8. Note to Applicant: In order to minimise impact on local bat populations and bat roosting opportunities, the following measures shall be implemented: - Prior to starting works, all contractors will be briefed by the bat worker to ensure that they are aware of the presence of bats, their legal protection and procedures should a bat be found at any stage of the building work, all building workers must be made aware that there is a bat roost and informed that bats may be present. See https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works. - Prior to starting works a Pre-works inspection survey will be undertaken. Any significant change will require reassessment of the methodology. - All roost sites should not be illuminated by any site lighting during construction and operation. Please refer to Institution of Lighting Professionals, Guidance GN08/23 Bats and artificial lighting in the UK for further information. Luminaires must be low level and directional to light essential walkways and doorways etc.. only and should feature a peak wavelength of >550 nm with red / warm light spectrum to avoid the component of light most disturbing to Bats.
