bat survey, maerdy uchah llandelio

We were commissioned to carry out a bat survey of a farmhouse at Maerdy Uchaf, Taliaris, Llandeilo. The building was proposed for demolition prior to the construction of a new dwelling.

Common pipistrelles and brown long-eared bats were found roosting in the building. We prepared a licence application ensuring that provision for bats was made within the new dwelling and supervised a ‘soft strip’ of the building to ensure that no bats were harmed during the demolition works.

Have you been advised to do a bat survey by your local planning authority?

The Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 mean that all bats and their roosts are fully protected.

The objective of a bat survey is to: Establish the presence or likely absence of the bat roosts within trees and buildings; Identify the activity of bats across the site plus key commuting and foraging routes, and Recommend ecological mitigation and enhancement where required.

Here at Acer Ecology, our ecologists are experienced in bat surveying, European Protected Species licensing, mitigation design and implementation and supervision of works. We serve Llandeilo and the surrounding area including Manordeilo, Talley, Salem, Rhosmaen, Cwmifor, and Brechfa. We also have the capacity to serve Carmarthenshire and South Wales.
