All the British and Irish bats are nocturnal, spending daylight hours in roosts before emerging at night to forage for insects. They hibernate during the winter in hibernation roosts and the females gather in maternity roosts during the summer months to have their young. A variety of other types of roost are used by bats during different seasons and by male bats roosting alone.

Bats may roost in a range of environments, both man-made and natural places, including houses, bridges, caves, mines and trees. Some species are almost entirely dependent on man-made structures, while others roost almost exclusively in trees. They forage in areas rich in insects and may change roosts within their home range. Protection and its implications All species of bat and their roosts are fully protected under the Habitats Directive and the associated Regulations in the UK and Ireland. In England and Wales, there is also some additional protection against disturbance and obstruction from a structure they use for shelter or protection from the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. In Ireland, bats are also afforded protection under the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended in 2000. As a result of their full protection under the Habitats Directive, some mitigation on development sites for bats is governed by a strict licensing procedure, administered by the appropriate statutory agency. A licence will be required whenever disturbance of bats or damage to their roosts is likely to occur. The protection of bat roosts applies even if no bats are present at the time of development. More about licensing for European protected species. Seven species of bat (Barbastelle, Bechstein’s, greater and lesser horseshoe, brown long-eared, noctule and soprano pipistrelle) are priority species in England and Wales, nine species of bat (Brandt’s, Daubenton’s, whiskered, Natterer’s, noctule, Nathusisus’s pipistrelle, pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle and brown long-eared) are priority species in Scotland and three species of bat (Nathusisus’s pipistrelle, common pipistrelle and brown long-eared bat) are priority species in Northern Ireland Priority Species list.

In Ireland, nine species of bat (Daubenton’s Whiskered, Natterer’s Leisler’s Natusius’ Pipistrelle, Soprano Pipistrelle, Common Pipistrelle, Brown long eared and Brandt’s bat) are listed on the All-Ireland Species Action Plans for bats. In common with most protected species, the presence of bats can lead to planning permission being refused unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate that they will be protected during the development, that disturbance is kept to a minimum and adequate alternative habitat is provided to sustain at least the existing population. As bats are European protected species, it will also be necessary to demonstrate that the tests in the Habitats Directive can be met at the planning application stage. Bats roost in buildings, including occupied houses, trees, bridges and underground structures such as caves and mines. Occasionally, buildings supporting a bat roost require demolition, or trees which support a bat roost must be felled. In these circumstances various levels of mitigation will be required by the relevant statutory agency, depending on the type of roost and the numbers and species of bat using it. For example, more mitigation and monitoring will usually be required when development affects a roost used for breeding by a rare species of bat than when development affects a roost used occasionally by small numbers of a common species of bat. When roost interference is unavoidable, the developer has to demonstrate that there is no satisfactory alternative and that they will be no detrimental effects for the species concerned. The foraging habitat of bats is not directly protected in the same way as their roost sites. However, the planning policy that protects bats may extend to cover bat foraging habitat. Should a roost site also be affected by the development, then maintaining the bat foraging habitat is likely to be a condition of a European Protected Species licence.
Mitigation techniques Mitigation should be site specific as the mitigation requirements will differ from site to site. When a bat roost is affected by development, by far the best option is to avoid disturbing the roost and plan work for a time when bats are absent. For example, a building used as a maternity roost in summer may not be occupied by the bats in winter and so the winter months would be the best time to undertake works affecting the roost. For roost sites used on an occasional basis by bats, it may be possible to simply check that bats are absent just before the works take place, although a licence is still likely to be required. Undertaking works while the bats are in occupation of the roost is problematic. One approach for roosts that do not contain dependent young might be to provide the bats with an alternative roost site nearby. When a roost site is simply being modified, for example a barn conversion or building renovation, it may be possible to do the work while bats are in occupation by phasing the work and using a system of screens to separate the bats from the construction work. A precautionary approach should be adopted when demolishing buildings or felling trees which may harm bats. This involves dismantling the building or tree section by section, under licence, and checking carefully for bats as the work progresses. The sections of building or tree are then left intact overnight to give any bats hidden in crevices an opportunity to escape unharmed. Maintaining habitats for bats There are a variety of ways to accommodate roosting bats within new developments.
These include: retaining existing bat roosts by preserving trees and buildings used by bats creating bat roosting spaces within converted barns and renovated houses which are separated from the living space incorporating bat roosting spaces within the structure of new buildings which bats can access via a special bat brick or modified roofing tile providing bat boxes on the outside of new buildings or on trees constructing a purpose-built bat barn or bat tower located away from the new buildings. There are several types of bat box and roosting space which are commercially available and simple to install. However, a bat barn requires careful design and because of its size may also need planning permission before it can be constructed. Bat barns and some types of bat boxes are heated to increase their attractiveness to bats. In many cases, it will be necessary to ensure that replacement roost sites are in place before any existing roosts are lost. For rarer species of bat, it will usually be necessary to demonstrate that the bats are using the new roost before the existing roost is lost. This could take more than a year. Bats forage anywhere that there is a rich supply of their insect food. Linear features such as hedgerows are important for bats to navigate their way around their home range. Maintaining or creating alternative links between hedgerows within and outside the development site can therefore be important. This may be particularly so when hedgerows connect a roost site with an area of important foraging habitat. Ecologists often refer to linear features used by bats in this way as commuting corridors. Monitoring The statutory agencies in the UK and Ireland may require licensed, post-development monitoring. The length of the monitoring period and the intensity of the monitoring activity is dependent on the type of roost and the species affected.
As an example, a maternity site for more common species of bat affected by development is likely to require 2 years or more of monitoring visits to check that the mitigation has been successful. The relevant statutory agency is likely to require that a report on the monitoring activity is provided at the end of the monitoring period. Timing of works The best timing of works involving bat roosts (under licence) depends on the type of roost in question. The following timings apply to the four major roost types: Maternity and summer roost sites: Between October and May Hibernation sites: Between May and October Mating and swarming sites: Between November and August Roosts occupied year round: March to May or September to October Further reading Mitchell-Jones, A.J.

Forward planning of the necessary surveys can save time and money. All of these species have been subject to population declines to differing levels and are subject to high levels of legal protection to benefit their conservation. The South West is especially important for bats as all 16 species can be found there, including both species of horseshoe bat which are subject to much targeted conservation work due to their restricted range and significant declines over the past 100 years. Basic ecology Bat species vary in their habits, and it is essential to take these into account where their presence affects a proposed development. However there are general similarities that are important to know. Bats are nocturnal mammals, and all British bats feed upon insect prey. Bats use echolocation by emitting ultrasonic pulses in order to navigate and detect prey in the dark. There is a marked seasonal variation in their activity and behaviours. During winter months bats will select roosting sites suitable for hibernation that are buffered against rapid temperature changes and that can maintain relatively high humidity levels. During the winter, activity is much reduced and bats will fly less often. Activity levels increase during the spring and they are much more likely to be seen flying from April through to October. Female bats often gather in maternity roosts to have their young, and peak numbers of births occur in mid to late June. Usually a female bat will have a single pup which is dependent for between three and five weeks.
Favoured roosts vary between species, local habitats and the time of year, but may include man-made structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels and mines as well as trees and caves. Bats are relatively long-lived creatures, with some British bats known to have lived in excess of 30 years. Their roosting and foraging habitats are often used year after year and can be extremely important for a given local population.Roosts are protected irrespective of whether bats are present or not at a specific time, due to the seasonal nature of many roosting sites. There are exceptions to these rules, but in almost all development situations these statements must be adhered to. Prohibited actions can only be made legal if a European protected species licence (EPSL) is issued by Natural England. Determination of presence Bats have been shown to use many different locations to roost, and therefore a wide variety of sites must be considered as potential bat roosts. Thought should be given to bats being present in, for example, buildings, trees, caves, mine workings, cellars, tunnels and bridges. Other habitat features important for bats such as hedgerows, woodland, water courses and permanent pasture which may have importance as commuting or foraging routes should be considered too. Removal or degradation of important habitat can have significant negative effects upon local bat populations. Surveys are important to deduce whether bats use a site as a roost or a particular habitat for commuting and foraging. The type of survey used will largely depend on the time of year, the individual site features and the ultimate purpose of the survey. In many cases more than one type of survey, at different times of day or year, are required. Some of the most common surveys where developments are concerned are bat roost surveys and flight activity surveys. 1. Bat roost surveys Surveys of buildings, bridges, specific trees and underground sites may be targeted for the presence of a bat roost.
Survey methods will vary depending upon the site, but will basically look for particular signs that show bats are using the site, including bat droppings and feeding remains. From these indicators it is sometimes possible to tell which type of bat species uses the site. As well as determining the presence of a roost surveys also aim to make informed opinions as to how the site is used by bats and the level of importance the roost represents to the local population. Surveys of roosts can be carried out at anytime of year, as signs of bat presence will often remain even if it hasn’t been used for several months. Sites which are suspected to be used as hibernation roosts require extra care and attention when surveying, as arousing bats in torpor can have detrimental effects upon their survival. 2. Flight activity surveys Where potential roosts cannot be surveyed directly, such as roosts that are within extensive habitat or where bat usage of habitat is being determined, it is necessary to carry out a flight activity survey, including dusk emergence and dawn re-entry surveys. Survey methods will vary depending upon the site and survey purpose, but generally involve surveyors using bat detectors to detect ultrasound emitted by bats and by visually monitoring bat movement. Bat detectors convert ultrasound emitted by bats into a series of audible sounds. It is often possible to determine the species or group of bats present based on the type of sound and frequency that is detected. Mitigation Where proposed developments are deemed to affect bats, a European protected species licence (EPSL) must be obtained from Natural England before construction works may take place. Licences may be issued for reasons of overriding public interest (which may include a development) on the basis that there is no satisfactory alternative, and that the actions will not be detrimental to the overall conservation status of bats.
Licensing processes may take a considerable time to complete and forward planning is recommended. Strategies to mitigate and compensate for the impact of the development should be planned early in the proceedings. The aim of such measures should be to maintain and preferably enhance populations affected by development. Mitigation and compensation measures should be proportionate to the impact of a development, and based upon adequate knowledge. Good initial surveys and impact assessments are extremely important when planning such measures. A method statement outlining a developer’s plan to mitigate and compensate with regards to bats will be required in any application for an EPSL. Potential impacts of developments on bats include: loss of roosts and potential roosting sites Bats can be extremely sensitive to artificial light and may avoid illuminated areas or become susceptible to higher levels of predation. Considerations when planning mitigation and compensation: adjusting plans and layouts of developments to reduce impacts on bats to includeSome works may need to be completed outside certain times of year, or new roosts colonised before existing ones can be destroyed or modified. Early planning should avoid delays to proposed work schedules. Summary All bat species in Britain are European protected species and afforded high levels of legal protection, including from killing, injuring, and damage to their roosts.

Advanced bat survey techniques involve catching bats using mist nets, harp traps and sometimes acoustic lures, and healthy bats may also be radio-tagged and radio-tracked to locate their roosts or where they forage.
All bats caught on advanced surveys are released as soon as they have been identified, classified and measured (processed), and some bats may be fitted with a small ( high level of training is a pre-requisite for holding these kinds of licenses. Bats are small, nocturnal and elusive, and it can be very hard to identify certain species. They are one of the most challenging groups of protected species to survey for in Europe when considering the impacts of development. Advanced bat survey techniques are therefore very useful for understanding exactly what bats use a site and how they use it. The more invasive nature of these methods does pose a small increased risk to the welfare of individual bats, and the surveys can also sometimes temporarily disturb bat behaviour. However, because these techniques are only employed by suitably trained and licensed people, the methods are only used where it is both ethical and effective to do so. With the above in mind, advanced bat survey techniques are a surprisingly cost-effective way of gathering high-level information on the bat assemblage at a given site, which therefore enables a more robust impact assessment in the context of (re)development-type activities. While advanced bat surveys are usually only required where non-invasive survey methods such as bat detecting cannot provide the required information, you should always at least discuss the suitability of these techniques for your project with an expert bat ecologist. Chapter 9 in the current Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) Good Practice Survey Guidelines (2016) provides some good examples of where the use of advanced survey techniques might be appropriate. Knowledge of the species’ ecology and its distribution is essential to determine this likelihood, as is a comprehensive desk study to include consultations with local wildlife groups.
The above four bat species (and their habitats) require special attention in an impact assessment because they are afforded additional legal protection as ’Annex II species’ under the EU Habitats Regulations. Their scarcity also means they are considered conservation priority species. As such, and because they can easily be mistaken for the more common species within their respective genera, advanced surveys should also target these two species if a proposed (re)development site is reasonably likely to support them. Advanced techniques can also be used to confirm the status of, and locate, bat roosts within buildings and other structures, and to assess the importance of underground sites for bats. This then significantly augments the appraisal of the bat assemblage at the site, any impact assessment, and the design of any required mitigation and compensation strategy. In addition to the useful information pertaining to advanced licensed bat surveys in the current (2016) BCT bat survey guidelines there are several publications that provide information on capturing and processing bats, including the JNCC Bat Workers Manual, 3rd Edition (2004), NE guidance note WML-G39 ( Guidance on the capture and marking of bats under the authority of a Natural England licence ), and Kunz and Parsons (eds.)
