Could plans for a huge extension at Aberdeen's only 5-star hotel be scuppered by bats....?
Planners are recommending the go ahead be given for the project - which will see an extra 228 bedrooms provided at the Marcliffe..
But councillors have been told that a survey needs to be carried out first - to see if bats would be affected by demolition work..
The redevelopment would create around 80 jobs.
