Descriptive summary to be provided by SNH. Zonal prospectus currently under production.

The NE Scotland LBAP has a Species Action Plan for Daubenton's bat which notes that known hibernation sites are in the stonework of bridges and that inappropriate bridge maintenance can potentially destroy roosts and resident bats, which are protected by law.

Route biodiversity issues and biodiversity objectives to be added from LBAPs, NHZs and other relevant sources as they become available.
