6. INFORMATIVE: 1 Please be aware that a bat roost is known within the main building on site. It is a criminal offence to disturb or destroy a bat roost, even if the roost is only occasionally used. 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). Where a bat ‘roost’ is present a license may be necessary to carry out any works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 020 802 61089. Any works with the potential to impact upon the roost must be undertaken appropriately with advice from an experienced bat worker. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately, and Natural England must be contacted on 01453 764450 for advice on the best way to proceed.
7. INFORMATIVE: 2 Consideration should be given to the provision of suitable bat and bird boxes within the new build or adjacent trees in order to increase opportunities for wildlife. Many bat and bird populations have declined dramatically in recent years due to loss of roost, nest and foraging sites as a result of development. However, a variety of bat and bird species use boxes and they can be particularly useful in the built environment, where natural nesting places can be scarce. Please ensure that the boxes are appropriately sited and not lit at night in the case of bat boxes. Further advice and information can be obtained from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). WCC Ecological Services (tel: 01926 418060) would be pleased to advise further if required, in particular regarding which type of boxes to use.
8. INFORMATIVE: 3 Buildings of all ages and trees with suitable features (i.e. rot-holes, cracks, fissures) are frequently used by roosting bats. 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), making them a Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to recklessly disturb or destroy a known or suspected bat ‘roost’, even if the roost is only occasionally used. Where a bat ‘roost’ is present a license may be necessary to carry out any works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 02080 261089. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately, and the National Bat Helpline must be contacted on 0345 1300 228 for advice on the best way to proceed.
