Notes
•An administrative charge is likely to be levied for any search undertaken. If you wish to receive an approximate cost for the search prior to submitting this form, please contact the Ecology Unit on 0161 342 4409.
•Unless preauthorisation to proceed is provided above we will always provide you with a quote for the cost of a search prior to going ahead. We endeavour to process searches within fourteen working days of receiving the go ahead. Occasionally however, other work pressures may result in a short delay. Please provide as much information as possible to reduce the likelihood of a delay.
•If no plan is provided the site will be taken as the grid reference given (e.g. the search will take place within a 1km radius of the centre of a given grid reference).
•Please note that data will be supplied in the form of maps. If you require further information, such as the data presented in a tabular form, an additional charge will be made. Requests for this additional information should be made when requesting the search, as this will have to be factored into the time it takes to fulfil the search and as such the price.
•Our records are not comprehensive and a negative result does not indicate the absence of protected species from the area of search. We advise that all suitable habitats and structures impacted by the proposals are surveyed for protected species.
•Our data searches include all data held by the South Lancashire Bat Group and the Greater Manchester Bird Recording Group with a portion of the search fee being passed to these groups to support their ongoing work.
