LUC Associate Ecologist gains new bat ‘low impact’ licence from SNH
LUC’s Associate Ecologist, Juli Titherington, is happy to have gained a new ‘bat low impact’ licence (BLImp) from Scottish Natural Heritage.
The SNH Licensing team has launched the new bat low impact licensing approach, which is a lighter touch licensing approach for development works affecting low numbers of non-breeding soprano and common pipistrelle bats.
Juli has gained her BLImp licence by having held a current bat survey licence, which is valid for Scotland, and by having a proven track record of expert experience and good practice.
The BLImp aims to remove a step of bureaucracy and uncertainty over the success of bat licences in low impact projects.
Juli looks forward to putting her new licence to work during the upcoming busy survey season.
