As part of the EIA for
a proposed golf resort project, BCMESL devised and completed the
field work required to assess the potential impacts on both wintering
birds adjacent to the site, and breeding birds within it. This involved
close liaison with the statutory bodies, and in particular, with
SNH. Two detailed ornithological impact assessment reports were
prepared and submitted as part of the EIA for the project. In addition,
ornithological guidance and expertise was used to provide all necessary
assistance to the Project team, in terms of developing and implementing
mitigation proposals, as the project moved into the implementation
phase. This included ongoing detailed consultations with The Highland
Council, SNH and SEPA.
Subsequently, BCMESL was asked to prepare a comprehensive range
of environmental management documentation for the project, including
a detailed environmental management plan, as required by planning
conditions, and by SEPA. This also included preparing an Access
Management Plan, and two comprehensive construction method statements
relating to the construction of the first of two golf courses, and
to the built environment associated with the resort. In addition,
BCMESL completed bi-monthly environmental audit visits.
