Overview

Below are the Ecology Risk checks currently available in Mycelia. These are being adjusted and added to over time based on your feedback (please email mycelia-support@verna.earth with any thoughts).

Baseline

Risks associated with the assessment of baseline habitats.

  • High proportion of baseline area habitats in poor condition
  • High proportion of baseline hedgerows in poor condition
  • High proportion of baseline watercourses in poor morphological condition
  • Potential for unrecorded open mosaic habitat
  • Potential for unrecorded irreplaceable habitat
  • Potential for unrecorded habitats of higher distinctiveness
  • Broad habitat and habitat type do not match
  • Non-ecologist has completed small sites metric
  • Site survey/walkover out of date
  • Walkover and baseline habitat photo date mismatch
  • Incorrect strategic significance for baselines if an LNRS has been adopted

Interventions

Risks associated with the proposed interventions, e.g. creations and enhancements.

  • Creation or enhancement of traditional orchard
  • Development footprint may be missing
  • Interventions targeting good condition with high or very high difficulty
  • Wetland proposed when there is no wetland in the baseline
  • Creation of vertical habitats
  • Broad habitat and habitat type do not match
  • Off-site interventions with no referenced baseline
  • Proposed new post-development habitat in good condition
  • On-site habitats targeting good condition
  • Incorrect strategic significance for post-development if an LNRS has been adopted

Losses

Risks associated with loss of important or irreplaceable habitats.

  • Metric indicates necessary bespoke compensation has been agreed
  • Metric indicates necessary bespoke compensation has not been agreed
  • Permanent loss of natural watercourse

Size, length, trees

Risks associated with area, length, or numbers of trees.

  • Individual trees without supporting comments
  • Habitats with zero size
  • Missing habitat reference numbers
  • New medium or larger trees proposed post development
  • Very small habitat area or length
