Prior to occupation of the development hereby permitted, a lighting design for bats shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the County Planning Authority. The strategy shall identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for bats and that are likely to cause disturbance along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example, for foraging; and show how and where external lighting will be installed (through the provision technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent bats using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places. All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the design, and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the design. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the County Planning Authority.
