As part of National Highways’ A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross upgrade, and among a number of environmental mitigation measures, the bespoke bat house was constructed close to the new dual carriageway early in 2022.

Following extensive survey work and planning with Cornwall Environmental Consultants Ltd, Costain constructed the insulated house incorporating specially designed crevices and open flying spaces to accommodate the needs of varying bat species.

Two years on and the teams have now discovered Lesser horseshoe bats roosting in their new home – constructed of locally sourced Cornish stone and slate – along with recorded activity of brown long-eared and common pipistrelle and myotis bat species.
