The Ecosystem Policy Team would be content for any of below the proposed bird strike
prevention films to be used around the padel tennis courts. The applicants must ensure
that the chosen film is applied to all clear glazed panels and as per the manufacturers
instructions, to ensure that the films are effective at preventing bird strikes.

Solyx BSF-DB35 Solar Bird Safety Film
Solartek Bird Strike Prevention Window Film
WingSafe Black and White Dot Bird Protection Film

Best wishes
