Check nature values and protected areas around a site

If the site touches protected nature it affects both design and permits, so it needs to be established early. Yesper searches the Swedish EPA's (Naturvårdsverket) data and summarises, for example, nature reserves, Natura 2000 and shoreline protection for your area, and can show the boundaries on a map in the chat. Most relevant in the early siting and planning stage.

How to do it in Yesper

  1. State the project location in the chat, or point to the project material in Secure folders.
  2. Ask Yesper to check protected nature and nature values via Naturvårdsverket.
  3. Ask Yesper to show the boundaries on a map.
  4. Review in Yesper and include the result in your material.

Settings & tips
