7. Note to Applicant: To safeguard wildlife, the development must proceed in accordance with the following precautionary working method: • All building materials to be stored on hard standing or on pallets, as far as possible from hedgerows, scrub or potential habitat. • Any excavations must be covered at night or be fitted with a small animal escape ramp. • No fires can be lit on site. • Waste must be stored in a skip and not be allowed to accumulate in piles which could be used by wildlife.
