The strategy shall: a) identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for bats and that are likely to cause disturbance in or around their breeding sites or resting places or along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example for foraging; and b) show how and where external lighting will be installed (through provision of appropriate lighting contour plans and technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent bats using their territory or having access to their breeding sites or resting places. All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the strategy. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without the prior consent from the local planning authority. If no external lighting is proposed, this should be confirmed in writing to the Local Planning Authority before any works start on site.
