checklist will help you to establish which surveys and correspondences you will require.<br />
Please complete and submit this checklist along with any other surveys, records and correspondence<br />
alongside your application. If it is considered that there is either insufficient or incorrect information, the<br />
planning application may be refused or delayed.<br />
