Demolished Homes - New Bat Roosts at Wylfa, Anglesey

Alongside the dismantling of two former homes a new, state of the art bat roost is constructed on the edge of the Wylfa Nature Trail close to the open coastal grazing of Wylfa Nature Reserve.
The bat roosts would be a planning requirement because so many houses that used to provide roosts for bats, and barn owls are being demolished as part of the development of land around the old power station by New Horizon.
Advised / designed by consultant Richard Crompton and Cambrian Ecological Partnership
Planning permission has been applied for and approved for these bat roosts and the barn owl nesting sites, but an application for the power station has not been submitted. These alternative sites are to show good faith but are experimental. See objections from Hinkley Point where the same thing has happened.
