In particular: - Production of a Non-licensed Bat Precautionary Working Method Statement (PWMS) that will include the following: o Toolbox talk to contractors by a licensed ecologist prior to works; o Demarcating the location of Roost A1 and Roost B1, as appropriate; o Avoiding obstruction of flight lines to the roosts with scaffolding through appropriate design and erection in consultation with an ecologist; o Basic preventative measures to control noise, dust, vibration; o and no lighting during the hours of darkness during the construction phase. - Working methods as set out in section 2.4 of the Reptile Precautionary Working Method Statement (August 2024) will be implemented within the construction zone of the proposed garage. - The Sparrow Nest Box shall be installed on the western elevation of the house. Reason: To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and for the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 and SWDPR27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and paragraphs 180 and 186 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023); and to ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017)

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.

In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: - seeking further information following receipt of the application - seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application - considering the imposition of conditions. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
