5. 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 informed. 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. A precautionary working method must be used to prevent harm to wildlife that could be using this site. It should include: All building materials to be stored on hard standing or on pallets, as far as possible from hedgerows, scrub or potential habitat. Clearance of the old shed and vegetation surrounding it must be done by hand, and any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own. If any active bird 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. 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. Biodiversity enhancements will be required in accordance with Local Plan policy DM 11 and NPPF (December 2024) paragraphs 187d and 192 b. A bat box and a swift nest box 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.
