All data requests should be made to Durham Biodiversity Data Service by emailing dbds@durhamwt.co.uk.

There is a charge for these data searches which aims to cover the costs incurred by DBDS for managing and retrieving data.

Data searches will be charged at £90 per hour or part thereof. A standard data search with a 2km radius takes I hour. Special rates apply to single species searches. Please contact DBDS for details of these.

All data searches are accompanied by a unique validation code which can be used to demonstrate to clients/planning authorities that up-to-date data from DBDS has been used.  

Data is supplied in paper format. We supply species lists, maps of sites showing Local Wildlilfe Site boundaries, Local Wildlife Site citations and any more recent survey reports, and BAP habitats where possible. The data includes relevant contextual information.

Public

Data requests can be made through the EYE project which holds an archive of wildlife data for Durham and is currently digitising other datasets for the north-east region.
