How much will it cost?We offer a number of standard request packages, which include species, habitat and sites data. Not all packages may be available for all enquiry types. Requesting data outside standard request packages will require a Custom Search. These will be quoted separately and may be provided in a different format and within a different timescale than the standard request packages. Please email

DBRC Charging Policy for details and exceptions.
Bats & Roof-Nesting BirdsPlease note for single species only, it is the ecologist’s responsibility to determine if this search is sufficient to meet planning requirements.
Neighbourhood Plan requestsFor Parish Councils seeking environmental information to support a Neighbourhood Plan, a standard package is provided. Note, this is only available to Parish Councils.
- Package E – from £78 + VAT: Neighbourhood Plan – For Parish Boundaries. Non Stat & Stat sites - Protected/Notable/INNs
Other data requests from Parish Councils for data should be made via one of the other standard request packages or by using the Custom Search, depending on the type of request.
Non-chargeable requestsThere is normally no charge for non-chargeable data requests. The simplest request provides a standard package containing a summary of Notable and Invasive Non-native species records within a 1km buffer of a specified point. The results are provided in summary form, in a pdf.
- Package P – No Charge: Public Search – This package provides non-sensitive species with 500m from the search location
Non-chargeable requests can be made for any other data using a Custom Search, e.g. specific species or species groups, non-Notable species lists, habitats and sites. Please provide the reasons you believe this search should not be chargeable in your request.
Note: The Public data request type is not designed for Ecological Consultants, developers or anyone seeking to develop land or property. Instead please use the Chargeable request type to submit your data request.
Payment informationFor Chargeable requests an invoice will be sent by email once the request has been fulfilled. If the invoice needs to be sent to someone other than yourself (e.g. Accounts Department) you can create a billing contact as part of the data request. If your company uses a specific email address to which invoices should be sent (e.g. invoices@), please ensure this is also specified in your request.
If your company uses Purchase Orders, please ensure that you obtain one before making your request, otherwise this can cause delays.

What will I receive?You will receive an instant quote for the search, so as soon as you accept the quote and submit your request, we can provide you with the data.
We aim to provide all standard package data within one working day (excluding weekends), although in most cases you will receive the information within 2 hours of your submitted request. We do not provide a 'fast-track' service due to the speed of our normal turnaround.
For standard requests, results are made available through our unique eMapper system, with lots of useful features:
● Interactive mapping of species and sites on Ordnance Survey Maps, Aerial Photos and other background layers
● Customisable display of species records
● Filter records by year, distance, resolution, species list and more
● Download records in PDF, Excel or Shapefile formats
Where a request returns an extremely large number of records, we may supply Excel and GIS files instead of eMapper access.
View examples of our outputs. Using eMapper you have the ability to customise your own reports in PDF, Excel or Shapefile format, using all the data or a filtered subset.
LERC Action Required: You must upload a sample XML file under Configuration > General Settings to enable sample reports
