This page is to help developers understand their environmental and heritage obligations before commencing bulk earthworks on site. Early awareness of these responsibilities is essential to avoid significant legal, financial, and reputational risks. By identifying and addressing requirements in advance, developers can protect environmentally and culturally significant areas, ensure compliance with planning permits, and reduce the risk of costly delays, penalties, or remediation resulting from unauthorised disturbance or damage.
