5. Note to Applicant: In the unlikely event of any bats being found during demolition or construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be informed. Additional information is available on the Bat Conservation Trust website at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-withbats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works
6. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required. A bat box or a swift nest box on the main house may be appropriate for this site. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4 m above the ground, away from artificial light sources, sheltered from strong winds and exposed to the sun for part of the day, facing south, south-east or south-west. (https://www.bats.org.uk › our-work › putting-up-yourbox) Swift nest boxes are best positioned under the eaves or on walls facing north, northeast or northwest out of direct sunlight, five metres above the ground, with clear adjacent airspace so swifts can access them in a high-speed direct flight.
