In the UK, there are a number of species that receive protection under domestic or European Legislation. At its full extent this makes it a criminal offence to disturb, kill or injure a protected species. There are also a number of species that are protected under policy. Whilst this does not afford the same amount of protection, it means that local authorities are still required to protect them from development.
