| 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. |
| Worcestershire County Council currently uses Modeshift STARS for the submission, monitoring and review of Educational site Travel Plans. It is expected that prior to occupation, the Travel Plan will achieve Approved level accreditation and Good level accreditation within 12 months. Following this, the Good level will be maintained for a minimum period of five years in line with the condition. It is recommended that the
developer makes early contact with Worcestershire County Council’s Travel Planning Officer to register onto the Modeshift STARS site and discuss the accreditation requirements. |
| It is expected that contractors are registered with the Considerate Constructors scheme and comply with the code of conduct in full, but particular reference is made to "respecting the community" this says:
Constructors should give utmost consideration to their impact on neighbours and the public
• Informing, respecting and showing courtesy to those affected by the work;
• Minimising the impact of deliveries, parking and work on the public highway;
• Contributing to and supporting the local community and economy; and
• Working to create a positive and enduring impression and promoting the Code.
The CTMP should clearly identify how the principal contractor will engage with the local community; this should be tailored to local circumstances. Contractors should also confirm how they will manage any local concerns and complaints and provide an agreed Service Level Agreement for responding to said issues. Contractors should ensure that courtesy boards are provided, and information shared
with the local community relating to the timing of operations and contact details for a site coordinator in the event of any difficulties.
This does not offer any relief to obligations under existing Legislation.
