Additional Note On Conditions

Vegetation removal will take place outside of the nesting season.

Due to the Ecosystem Policy Team (DEFA) beliefs that there is potential for common lizards and frogs on site and therefore the applicants is recommend to undertaken the following;

Prior to work on the grassland, grass should be cut to a height of no less than 10cm. This should be done from the inside out to allow any lizards or frogs to relocate to suitable adjacent habitat. The grassland should then be left for 24 hours, before any work commences, to allow any lizards and frogs to relocate.

Cutting should be done on warm sunny days (12oC + ambient temperature) during the active season (April to September) but avoiding the vulnerable period of July and August, when lizards may have young.

Any holes or trenches which are left open overnight should have a suitable means of escape for any frogs that may enter them.

Work to remove any hedgebanks must be done in the active season for lizards. Vegetation should be cleared as outlined above, prior to removal of hedgebanks.

If any lizards or frogs are found during works, work must stop immediately and advice sought from the DEFA Ecosystem Policy Team (651577).
