To complete the final phase of the creation of
a SANG (suitable alternative natural greenspace)
Background
Tyting farmhouse and adjacent buildings were sold by the council
for redevelopment. The remaining farm buildings (except the
bullpen) were demolished, and the land landscaped to create a SANG
funded by a s106 Planning Agreement. The conversion of the bullpen
to a bat hibernaculum was included in the planning for the creation
of the SANG. Surveys have shown the presence of bats within the
bullpen. This project will create a customised space for bats that
previously occupied the farm buildings now demolished.
The decision meets the requirements for the
Council and there were no alternative options available.
