No I assumed your point was from a cynical perspective but in reality we do need such beaurocracy, their effectiveness and handling is another subject.

It absolutely would be necessary, anything involving a development of this kind would require such a report. For obvious reasons.

An extensive ecology report will have been necessary to accompany the planning application, find it and have a read.

No. The indemnity only covers the legal fees associated that you might amass during legal proceedings. It absolutely does not pay for any remedial costs, no doubt your solicitor has failed to mention that. In anycase it's irrelevant, you're beyond any time limits. Have a google as to how often...
