This Bill would strengthen protections for bat habitats outside buildings, while allowing reduced protections for bat habitats inside buildings where bats’ presence significantly affects people using the building. In short, it tailors bat protection to the setting—enhancing outdoor protections and limiting indoor protections where there is a notable impact on building users.
Currently at the second reading in the House of Commons; it is in the early stages of passage and has not yet reached committee stage or the Lords.
