| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| I write further to your notification application of the proposal for demolition. Based upon the information provided with your application (listed below), I hereby confirm the Council's determination that prior approval is not required as to the method of demolition and any proposed restoration of the site:- - Location Plan - Preliminary Roost Assessment- Focus Environmental Consultants- 23 March 2026 - Demolition Survey (with MA only)- Shropshire Asbestos Services. Issue No: 1, Issue Date: 20 Mar 2026 - Demolition Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan- Dempsey Construction LTD- 17/03/2026 |
| The applicant should be aware that demolition must be carried out within 5 years of the date of this decision. |
| 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 2017 (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to damage or destroy a roost (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time), to deliberately kill or injure a bat, disturb a bat in its roost, or intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under these acts. Any removal of roof and wall coverings including roof tiles, slates, hanging tiles, timber boarding, soffit boxes and facia boards shall be carried out carefully by hand. If bats or any sign of bats such as an accumulation of droppings are encountered at any stage of work, work must cease immediately and advice sought from an appropriately licenced bat ecologist on how to proceed lawfully. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant. |
| The demolition shall take place in accordance with the following plans and documents - - Location Plan - Preliminary Roost Assessment- Focus Environmental Consultants- 23 March 2026 - Demolition Survey (with MA only)- Shropshire Asbestos Services. Issue No: 1, Issue Date: 20 Mar 2026 - Demolition Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan- Dempsey Construction LTD- 17/03/2026 |
| The applicant and any appointed contractors are reminded of their legal responsibilities under the Water Resources Act 1991 and the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016. In particular, care must be taken during any demolition, remediation, or construction works to prevent the pollution or contamination of controlled waters, including groundwater and nearby watercourses. Appropriate mitigation measures should be implemented throughout the course of the works to safeguard water quality. |
| The applicant is advised that the proposed site restoration works are likely to require planning permission. This is because the works would constitute “development” as defined under Section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), insofar as they involve building operations and engineering activities, and because permitted development rights do not exist for the proposed works. The applicant should seek planning permission from the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of any such works. |
