No scrub clearance, hedgerow removal or vegetation management is to take place during the period 1 March to 31 August inclusive.

The following measures to protect common lizard will be employed during the implementation of this permission:

• Existing vegetation on the site will be gradually cut and removed under ecological supervision to encourage any reptiles 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 reptiles 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 reptiles 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 reptiles.

 

 

Before any construction commences, details of materials to be used in the external construction of this development shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved materials shall then be used in the construction of the development.
