2 Introduction NT buildings and bats The Bat Mitigation Project Key conclusions NTPL/NaturePL/Steve Packham Phil Richardson NTPL/NaturePL/Philippe Clement
3 NT Buildings & Bats Chris Damant Jude Smith Jude Smith NTPL
4 The Bat Mitigation Project - Background 10 NT case studies (Appleton, 2003) Effect of barn conversion (Briggs, 2004) Analysis of licences (Stone et al, 2011) NT Bat Mitigation Project 2012 critical appraisal - Mitigation for bats: the National Trust experience (Smith, 2012)
5 Locations of case studies
6 NTPL/Geraint Tellem NTPL/Robert Morris Jude Smith Jude Smith Toby Fisher
7 Results 62% maternity roosts 18% hibernation roosts 72% roosts brown long-eared bat 42% roosts common pipistrelle NTPL/Bat Conservation Trust/Hugh Clark NTPL/Bat Conservation Trust/Hugh Clark
8 Is mitigation successful? Defining & monitoring success For the 40 post 2002 case studies: % cases monitored post works 86% EPSL 47% MS % cases where method suitable for determining numbers of bats: 71% EPS 26% MS Jude Smith NT
9 Is mitigation successful? Results Success? Comparison of EPSL and stand-alone MS where monitoring has taken place % successful % unsuccessful % partial success EPSL (N=19) 79 (N=15) 10.5 (N=2) 10.5 (N=2) MS (N=8) 100 (N=8) 11 (N=1) 0
10 Is mitigation successful for all types of building works? Level 1 Retain full Continued Ecological Functionality Timing for low disturbance of bats or when bats absent Preserve / maintain most access to roosts No physical change to roost Same dimensions e.g. Re-roofing and/or patch repairs to roofs, firewalls with open doors, masonry repairs, insulation(?) Level 2 Major works involving: Reduced dimensions / volume of bat roosts Partial exclusions and replacement roosts (partial compensation) in same building Changed access points Significant impacts on wider environment e.g. flight lines & surrounding habitat. Includes some Continued Ecological Functionality as above Level 3 Major works involving: Full exclusions Roost destruction New roost provision Full compensation
11 Results - EPSL EPSL subset in relation to success of mitigation EPSL cases Success Partial success Failed No data % Success Level Level Level Totals Two sites for which there are no post work monitoring data at Level 2 are not included in the analysis

13 Case study Dinefwr Farm Buildings Carl Morgan
14 Results MS only MS subset in relation to success of mitigation MS cases Success Partial success Failed Level Level Level Totals % Success Eight sites for which there are no post work monitoring data at Level 1 and two sites at Level 2 are not included (N=9) in the analysis. Sample size is very small!
15 Case study High Wray Base Camp Toby Fisher Toby Fisher Soprano pipistrelle Toby Fisher Peak emergences of Soprano pipistrelle at High Wray Basecamp: data courtesy of Toby Fisher
16 Summary 84% re-occupation rate post works for NT EPS cases compared with study (Stone et al 2011) (bats were recorded at 53% of sites post-development; 68% of roosts destroyed) Simple vs complex projects / mitigation Our study showed inconsistencies in the type & quality of post work monitoring data collected, making an in-depth analysis of the success or otherwise of mitigation difficult Therefore success had to be based on simple presence of roosting bats post works
17 Recommendations Clear objectives & definitions of success Consistent, fit for purpose monitoring strategies needed Provisional monitoring guidelines more research needed?
18 Lessons for NT Ensure post-project monitoring incorporated across the board Continue to mentor staff as to the importance and purpose of post-project monitoring Work with staff, volunteers and the profession to develop post project monitoring that is fit for purpose and as a charity, cost effective.
