HalpinRobbins carries out protected species surveys throughout Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and across the South West, supporting planning, conservation and development projects.
Badger surveys identify setts, territories, and activity patterns. Survey evidence supports planning submissions, mitigation planning, and licensing where disturbance cannot be avoided.
Bat surveys assess buildings, trees, and landscapes for bat roosting and activity. These surveys support planning applications and inform mitigation and licensing requirements.
Beaver surveys assess presence, activity, and habitat use within riparian environments. Survey findings support impact assessment, mitigation planning, and land management decisions.
Botanical surveys record plant species and vegetation communities. These surveys support ecological assessment, impact evaluation, and biodiversity planning.
Bird surveys assess breeding, wintering, and migratory bird use of a site. Clear evidence supports planning decisions and mitigation during sensitive periods.
Dormouse surveys assess habitat suitability and presence through recognised survey techniques. Survey results inform mitigation and licensing strategies.
Amphibian surveys assess ponds and terrestrial habitat for great crested newts and other species. These surveys support planning and licensing decisions.
Invertebrate surveys assess terrestrial and aquatic species assemblages. This work supports ecological appraisal, impact assessment, and monitoring.
Invasive species surveys identify non-native species that may affect development viability or ecological value. Early identification supports effective management planning.
Reptile surveys identify species presence and habitat use. Survey evidence informs mitigation, translocation, and planning compliance.
Water vole and otter surveys assess riparian habitat and species activity. This supports planning, mitigation, and licensing requirements.
Contact HalpinRobbins for protected species surveys, assessment, and licensing support across England and Wales. Our team will help you manage ecological responsibilities with clarity and confidence.
Protected species requirements can create uncertainty without clear, timely advice. Working with HalpinRobbins gives you:
Our focus remains on providing proportionate, defensible survey evidence that helps projects progress smoothly.
HalpinRobbins provides protected species surveys that support planning applications, development projects, and land management where legally protected wildlife may be affected. Our species surveys identify presence, assess risk, and guide mitigation and licensing requirements with clarity. By understanding protected species constraints early, you reduce the risk of delay, enforcement action, or costly design changes later in your project.

Species surveys play a critical role in demonstrating how development proposals will avoid harm to protected wildlife. Planning authorities and regulators require clear evidence that species presence has been assessed and impacts managed responsibly. Early protected species assessment informs design, survey scope, and programme planning. Clear survey evidence also supports wildlife licence applications and mitigation strategy development, reducing risk during determination and delivery.
Effective species surveys provide structured evidence that supports informed decisions. Our surveys follow recognised guidance and are timed appropriately to capture reliable data. This approach ensures survey effort remains proportionate while meeting legal and planning requirements. Our services outline how our species survey support covers a wide range of protected and notable species.
