6. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required in accordance with Local Plan policy DM 11 and NPPF paragraphs 187d and 192 b, and are recommended in the form of a bat box or a swift nest box. 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. 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.
