What is a Bat Emergence Survey in Leicestershire?
A Bat Emergence Survey in Leicester, sometimes called a dusk or dawn bat activity survey, is used to determine whether bats are using a building, tree, or structure for roosting. This type of survey is a legal requirement in the UK for many planning applications where bats might be present.
Why is a Bat Emergence Survey Important?
All UK bat species are protected by law. If you’re planning any building or development work, especially near older buildings or woodland, a bat survey may be required. Our surveys ensure compliance with legal obligations and help protect local biodiversity.
When are they done?
Bat Emergence Surveys are typically carried out between May and September, when bats are most active. Surveys are conducted at dusk and/or dawn by our licensed ecologists using bat detectors and visual observations.
Please note due to the nature of bats these surveys may need to be rearranged during bad weather.
