Obtain scoping surveys from qualified ecologists to assess the habitat value of the site 4. Identify and detail the work required to repair the fabric to allow the building to continue in agricultural use, based on three criteria of urgent, necessary and desirable - annotated photographs or rectified photography preferred so that the proposed works can be presented in a visual way to owners, tenants and funders 5.
