- CONDITION 1 Application Form as shown in; 668911-ApplicationForm_v1.pdf (Received by the Local authority 19th August 2025). ASBESTOS REINSPECTION SURVEY Deeleys/Windmill Farm, Dunchurch, Rugby, CV22 6RH (Received by the Local authority 19th August 2025). Structural Survey- Disused Barn adjacent to Windmill Cottage, Dunchurch, CV22 6RH- Ref 1286167-01 (00) MAY 2025 (Received by the Local authority 19th August 2025). Drawing Number. Q7500.EMS.SWRugby.034 Date. 21 May 2025 (Received by the Local authority 19th August 2025).
- INFORMATIVE 1: Bats can be found in many buildings, even those that initially appear to be unsuitable or have been subject to a bat survey and found no evidence. Therefore, if any evidence of bats is found on site, work should stop while a bat survey is carried out by an experienced bat worker, and any recommendations made following the survey are undertaken. It should also be noted that as bats are a mobile species and can move into a property with potential access at any time. A further survey may be required if the works are not undertaken within two years. Bats and roosts are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, and The Conservation of Habitat and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).
- INFORMATIVE 2: Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Birds can nest in many places including buildings, trees, shrubs, dense ivy, and bramble/rose scrub. Nesting birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). The main nesting season lasts approximately from March to September inclusive, so work should ideally take place outside these dates if at all possible. N.B birds can nest at any time, and the site should ideally be checked by a suitably qualified ecologist for their presence immediately before work starts, especially if during the breeding season.
- INFORMATIVE 3: Lighting can have a harmful effect on bats impacting on their use of a roost and also their commuting routes and foraging areas. Light falling on a roost access point is likely to delay bats from emerging, which can be especially damaging around dusk as that is when there is a peak in the number of insects. In the worst case scenario, it can cause the bats to desert the roost. Bats and their ‘roost’ sites are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. Bats, birds and other nocturnal animals should always be taken into account when lighting is being considered. It is respectfully advised that lighting is kept to a minimum around the roof area and is limited to illuminating the ground and not any possible access points or foraging corridor. For further advice on this please contact the WCC Ecological Services on 01926 418060.
