We have commissioned the Dorset Environmental Records Centre to undertake extended phase 1 ecological surveys of sites proposed for allocation, to inform the production of the Dorset Council Local Plan, and to ensure that ecological constraints of sites are identified at an early stage. A broad representation of sites was selected for survey and the findings of the surveys can be accessed below. 

This is not an exhaustive list of the surveys undertaken. Further findings will be added when they are available.
