Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal?
A PEA is an initial survey used to assess the ecological value of a site and identify whether further surveys are required. It is commonly requested during early planning stages.
How long is an ecological survey valid for?
Typically, survey results are valid for up to 2 years, though this depends on the development and ecological context.
Do I need a bat survey for a house extension?
If your site includes older buildings, trees, or roof structures, a Preliminary Roost Assessment may be required by your local planning authority.
