Bat Surveys

We are now well into the survey season for bats, so if you are looking to submit planning applications that are likely to impact upon bat species now is the time to start commissioning bat surveys as the local planning authority will not condition bat surveys, so you could face delays and/or refusal of planning permission for lack of survey effort.

Some useful guidelines on what bat surveys are for and how they are conducted can be found here - CIEEM bat survey guide.
