Hi guys,

I’ve recently purchased a house and, as part of the planning process, I need to arrange a PEA/PRA survey.

Are there any local ecologists on here who might be interested in taking this on, or anyone who can recommend someone?

My main concern is the potential for the initial survey to trigger the need for bat emergence surveys. We can’t see any obvious evidence of bats or clear roosting locations, but I’d appreciate some practical advice from someone experienced in this area.
I’m conscious that we’re already well into August and, if emergence surveys are required, availability and the remaining survey season could become an issue.
Thanks in advance.
