Bat Surveys
Been asked for a bat survey for a planning application? We provide Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRAs) for houses, extensions, conversions, re-roofing projects and other small developments.
Ecology Surveys
If your planning application requires an ecological assessment, we provide proportionate Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs) for residential and small development projects.
Not Sure What Survey You Need?
If you've been asked for an ecology survey but aren't sure what's required, send us the details and we'll help you understand the next steps.
Ecology Made Straightforward
West Country Ecology is an independent ecological consultancy specialising in residential and small-scale planning projects.
From an initial bat survey through to ecological assessment and practical advice, you'll deal directly with an experienced ecologist who understands both the ecological requirements and the planning process.
From Enquiry to Report
A straightforward process from start to finish.
What Happens if Bats Are Found?
Finding evidence of bats doesn't necessarily mean your development cannot proceed.
Depending on the findings of the initial assessment, further surveys may be required to establish how bats use the building and determine what measures are needed for the proposed works.
We'll explain the findings clearly and advise you on the appropriate next steps.
