INFORMATIVE: Buildings of all ages and trees with suitable features (i.e. rot-holes, cracks, fissures) are frequently used by roosting bats. Bats and their ‘roost’ sites are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) making them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to disturb, obstruct or destroy a bat ‘roost’, even if the roost is only occasionally used. Where a bat ‘roost’ is present a licence may be necessary to carry out any works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 0208 261089. The applicant is advised that to ensure no bats are endangered during destructive works, the roof tiles should be removed carefully by hand. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately and Natural England must be contacted on 02080 261089 for advice on the best way to proceed. Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Birds can nest in many places including buildings, trees, shrubs dense ivy, and bramble/rose scrub. Nesting birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). The main nesting season, lasts approximately from March to September inclusive, so work should ideally take place outside these dates if at all possible. N.B birds can nest at any time, and the site should ideally be checked by a suitably qualified ecologist for their presence immediately before work starts, especially if during the breeding season.
INFORMATIVE: Where possible enhancements should be incorporated into the development to improve the habitats and opportunities for the local wildlife and increase biodiversity. Enhancements could include bat and bird boxes which may be used by a variety of species, native species planting and enhancement of existing of hedges and wild flower planting, habitat piles of rubble, logs and earth which can be used by reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates are also welcomed. The WCC Ecological Services (tel: 01926 418060) would be pleased to advise further if required.
INFORMATIVE: The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the biodiversity gain condition. In accordance with The Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Exemptions) Regulations 2024 this permission is considered to be one which will not require the approval of a biodiversity gain plan before development is begun because this is a householder application.
CONDITION 4: The windows located in the southeast elevation of the extension shall not be glazed or reglazed other than with obscure glass. REASON: To protect the residential amenity of neighbouring properties.
