4. Note to Applicant: Any further site clearance and demolition of the garage must be done outside of bird nesting season (i.e. done between September and February to avoid nesting season from March to August) or immediately after a check for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist
5. Note to Applicant: Clearance of building materials and vegetation should be done by hand not by machine. No fires should be lit on site. If hedgehogs or stag beetles are found on site, they should not be handled but be left to move away to a place of safety on their own.
6. 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
7. Note to Applicant: Any closed board fencing must include at least 2 gaps on each side (13x 13 cm minimum) to allow free passage of hedgehogs through the site.
8. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements will be required. A bat brick and a swift brick may be appropriate for this building. 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.
