Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes). 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals. This approval relates to the submitted documents and drawing all received on 20.10.2025. NOTE The applicants are advised that bats and their roost spaces (which have been confirmed in 8 properties within the Cronk Grianagh Estate) are legally protected under the Wildlife Act 1990, and this includes protection from reckless action. Works without suitable checks for bats would be considered reckless. The applicants shall undertake thorough checks for bats prior to the works taking place. Checks should be made in any gaps or crevices around the roof, such as the lead flashing around the chimneys or under any lifted or loose tiles, as well as inside the roof void. As well as bats, other signs to look out for include droppings or accumulations of moth wings. Bats can roost in buildings at any time of the year and therefore checks should be made year- round. 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. Bats are listed on Schedule 5 of the Wildlife Act 1990; they are protected by law and it's an offence to intentionally or recklessly: o kill, injure or take a bat; o damage or destroy, or obstruct access to, any structure or place which bats use for shelter or protection; o disturb any bat while it is occupying a structure or place which it uses for that purpose.
