Bat Survey and Ecology Report Dorking
Competitive, Fast, Reliable
Are you are a developer in the Dorking, Mole Valley or wider Surrey area? If so, then you will need to provide your local planning authority with evidence that your proposals will not negatively impact upon protected species and/or habitats at your development site. This is often in the form of a protected species, phase 1 habitat or bat survey. Your LPA will also consult with Natural England before any planning is authorised to ensure than European protected species such as e.g. bats and great crested newts, and their natural habitats, are not disturbed. For further information see the Waverley Borough Council web site:
A bat, protected species or phase 1 habitat survey will reference specific species and habitats afforded legal protection under the Habitats Regulations 2010 or Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Further survey work will be recommended, where appropriate, in the resulting interpretive report. This report is unique to the extent and nature of your site of proposed development.
