| Temporary fencing for the protection of all retained trees/hedges on site and trees outside the site whose Root Protection Areas fall within the site shall be erected in accordance with the details as specified submitted Tree Protection Plan hereby approved.
The temporary fencing shall be in strict accordance with BS 5837:2012 (Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction) and constructed before development of any type commences, including site clearance, demolition, materials delivery, vehicular movement and erection of site huts.
This protective fencing shall remain in place until the completion of development. Nothing should be stored or placed (including soil), nor shall any ground levels altered, within the fenced area. There shall be no burning of any material within 10 metres of the extent of the canopy of any retained tree/hedge.
Reason - To prevent existing trees/hedges from being damaged during construction work and to preserve the amenities of the locality. This is in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the Plan and maintained thereafter in accordance with the approved [Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP)] or [Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP)].
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
| Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2010, the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to deliberately kill or injure a bat, to disturb or destroy a bat roost or to obstruct an entrance to a roost. If evidence of bats is found, work should stop immediately and an ecological consultant contacted for advice on the best way to proceed. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant. |
| Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Nesting birds are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. The main nesting season lasts approximately from March to September, so work should take place outside these dates if at all possible.
However, birds can nest at any time and the site including any buildings should ideally be checked for their presence immediately before work starts. |
| The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless:
(a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and
(b) the planning authority has approved the plan.
Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A TCPA 1990 The biodiversity gain plan must include:
(a) information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat;
(b) the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
(c) the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
