  BRERC Notable Species list is available on request (£10.80 incl VAT)
• Non-Notable species

Customised Data Searches

We can also provide a Customised Data Search Service, which can be tailored to your needs.
For example we may be able to provide:

• a faster service
• bespoke presentation of data
• data that’s not listed above (eg Invasive species, common species, etc)

Data Search Charges

The BRERC Data Search Service is a charged service.
Any charge is for the time and expertise needed to perform the Data Search; it is not a charge for the data provided.

BRERC aims for transparency in its Data Search charges:
- When you request a Data Search, you will get an estimate of how much it will cost.
- Further information is available on the Commercial Data Search Charges and Non-Commercial Data Search Charges pages.
- A document on BRERC's Standard and Non-Standard Data Search Charges is available on request.
