)The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled.
The Equality Act 2010 requires that service providers must think ahead and make reasonable adjustments to address barriers that impede disabled people.
These requirements are as follows:
Where a provision, criterion or practice puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to take reasonable steps to avoid that disadvantage;
Where a physical feature puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to avoid that disadvantage or adopt a reasonable alternative method of providing the service or exercising the function;
Where not providing an auxiliary aid puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to provide that auxiliary aid.
In doing this, it is a good idea to consider the range of disabilities that your actual or potential service users might have. You should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service, as this may make it too late to make the necessary adjustment.

)Any removal of trees, scrub or hedgerow should take place outside the bird breeding season of March to August inclusive. Should any such vegetation have to be removed during, or close to this period it should first be thoroughly assessed by a suitably experienced ecologist as to whether it is in use by nesting birds. Should nests be found, a suitable area of vegetation (no less than a 5m zone around the nest) should be left intact and undisturbed until it is confirmed that any young have fledged before works in that area proceed. This process should be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.
REASON: In order not to cause destruction of, or damage to, the nests of wild birds, their eggs and young. This corresponds to the protection afforded to them under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).Any removal of trees, scrub or hedgerow should take place outside the bird breeding season of March to August inclusive.
