5. Note to Applicant: During development and any related works, a precautionary working method shall be used to prevent harm to wildlife that could be using this site. This shall include: - All building materials must 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. - Any chemicals and fuels must be stored carefully and away from potential wildlife habitat. - Any piles of wood chips must be dismantled by hand shovelling before the start of works. - If any animals are found, they must be allowed to move to a place of safety on their own and should not be handled. In the unlikely event that any great crested newts are found on site all work must stop and Natural England must be called. - The applicant is reminded that, under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to (amongst other things): deliberately capture, disturb, injure, or kill great crested newts; damage or destroy a breeding or resting place; intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a resting or sheltering place. Planning permission for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this legislation. Should great crested newts be found at any stage of the development works, then all works should cease, and a professional and/or suitably qualified and experienced ecologist (or Natural England) should be contacted for advice on any special precautions before continuing, including the need for a licence.
