Post Construction 166


A post construction monitoring survey would take place following the same methodology as the baseline survey, preferably in the summer. This survey would be undertaken in years one and two post construction. If Water Voles have re-colonised successfully in year one, the requirement for the second year of surveys would be reviewed and agreed with the consultees.

Dormouse


Detailed baseline relating to Dormouse is provided in Volume 3, Section 24.5.2.16 of the Environmental Statement. During ecological surveys no dormouse were found within the vicinity of the Onshore Cable Route or Converter Station and as such no impact is predicted and no mitigation or monitoring is required. Figures showing the areas surveyed for dormice are included in Appendix 24.5 of the ES.

Reptiles Baseline


Detailed baseline relating to Reptiles is provided in Volume 3, Section 24.5.2.20 of the Environmental Statement. Low numbers of reptiles have been recorded at hedges 15 and 10 ditches that maybe be removed or made unsuitable to facilitate construction (see Environmental Statement, Volume 3, Chapter 24).

In addition fourteen survey areas were highlighted on the Onshore Cable Route where notably higher numbers of reptiles were recorded, and of the areas five are avoided by the Onshore Cable Route. The three common species of reptiles found on the route included Common Lizard, Grass Snake and Slow-worm. Areas with low and moderate reptile populations are shown on Figure 24.1 of the ES. Further details of the surveys undertaken are available in Appendix 24.8 of the ES.
