Site Location Plan

| The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations set out in the Updated Ecological Survey report carried out by Chelmarsh RG Dave Fulton dated 28 May 2024 and submitted with this application. In particular:
- A cautionary approach is advised in relation to bats. Should any bat be discovered during works, work should stop immediately, and the Bat Conservation Trust should be notified for advice on how to proceed.
- As one active Barn Swallow nest was found in Barn A work in this barn should be delayed until young have fledged, this may be as late as end of September as Swallows are generally double brooded.
- Any trenches dug for foundations and left open overnight should be provided with some means of escape in case hedgehogs, or other small creatures fall in overnight. This can be as simple as leaving an old scaffold plank along one inside edge to act as an escape ramp. All trenches should be checked each morning before work commences in case any creatures have become trapped overnight. Any trapped creatures should be released to a place of safety.
Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
