Asked by caroline
Hi Caroline
As is usually the case, the answer is that "it depends".
If bats are known to be roosting in a property then it is very unlikely that you will get planning (even outline) without a bat survey. If however, you have had both a physical inspection (preliminary roost assessment) and emergence surveys done (follow links if you're unsure what these are), then there is no reason why not.
I hope that is helpful.

Asked by Grahamtruscott
Hi Graham
It's not clear whether you're asking about our reports, or reports in general. In either case the answer is...
...It depends. It would normally say something in your report about this, or in your appointed consultant's terms and conditions. A rough guide would be 12 months, though it could be a lot more or less depending upon the situation.
Asked by Clyde hunter
Hi Clyde
Yes, while it varies for a whole host of reasons, one season/year is probably at the upper end of the range most local planning authorities will accept.
Hope that helps.

Asked by Paul Carter
Hi Paul
No, there is not a 'general box'. Some species are crevice dwelling and others are larger and need a void of some sort. So that's very odd.
Answer to your second question; no. I've never heard the name before.

Rob

Asked by Valerie
Hi Valerie
This sort of thing is not possible to determine unless you employ a combination of visual assessment and laboratory analysis of the soils and roots (if any), below your foundations.
Sorry we can't be more help, however you have asked for an answer to a question that deals with probabilities; not certainties.
Best wishes
Rob
