My clients are going to extend their property in Chellaston by raising the roof and front, side and rear extensions – quite a big remodel.

I undertook an initial bat roost survey (preliminary roost assessment) in October which found that although there are features that are suitable for roosting bats, I was able to examine these with an endoscope and satisfy myself that they are not used by bats.

The planning application is ongoing at the time of writing.
