Datasearch requests

A datasearch can be carried out in a specific area or for a particular site or species. Our standard species datasearch is post-1995 records for rare, threatened or protected species; species with a Biodiversity Action Plan or statement and species with a Dorset Notable status, plus records for invasive alien plants within/in the vicinity of your chosen area. Records are provided on an Excel spreadsheet. A list of sites and designation, plus printed maps showing site boundaries can also be provided.

To request a datasearch please download and complete the enquiry form and return it to us by email, fax or post.

If your enquiry crosses the Dorset boundary, you may need to contact one of our neighbouring Records Centres in the South-west via the South West LRC portal swlrc.org.uk. Other LRC contact details can be found via the NFBR LRC Contact database

Charges
Our current charging rate is £75 per hour plus VAT. The costs will vary depending upon the information requested and the how much data is available. Most requests from consultants cost £150 - £225 + VAT. If no data is found there will be no charge.
