A CARE organisation has submitted a planning application to build a new home for Long-eared bats.
Nugent Care wants to demolish a building on the grounds of St Catherine’s Secure Centre on Blackbrook Road.
Blackbrook House, one of number of adjoining buildings on the site, has not been used as a residential building for many years, although its second floor is used for administration work.
It is believed the bats, which are classed as a protected species, have been nesting in the building’s loft.
The plans propose creating a new building to house the bats to ensure planning regulations are followed.
