Ecological Mitigation - Strategy of avoidance

When ecology surveys are completed and the impacts of a development are assessed, detailed ecological mitigation proposals can be drawn up. In its broadest sense mitigation includes avoidance, mitigation measures and compensation plans. Avoidance is often the most cost-effective way to mitigate, for example, by adjusting the layout of a scheme in areas of high nature conservation value, also by altering timings of works so that the site is left undisturbed during sensitive times, such as the breeding season.
