Surveys will need to be completed by the developer.  Surveys include logging numbers and species diversity (e.g. fish surveys & benthic population for water bodies / population counts for animals / flora counts). 

A once off assessment will be required for flora and fauna as part of the permitting process.  However, it will be necessary to carry out multiple assessments over a 12-month period to properly assess this geoinformation parameter.  Populations of flora and fauna are subject to change over the year (with certain fauna species migrating and therefore will not be present all year around).
