| Buildings are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Habitat Regulations 1994, the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to recklessly disturb or destroy a bat 'roost'. Where a bat 'roost' is present a licence might be necessary to carry out the works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 0117 3728000. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately and Natural England must be contacted on 01453 764450 for advice on the best way to proceed. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
