Local activity of Soprano Pipistrelle and Noctule bats has also been observed.</p><p> </p><p>The bat surveys were undertaken as soon as it became evident they were necessary and completed last week. The survey information is currently being analysed and the final results of the surveys are expected in the next few weeks. An application to Natural England for bat removal licences will be made after planning approval is granted. Subject to planning approval the licences could be available towards the end of this year.
