We are a highly experienced ecological consultancy specialising in bat surveys based in Cardiff.
If you require a bat survey as part of a planning application we can help ensure that your development has a smooth passage through planning.
Bat Surveys
Bat roosts are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017.
The objective of the bat survey is to:
- Establish the presence / likely absence of the bat roosts within trees and buildings,
- Identify the activity of bats across the site and key commuting foraging routes, and
- Recommend ecological mitigation and enhancement where required.
Our ecologists are experienced in bat survey, European Protected Species licensing, and mitigation design and implementation.
We regularly undertake bat surveys across Cardiff.
