We are experienced and an expanding ecological consultancy, specialising in bat surveys. Our ecologists are experienced in bat survey, European Protected Species licensing, mitigation design and implementation and supervision of works.
Bats and their roosts are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
If your planning application requires a bat survey, we can help to ensure that your development passes smoothly through this process.
The objective of a 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 and foraging routes; and
- Recommend ecological mitigation and enhancement where required.
We are well placed to undertake bat surveys in Chippenham and the wider county of Wiltshire, including Swindon, Royal Wootton Bassett, Marlborough, Devizes, Salisbury, Tidworth and Melksham. We are also able to serve the surrounding counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Dorset and Somerset.
