Lesser Horseshoe Bat Night Roosts - Forest of Dean

Full restoration of a Grade I listed building and a series of historic barns, regarded by Cadw as one of the finest medieval hall houses in Wales. The site was originally surveyed in 2014 with seven species of bat identified as being present, including lesser horseshoe, brown long-eared and Natterer's.
Luton hoo bat cave (original case study requiring update)
Refurbishment of stately home and change of use to a 5 star spa hotel. Such refurbishment resulted in the loss of hibernation space for daubenton's and brown long-eared bats in the buildings, including cellar rooms. A new 'bat cave' was constructed as compensation.
