I agree with the principles laid out here, but would push for the council to require ecological assessment at multiple points in the year. While animal activity is more commonly found throughout the year, many plants are only visible at certain times (especially orchids, the Lady orchid being one of the priority species) and so can be easily missed if a survey is completed in winter or late autumn.
