The habitats on site are suitable for hedgehog which is a Priority Species and UDP Policy NC7 applies. The following reasonable avoidance measures should be put in place to ensure that there are no adverse effects on them:

·  A pre-commencement check for hedgehog;

·  All trenches and excavations should have a means of escape (e.g. a ramp);

·  Any exposed open pipe systems should be capped to prevent mammals gaining access; and

·  Appropriate storage of materials to ensure that mammals do not use them

There are habitats on site suitable for use by amphibians. The following reasonable avoidance measures should be put in place to ensure that there are no adverse effects on them:

·  Existing vegetation on the site will be gradually cut and removed to encourage any amphibians present to move away from the affected areas;

·  The working area, together with any storage areas, will be kept clear of debris, and any stored materials will be kept off the ground on pallets so as to prevent amphibians from seeking shelter or protection within them; and

·  Any open excavations (e.g. foundations / footings / service trenches etc) will be covered with plywood sheeting (or similar) at the end of each working day. The edges of these sheets will be covered with a thick layer of topsoil or similar) to prevent amphibians from seeking shelter beneath them. Any excavation must be in-filled and made good to ground level with compacted stone or similar at the earliest opportunity, so as to remove any hazard to amphibians.

The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until a detailed scheme for landscaping has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall comprise of a plan and specification and demonstrate:
