Charges for Data Search Reports
As a not-for-profit organisation NESBReC does not charge for the data but an administration fee to cover the staff time in processing the data request. Each data search is assessed individually and will be costed accordingly. The size of the search area is usually the main factor involved – the larger the area, the more time it takes to carry out and compile the data search.
