7. Note to Applicant: Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development including any tree work must be removed outside of bird nesting season (which is between the beginning of March and the end of August). If this is not possible then vegetation can be cleared only after being checked for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist up to 24 hours before the start of works. If any active nests are found, work must stop, and a 5 m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the birds have fledged and left the nest.

This method shall include: 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 rampNo 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. Any chemicals and fuels must be stored carefully and away from potential wildlife habitat.Any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own.
9. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements will be required in addition to the required mitigation in accord with Local Plan policy DM 11 and NPPF (December 2024) paragraphs 187d and 192 b. This could include a swift nest box or planting for pollinators (https://www.rhs.org.uk/science/conservation-biodiversity/wildlife/plants-for-pollinators). 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. (https://www.swiftconservation.org/Nestboxes%26Attraction.htm).
