Lake District Bat Surveys £329 – Arbtech Bat Consultants

The Grizedale and South Lake District areas are known mostly for the tourist attractions nearby, such as the mountain bike trails and tree-top adventure course. The area is relatively heavily forested and, like much of the Lake District, quite undulating, all of which makes the Grizedale and South Lake District regions an ideal breeding ground for bats. Whilst bats are known to live in trees and caves, they tend to roost in different places depending on the species and time of year, and have been known to roost in barns, lofts and other buildings. They are particularly attracted to dark, warm and quiet spaces such as the eaves of houses and attics.

Bats are a protected species in the UK, and so any attempt to disturb them without the appropriate permissions is against the law. This means that anyone planning a building project, whether it’s a new development or an extension to an existing property, must be aware that where the presence of bats is suspected in an area, a full bat survey must be carried out as part of the planning application.
