<p>A baseline ecological survey was undertaken at Ashchurch in 2008 and updated in
2012. Following this survey no detailed assessments were undertaken for owls, as there
have been no sightings or evidence of protected birds, or dormice, due to no suitable
habitat being identified.</p><p> </p><p>Further detailed studies have been carried
out for both crested newts and bats. Results of these surveys showed there was no
evidence of crested newts and little evidence of bat activity across Ashchurch. However,
one building had a small bat roost and there was a possibility of a bat roost in a
second building.</p><p> </p>
