Protected Species Survey

Encon Associates provide a Protected Species Survey service which may be required as part of planning applications.

Local authorities will often require a survey for protected species which may be present on site to be provided with most planning applications. Animals such as bats, birds and newts are legally protected and must not be harmed by construction works. It is now a legal requirement to survey any building earmarked for demolition to ensure there are no bats present - this is where a Protected Species Survey is required
