This should detail a strategy to mitigate the archaeological impact of the proposed development. The development, and any archaeological fieldwork, post-excavation analysis, publication of results and archive deposition detailed in the approved documents, shall be undertaken in accordance with those documents. REASON: In the interest of archaeology.
- CONDITION 7: Supervised hand strip The development hereby permitted shall be undertaken in the presence of a competent ecologist appointed by the applicant to supervise all destructive works to the roof of the main dwellinghouse building and associated structures to be demolished/affected. All roofing material is to be removed carefully by hand. Appropriate precautions must be taken in case bats are found, including the erection of at least one bat box on a suitable tree or building. Should evidence of bats be found during this operation, then work must cease immediately while Natural England and WCC Ecological Services are consulted for further advice. Any subsequent survey work, recommendations or remedial works will be implemented within the timescales agreed between the bat worker and the Local Authority Ecologist/Natural England. Notwithstanding any requirement for remedial work or otherwise, the competent ecologist's report (to include any evidence found of presence/absence) shall be submitted to the local planning authority within 1 month following completion of the supervised works summarising the findings. *please note - to discharge the above condition a competent ecologists report must be submitted to and approved by the local planning authority.
