All work led by CIEEM-member ecologists holding relevant Natural England survey licences. - Phase 1 / UK Habitat Classification (UKHab) surveys - Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRA) and bat emergence/re-entry surveys - Great Crested Newt (GCN) surveys — eDNA, torch, bottle-trapping - Breeding bird surveys - Badger surveys and sett assessments - Reptile surveys - Full Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA) **When needed:** planning application requiring ecological assessment; building conversion or demolition with bat roost risk; sites with ponds, hedgerows, streams or rough grassland; development near ancient woodland, SSSI or Local Wildlife Site; protected species suspected on site. **Seasonal constraints (important):** bat emergence surveys run mid-May to September; GCN surveys mid-March to mid-June (eDNA window is mid-April to end June); breeding bird surveys April-June.
