Great Crested Newts
At Elite Ecology, we are fully licensed to undertake Great Crested Newt (GCN) surveys across England, Scotland, and Wales, ensuring compliance with UK and European wildlife protection laws. Using industry-approved methodologies, we conduct site scoping assessments, including Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) surveys, population assessments, and bespoke mitigation and compensation plans to support developments while safeguarding local wildlife.
Why Are Newt Surveys Important?
​
Newts are amphibians that rely on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, making them particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and loss due to development and infrastructure projects. While three species of newt reside in mainland Britain, only the great crested newt is legally protected due to declining populations. Conducting a newt survey helps ensure compliance with planning regulations while protecting not just great crested newts but also other declining amphibians, such as the common toad.
​
