Phase 1 Habitat & Protected Species Survey Assessments

This is a preliminary and baseline survey, which includes a Phase 1 Habitat survey and also assesses the site in terms of its potential to support protected species of plants and animals and those of nature conservation concern. Where a site contains a building this will involve an external and internal assessment of the building  by a licensed bat ecologist for signs of roosting bats and/or nesting barn owls. This survey assessment is a necessary first-step in the planning process and is frequently undertaken for clients as it can save considerable time and costs.
