14. All British bat species are European Protected Species by virtue of their listing under Annex IV of EC Directive 92/43/EEC (The Habitats Directive). This Directive has been transposed into British Law under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017). As the bat survey revealed the presence of a bat, work may require derogation in the form of a licence from NRW, which the developer has to apply for. Before such a licence can be granted, the following tests (specified in Article 16 of the EU Habitats Directive and in regulation 55 (9) of the 2017 Regulations) must be satisfied: (i) there is "no satisfactory alternative" to the derogation. (ii) the derogation is (not detrimental to the maintenance of the populations of the species concerned at a favourable conservation status in their natural range.) (iii) the derogation is (in the interests of public health and public safety, or for other imperative reasons of overriding public interest, including those of a social or economic nature and beneficial consequences of primary importance for the environment). This planning permission does not provide consent to undertake works that require an EPS licence. It is an offence to deliberately capture, kill or disturb EPS or to recklessly damage or destroy their breeding sites or resting places. If found guilty of any offences, you could be sent to prison for up to 6 months and/or receive an unlimited fine. To undertake the works within the law, you can obtain further information on the need for a licence from Natural Resources Wales on 0300 065 3000 or at: https://naturalresources.wales/permits-and-permissions/protected-species-licensing/european-protected-species-licensing/information-on-european-protected-species-licensing/?lang=en It is a criminal offence to intentionally, or recklessly disturb, harm, or kill bats or to destroy a bat (roost), even if only occasionally used. If bats are encountered on site works should stop immediately an NRW should be contacted (Natural Resources Wales, - General Enquiries: enquiries@naturalresourceswales.gov.uk or 0300 065 3000 Mon-Fri, 8am - 6pm) a licence may then need to be applied for from NRW. Licences are not automatically granted by virtue of a valid planning consent, and it may be possible that the necessary licence application may be refused.
