Re: Snoasis

I believe Mrs Fish means the not so rare Daubentons Bat when she talks about the 'very rare pond bat'. Natterers Bat is the other important species present.

The bat cave is off site and will be undisturbed, what will probably be disturbed is their flight patterns and only experts will be able to say if that is a serious issue.

There is a high density of Badgers in this part of Suffolk, they may or may not be affected.

As for Gt Crested Newts, I'm sure enthusiasts have had lots of practice in transferring these from other ponds in the past and probably the same will happen in this case.

Right, having cleared up these exaggerations, perhaps Mrs Fish can tell us if Snoasis is going to be built on the old dusty cement factory site, or in the old quarry being used for landfill.
