This will include the following lighting measures: Construction works between March and October should be undertaken during daylight hours only to avoid disturbance to bats that may forage and commute through or near the site.Lighting to the completed house and garage should be as low brightness as possible, kept at a low level and directed away from all structures and boundaries.Lighting on sensors should not be so sensitive that foraging bats trigger them.All lighting must follow the Bat Conservation Trusts and Institute of Lighting Professionals guidance on bats and artificial lighting (BCT, 2018) Reason: To protect wildlife species
10. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are recommended. This should include two bat boxes and two swift nest boxes. Built-in bat and swift bricks/boxes are preferred over externally mounted boxes as they do not require maintenance and cannot fall off. Bat boxes should be placed in dark locations away from windows or porch roof lanterns which light the exterior of the building. Additional guidance is available from the Bat Conservation Trust and Swift Conservation. Enhancing the garden with additional night-scented flowering plants will help attract moths and other pollinating insects as food for bats and swifts. 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.
