7. "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-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works. The existing surface water drainage arrangements for the house may be suitable for the extensions but this should be assessed and submitted to be checked. Biodiversity enhancements will be required. Built-in bat bricks and/or swift bricks could be built into the new extensions, or externally mounted boxes could be added to the existing house. The garden could be enhanced with flowering plants to attract pollinators such as moths, as food for bats. 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-your-box) Swift nest boxes are best positioned under the eaves or on walls facing north, northeast or north-west out of direct sunlight, five metres above the ground, with clear adjacent airspace so swifts can access them in a high-speed direct flight.
