Para 11:30 talks about bird/bat boxes/bricks to to enable wildlife to disperse - Bird boxes and bricks allow them to breed (and to a lesser extent roost) so I trust this is what you mean by disperse.
Clearer wording re the installation of swifts bricks - which are accepted as the universal nest brick for a range of small species - is needed. These are permanent, low maintenance and suitable for all developments. Best practice guidance for location and numbers should be followed. Bat boxes are needed in addition to swift bricks.
