The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations set out in the Preliminary Roost Assessment report carried out by Arbtech dated 29th October 2024 and submitted with this application. In particular:

- The removal of the plant should be done quickly with minimal noise and lighting and with no contact made to the bat loft by machinery. The works should be undertaken in the shoulder season (October-November or March-April) to minimise the risk to any bats that may roost or hibernate within the building from after the survey has been conducted but before the works take place.
- In the unlikely event that a bat or evidence of bats is discovered during the development all work must stop and a bat licensed ecologist contacted for further advice.
- The client has been advised that efforts should be made to contact the named ecologist and provide an updated assessment of the use of the bat loft by bats. It is recommended that removing the metal access grate and installing a loft hatch over the winter period will provide clearer access for bats and could increase uptake.

Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
