Gwynedd council was considering the application for 11 pods at Bluebell Woods, Caerhun, which would also include pathways, a parking area, soft landscaping and drainage.

A bat survey commissioned before the proposed work concluded that without a mitigation strategy the impact on the creatures would be "major" and restrict many of "the most light-sensitive species" from continuing to use the location.

They were observed entering the woodland from the north of the site and along the road corridors in the area, as well as "congregating" in the open parkland in the south-west corner.

The mitigation strategy recommendations included "maintaining the woodland as a suitable flight corridor and foraging area", to preserve part of the woodland as a "dark area for bats".

Without mitigation, the impact would be assessed "as major" at a national level, primarily due to the effect of lighting on bat access through the woodland, the survey said.

Further ecological mitigation proposed included use of bat boxes, a lighting plan with "properly positioned and shielded lighting minimising light spill", standard trees and 20 smaller trees and hedging.
