4. Note to Applicant: In the unlikely event of any bats being found during demolition or construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be called. 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
5. Note to Applicant: Breeding bird season is generally between March and August inclusive. Vegetation removal and removal of the shed to facilitate construction must be done outside this time period or only within 24 hours after a nesting bird check by a suitably qualified ecologist. If evidence of an active bird’s nest is found during construction, a 5 m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the chicks have fledged and left the nest.
6. Note to Applicant: Any hedgehogs found on site must be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own. Excavations and open pipes must be covered or fitted with a small mammal escape ramp (roughened slanted board) at night.
7. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements have been recommended. Built in bat and swift nest bricks/boxes are preferred. Swift boxes can be used by other species if swifts are not using them. Bee bricks, log and brushwood piles and planting native species which produce fruit and seeds for pollinators are also recommended. 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.
