The Natural Infrastructure Planning Team hold no objections to this development. Please use the new Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan Supplementary Planning Document, Adopted July 2020 for guidance.

We recommend the following informative due to roof works taking place:
Informative: Birds and Bats (Building Works)
The proposed works may take place within a building with suitability for bats or breeding birds. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981), bats and breeding birds are legally protected against disturbance, injury or killing and bat roosts are protected against obstruction, damage or destruction. If bats or a bat roost is present in the building, a licence to carry out the works from Natural England may be required. Please note bats are incredibly sensitive, so any alterations to buildings including roof lining, timber treatment may impact significantly upon them or their roosts. For further information please contact Plymouth City Council's Natural Infrastructure Officers (NatInfra@plymouth.gov.uk). In practice, if any protected species are found on site (such as nesting birds, bats or reptiles) works must cease immediately, and a suitably qualified Ecologist consulted.
Reason: In the interests of the retention, protection and enhancement of wildlife and features of biological interest, in accordance with Joint Local Plan Policies SPT12 & DEV26 and Government advice contained in the NPPF (2021) paragraphs 174, 179 & 180.
