3 )You are advised to note the comments of the Ecology Officer as set out below. As buildings on site are to be converted it would be advisable to have them assessed for bat and bird interest to avoid the development resulting in harm to a protected species. The same applies to any trees which may be removed. The site lies in the Greensand Ridge Nature Improvement Area and the NPPF calls for development to deliver a net gain for biodiversity and opportunities for enhancement, for example the inclusion of integrated bat and bird bricks, are detailed in the CBC Design Guide. Where roofing work or timber treatment is to be undertaken it is the legal responsibility of the contractor to check for bats. If bats are found during the course of any work to buildings or trees where not previously anticipated, then works should immediately stop and Natural England notified for appropriate advice.You are advised to note the comments of the Ecology Officer as set out below.
