Although out of your immediate area I am commenting as I run Shropshire Swift Group - quite close.
Good to see provision of bricks for urban birds but clearer wording would ensure all these species get the help they need. Too often provision doesn't work out as wording was not sufficiently clear.
Swift bricks should be specified - they are a universal brick for a range of small bird species and are suitable for all types of development.
These should be in addition to bat boxes and installed following best practice guidance for location ad number BS42021 can help here.
