Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting
sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981
(as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), the
latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to damage or
destroy a roost (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time), to deliberately kill or injure a
bat, disturb a bat in its roost, or intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost. Planning
consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under these acts.
Any removal of roof and wall coverings including roof tiles, slates, hanging tiles, timber boarding
timber window frames, soffit boxes and facia boards shall be carried out carefully by hand. If bats
or any sign of bats such as an accumulation of droppings are encountered at any stage of work
work must cease immediately and advice sought from an appropriately licenced bat ecologist on
how to proceed lawfully. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and
provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant.

---

A bat box shall be installed within the land ownership of the site (e.g. Ibstock enclosed bat box, Habibat bat box, Schwegler Wall-mounted Bat Shelter 2FE, Schwegler 2F Bat Box). The box should be installed at least 4m above ground-level, and not placed above windows. The roosting feature shall be installed before the first use of any part of the development.

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.
