A Bat Attic must be created within the roof void of barn two; this must be a minimum of two metres by six-metres wide and to the full height of the roof; it must be sealed off and insulated from disturbances from the rest of the building. This feature must be built prior to occupation of the building and must be maintained and retained indefinitely. Two Bat roosting facilities of type Schwegler 1FR Bat Tube must be installed into the walls of barn one and two in the walls of barn two according to the recommendations in the above report as per suppliers instructions. They must be installed prior to occupation of the building and must be retained and maintained indefinitely. Gaps must be made in the soffits of barn one and barn two according to the recommendations in the above report. Any lighting installed in the vicinity of the barns must be restrained as recommended within the above report. Two bat roosts of type Schwegler 1FQ Bat Box or Schwegler 1FD Bat Box must be installed onto buildings or trees in the vicinity that will not be affected by the development to act as refuge sites for any bats found during demolition works. They must be installed according to the suppliers instructions prior to any demolition of the building and must be maintained and retained indefinitely. Any demolition work must be undertaken between October and March inclusive. Further surveys must be commissioned if demolition is delayed beyond June 2013 to provide an updated picture of activity.
