Torr Works Wind Farm - arable fields

Torr Works Wind Farm

Expert witness at public inquiry for a 4-turbine onshore wind farm development adjacent to Torr Works Quarry in Somerset.
​The main issues related to potential impacts of the wind turbines on bats, birds (peregrine) and dormice.
​Bats were the most contentious ecological constraint, with the site located next to ancient woodland; a mitigation strategy was developed to prevent or reduce effects on bats.
Potential solar farm site near Warwick - arable farmland

Solar Farm, Warwickshire

Huckle Ecology was commissioned to undertake an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey of a large site to inform a planning application for a solar farm.
​In addition to mapping the habitats and potential for protected species, recommendations for ecological enhancements were provided, as well as habitat management to provide benefits for biodiversity.
Proposed Development near Wivenhoe, Essex

Residential Development, Essex

A Preliminary Ecology Appraisal of a small site was undertaken to accompany a planning application for a single new build property.
​The Site was part of a field adjacent to a road and other housing. By incorporating mitigation and recommending enhancements for the site, it is likely that overall, there will be a net benefit for biodiversity.

Wind Turbine on Kirkby Moor, Cumbria

Kirkby Moor Wind Farm

Jon Huckle has been involved with a proposed repowering of the current Kirkby Moor Wind Farm for nearly four years, including designing and undertaking ecology surveys and developing a Habitat Management Plan for the site, which is located within a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
​The project has involved complex assessment of ecological impacts as part of a multidisciplinary project team, and extensive consultations with the statutory body, Natural England, to agree an acceptable mitigation strategy.

Proposed residential development site in Bunwell, Norfolk

Housing development, Norfolk

Jon was asked to prepare an Ecological report, for a small site in Norfolk - this was for a single dwelling in a village in South Norfolk.  By recommending a pragmatic set of mitigation measures that followed best practice procedures, a cost effective solution was developed. The result has been a planning consent and a happy client.
Reptile habitat on brownfield site in Haverhill, Suffolk

Brownfield Site, Suffolk

Huckle Ecology was asked to provide ecological clerk of works services for a former industrial site in West Suffolk. The work involved supervising the clearance of vegetation from a site to prevent harm to protected species (and other wildlife) prior to intrusive geotechnical investigations.
