DLP32 and 11.30 are welcome but currently not sound, not effective nor consistent with national policy, lack of detail.
"bird / bat boxes and bricks" in 11.30 is vague, 'bat bricks" is term for bat access bricks for existing buildings rather than "integrated bat boxes" (e.g. refer to products www.nhbs.com), external bird boxes not national policy, no guidance referenced.
In summary, please amend 11.30, e.g.
"bird / bat boxes integrated into the building fabric, such as swift bricks which are a universal nest brick for small bird species, installed in accordance with best-practice guidance such as BS 42021 or CIEEM."
