| Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to damage or destroy a roost (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time), to deliberately kill or injure a bat, disturb a bat in its roost, or intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under these acts.
Any removal of roof and wall coverings including roof tiles, slates, hanging tiles, timber boarding, timber window frames, soffit boxes and facia boards shall be carried out carefully by hand. If bats or any sign of bats such as an accumulation of droppings are encountered at any stage of work, work must cease immediately and advice sought from an appropriately licenced bat ecologist on how to proceed lawfully. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant.

| Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:-
- seeking further information following receipt of the application;
In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application. |
| The applicant must be aware of their obligations towards the public right of way as follows:
- If public safety demands a temporary closure, application should be made at least 6 weeks in advance, unless an emergency situation arises, by contacting PROWclosures@worcestershire.gov.uk.
- Building materials and equipment associated with the development must not be stored on the PRoW.
- The safety of the public using the PRoW is to be ensured at all times.
- The grant of planning consent does not entitle developers to obstruct a PRoW.
- Obstruction by vegetation. It is the landowner or occupier’s responsibility to maintain bordering vegetation so as not to impede public passage.
- No additional barriers (e.g. gates, stiles, or fencing) may be installed on or across a PROW without prior written consent from the Highway Authority.
- Surface Reinstatement Any PRoW surfaces disturbed during the development must be reinstated to their original condition or to a specification agreed in advance by this department.
- The width of the PROW cannot be reduced from that currently enjoyed by the public. There is no width stipulated on the path statement, it should therefore be taken as a minimum width of 2m (or greater if the path is enclosed).
Planting next to a PROW Any planned planting should not be done within 1 metre of the footpath, so the surface is not disturbed and to allow for growth.
- Vehicle movements and parking are to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of the PRoW.
- Any person who drives a motor vehicle on a PRoW, without lawful authority, commits an offence (Road Traffic Act 1988 section 34). The applicant should make themselves satisfied that they, and anyone else who may use the PRoW for private vehicular access in connection with the development, has a right to do so. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter. |
