Whitcher Wildlife Ltd carried out surveys of a series of disused buildings at Unsliven Bridge Farm in South Yorkshire as part of a planning application to convert the buildings.
The surveys identified the presence of Common Pipistrelle bats, Whiskered bats and Brown Long Eared bats roosting in the loft spaces of the buildings and Common Pipistrelle and Soprano Pipistrelle bats roosting in the walls.
A Natural England EPS licence was issued to carry out the development works whilst retaining the loft spaces and additional bat boxes were provided for bats to use in the long term.
