Conditional No ObjectionThe site lies adjacent to a roost of pipistrelle bats, so it is important that the feeding habitat on the application site is not lost.; If a house were agreed, then an appropriate curtilage should be identified.
Conditions requested: Retain boundary trees and mix of trees/glades for bat foraging; Retain ivy on site (may be controlled but not removed); Identify appropriate curtilage and retain woodland
