Other type details: Undeniable presence of a Bat colony.
Comment: In the course of 2016 Cllr Burnett attended a gathering of concerned owners over the proposed development of Northcliffe Lodge at number 1 Dyfed, Northcliffe. During the course of the meeting where Cllr Burnett listened to the concerns of the owners, doors to the balcony were opened for Cllr Burnett to see for herself the colony of bats feeding on the wing. They swooped and flew in front of her.
On the second visit of Cllr Burnett to number 1 Dyfed, Northcliffe (to update concerned owners and listen again to their concerns) she witnessed the same most amazing sight of these bats again.
If there was any reason for the environmental survey NOT to find evidence of bats they must surely have been at the wrong property.
To accept the environmental survey as it stand would be to condemn the habitat of defenceless and protected animals without substance and must surely be subject of further scrutiny.
