After working closely with our client and the planning consultant planning permission was granted for 3 residential dwellings on the site of a former vacant pub in Manchester.

Our ecology team carried out a daytime inspection of the building for its potential to support bats and then carried out nocturnal bat surveys to determine that no bats were roosting within the building.

The daytime and nocturnal bat surveys followed the bat conservation Trust Guidelines for bat surveys and were undertaken quickly and efficiently to meet our clients planning deadline and ensure no planning conditions were implemented for ecology to allow the planning permission to be granted.
