Other type details: The desturctioin of the habitation of bat roosting colony and the felling of protected trees.. Comment: The 2008 decision Notice, 2008/00177/TPO for felling trees by the cliff edge of the Northcliffe apartments included the following note: Bats and nesting birds must not be disturbed or destroyed during felling work. a Full visual inspection of the trees to be felled must be carried out prior to felling to check for the presence of bats and nesting birds. Bats may be present in cracks, cavities, under flaps of bark, in dense ivy and so forth. The Ecology report carried out by David Clements Ecology Ltd stated that they had only done a visual inspection from the ground and therefore cannot have come to conclusions based on the requirements in the NOTE, with its requirement for FULL inspection. The Comments of your Ecology officer does not explain why she does not maintain the terms of the 2008 Note.
