If you want to convert an old barn and instead of seeing it fall into disrepair, want to do something constructive with it and resurrect it into a different form, then you usually require an ecological survey. KJ Ecology Ltd can carry out these surveys and inform you if you have any protected species with in it. If on the off chance you do have protected species in your building, KJ Ecology Ltd will give you the best compliant way forward, so that you can proceed with your project as quickly as possible.
This old granary at Manor Farm, Owmby was not being used due to modern agricultural practices and so to diversify, the Knapton's wanted to create luxury self-catering accommodation. The barn had nesting Swallows in, so no works could commence until the Swallows had reared their young. Opportunities were made for the Swallows in other barns to nest for future years. The barn has been converted and looks really good now, as well as been saved for future generations. Pictures of the inside can be viewed at www.theoldgranarylincolnshire.co.uk as well as for bookings etc.
KJ Ecology Ltd can carry out a range of initial surveys and if you have a project that requires an ecological survey, then give us a call on 07807 655237.
