Works carried out under Permitted Development Rights do not override the protection afforded to these species and their habitats. You must take steps to ensure that the work you are carrying out will not harm any protected species, and if it may do so you must also obtain permission from Natural England prior to carrying out the work. WCC Ecological Services have suggested that the proposed works may impact bats and advise that a bat survey should be carried out.
