| Prior to the first use / occupation of the development hereby approved, either a bat box (e.g. Ibstock enclosed bat box, Habibat bat box, Schwegler Wall-mounted Bat Shelter 2FE, Schwegler 2F Bat Box) and/or a bird box ( e.g. sparrow terrace, Schwegler 1b, vivaro pro Seville, vivaro pro Barcelona) shall be installed within the land ownership of the site. There should be clear flight path to the box without any clutter directly in front of the entrance. Bat boxes should be installed at least 4m above ground-level, facing south (or southwest/southeast), and not placed above windows. Nest boxes for tits, sparrows or starlings should be fixed two to four metres up a tree or a wall. Open-fronted boxes for robins and wrens need to be low down, below 2m, well hidden in vegetation. Bird boxes should face between north and east to avoid strong sunlight.
Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDPR29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| 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 applicant must be aware of their obligations towards the public right of way as follows: No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without written consent (this includes laying concrete, tarmac or similar)
No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public.
Building materials must not be stored on the right of way.
Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the public's use of the right of way.
No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
