Revised Good Practice Guidance for Habitats and Species

To support the work of members, we have revised the Good Practice Guidance for Habitats and Species, which provides a list of key references for species and habitat survey, mitigation, management and monitoring in the UK and Ireland. The list is intended to signpost the most up-to-date guidance documents, where they exist.

The Institute’s Code of Professional Conduct specifically requires members to maintain professional knowledge, work to expected standards, and have “regard to the relevant published technical guidance and standards“. Members working with any given habitat or species should therefore be fully conversant with the documents listed.
