Each morning the footings need to be inspected for any animals that may a have fallen in overnight. •All garden and vegetated areas where construction activities are likely are to be kept short, so not to form habitat that could be suitable for reptile and small mammals, this works should be carried out when and if necessary. •If any bushes, hedges and or trees are to be removed/managed then this work must be done outside of the bird nesting season which runs between March and August.

6. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements are required in accordance with Local Plan policy DM11 and NPPF paragraphs 187d and 192b, and are recommended in the form of a bat box or a swift nest box on the existing 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. 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.
