7. Note to Applicant: Any trees or shrubs that might support nesting birds must be removed outside of nesting bird season which is from March through August. In the unlikely event of any bats being found during demolition or construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be informed. Additional information is available on the Bat Conservation Trust website at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works. A precautionary working method statement for hedgehogs will be required. This will include keeping any piles of materials either on hard standing or raised on pallets and avoiding the accumulation of piles of vegetation on site where hedgehogs could shelter under them. Any excavations and open pipes must be covered at night or fitted with small mammal escape ramps (rough slanted boards) to prevent entrapment. No fires should be lit on site. Biodiversity enhancements are required. Bat bricks/boxes and swift bricks/boxes would be appropriate additions to the building. Built-in roost/nest sites are preferable to externally mounted boxes as they do not fall off and do not require maintenance. Landscaping should include flowering and fruiting plants and shrubs rather than conifers. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4 m above the ground, away from artificial light sources, sheltered from strong winds and exposed to the sun for part of the day, facing south, south-east or south-west. (https://www.bats.org.uk › our-work › putting-up-your-box) Swift nest boxes are best positioned under the eaves or on walls facing north, northeast, or north-west out of direct sunlight, five metres above the ground, with clear adjacent airspace so swifts can access them in a high-speed direct flight.
