Something very strange has occurred here.Trees were felled during the nessting season despite this being unlawful and these trees contained birds nests and some of the trees were suggested as possible bat roosts.Why has no action been taken against the developer for this contravention of wildlife law?Any disturbance to bats has to be sanctioned by a licence as bats are a European Protected species.And why did the council fail to take action against these unlawful acts?This is a very worrying situation.It appears that the ecology reports have been totally ignored.
