    The effect of building work on bats

    Ten Case Studies (2003) by Chris Appleton

    The National Trust manages a large number of buildings. After sample surveys, all are assumed to have bats. At any one time about a quarter of the buildings are undergoing some form of repair, maintenance, part-renewal or change of use. All of these alterations are likely to affect roosting bats.

    This study looks at 10 cases where bats were known to be present, building works occurred and the results monitored afterwards. The cases cover a geographical spread across National Trust regions. Properties include Avebury, Berwick Wharf, Fountains Hall, Fountains Cellarium, Polesden Lacey, Killerton, West Wantage, Igtham Mote, Stackpole, and Lodge Park. A variety of bat species were involved.
