The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

As well as bats, signs to look out for indicating that bats are/have been present include droppings and piles of moth wings. Bats can roost in buildings at any time of the year and therefore checks should be made whatever time of year the work is planned for. Bats are able to enter even the smallest holes. Pipistrelle bats can enter holes measuring only 20mm by 15mm so even small holes should be investigated.
