  • changes of use - where there are no physical works proposed
  • nonmaterial amendment

Ecological checklists are not required where the application is accompanied by an ecological report (EcIA - Ecological Impact Assessment), undertaken by a qualified ecologist and carried out within the previous two years.

How to submit

The Ecological checklist must be completed in full and correctly in order for the application to be valid.
