The report does not comply with BS402020, in particular its' rationales for evaluations are unclear. This is particularly important in a built-up area. There is no full consideration if any habitats or species classified under Section 41 of the NERC Act are present. There is no rationale as to why Great Crested Newts are viewed as likely to be absent e.g. HSI scores for water bodies. There is no consideration of the importance of site features within an network of suburban habitats and its linkages to the railway line.
We note "balancing pond" is not a Phase 1 habitat.
