Please ensure that the boxes are appropriately sited and not lit at night in the case of bat boxes. Further advice and information can be obtained from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). WCC Ecological Services (tel: 01926 418060) would be pleased to advise further if required, in particular regarding which type of boxes to use.
- 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.
- CONDITION 1: The development to which this permission relates must not be begun later than the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
