Acer Ecology has recently undertaken bat surveys in Wantage, Oxfordshire.
Has your local planning authority advised you to have a bat survey?
This is because bats and their roosts are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
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 and key commuting and foraging routes; and
- Recommend ecological mitigation and enhancement where required.
Here at Acer Ecology, our ecologists are experienced in bat surveys, European Protected Species licensing, mitigation design and implementation and supervision of works. We can help to ensure that your development passes smoothly through this process. We are able to provide a competitive quote to potential clients on a case-by-case basis.
We are an experienced and expanding ecological consultancy specialising in bat surveys and are therefore well placed to undertake bat surveys across Oxfordshire, including Wantage, Abingdon, Burford, Didcot, Headington, Witney, and Woodstock. We can also carry out survey work in the surrounding counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire.
