An outbuilding at a National Trust (NT) property required extensive restoration work. A site assessment and bat activity surveys were undertaken to inform the NT of how bats were using the building and how their presence would affect the work programme.

 

A European Protected Species Derogation Licence application was made to Natural England and a bat licence obtained for the client. To ensure that the application was successful and that the NT remained within the law a detailed works schedule, mitigation and enhancement proposals (such as timing of works and maintaining access to the roosts), an ecological clerk of works programme (to supervise certain aspects of the work) and a post-development monitoring programme were provided. The NT was able to gain positive publicity from the successful bats return almost as soon as the work was completed.

 

Our company assisted the NT to undertake licensed renovation work on the Orangery and the main house on the same property.
