The aim of this note is to provide a consistent approach to dealing with applications for single large wind turbines, ie greater than 250 kW, that takes into account the current lack of knowledge of the scale of any impacts of wind turbines on bat populations, whilst providing a proportionate and precautionary response. It has been written to help wind turbine developers, planners, statutory nature conservation agency staff and wind turbine operators consider the potential adverse impacts on bats when drawing up or assessing proposals for single wind turbine developments. It will be updated as more evidence becomes available.
