Bat Special Areas of Conservation Planning
This guidance has been prepared jointly by Natural England (NE), Wiltshire Council and local experts and researchers. It is aimed at applicants, agents, consultants and planners involved in producing and assessing development proposals in the landscapes surrounding Wiltshire’s most sensitive bat roosting sites which are protected by European wildlife legislation. Within these areas there will be a requirement for adequate survey information, mitigation and compensation for bats in order to demonstrate that development proposals will not impact on the designated bat populations. The guidance applies to all types of development that are subject to planning control.
