14. Any building or vegetation removal should be undertaken outside of the nesting bird season (1st March to 31st August inclusive). If this timeframe cannot be avoided, a close inspection of the vegetation should be undertaken by a suitably qualified ecologist, immediately prior to the start of any work. All active nests will need to be retained and protected from disturbance with a 5m minimum buffer until after the young have fledged and left the nest. Additional precautions should be taken with machinery and noise levels when working close to any retained nests so as not to disturb any nearby nesting birds during construction works.

This should include the use of an endoscope to fully inspect the gaps within cavity walls. If the endoscope cannot view all of the available gaps, further surveys may be required. In the unlikely event that a bat is identified during this inspection, works must cease and advice be sought from qualified ecologist in conjunction with Natural England. Reason: To protect bats from harm during the undertaking of the development works.
