Dear
Mike
Heron
Park School – Report Issue
Ecological
Mitigation Measures - Planning Conditions
Please
find attached a digital PDF copy of our updated Ecological Mitigation Measures
Report.
Following
our discussion with Kate Cole - Ecologist ESCC we have confirmed the following
ecological planning conditions;
Planning Condition
No. 3 – Destructive Search for Reptiles and Amphibians supervised by a
Suitably Qualified Ecologist;
A Destructive
Search of the Grassland / Habitat adjacent to the drain was undertaken on the
28 June 2011 prior to the commencement of development under the supervision of
an experienced Ecologist; Mr Mark Vivian, and no Protected Species of Reptiles
or Amphibians were found to be present. The habitat was considered to be
sub-optimal for Reptiles and Amphibians being predominantly short cut
grass.
Planning Condition
No. 11 – Shed and Footpath Removal - Destructive Search for Reptiles and
Amphibians supervised by a Suitably Qualified Ecologist;
The vegetation
surrounding the existing shed and footpath was also subject to a Destructive
Search on the 28 June 2011, and no protected species of Reptiles or Amphibian
were found to be present in this area. The Shed and Footpath, due to the
surrounding vegetation were retained in position until late September 2011
when the active Bird nesting season was considered to be past. The shed
and footpath were removed in late September 2011.
Planning Condition
No. 12 – Bats – Inspection of Trees with Bat Interest by a Suitably Qualified
Ecologist;
A Bat Roost
Assessment of the existing trees requiring Tree Surgery works was undertaken
by an experienced Bat Surveyor on the 28 June 2011 prior to the commencement
of tree surgery works under the supervision of an experienced Ecologist.
Within the branches of the existing Willow tree overhanging the development
site, proposed to be crown-reduced, there were no features of interest for
Roosting Bats found to be present, and the Tree Surgery works could proceed
unhindered.
Planning Condition
No. 13 – Details of Measures to Enhance the Ecological Interest of the
Site.
Measures to enhance
the Ecological Interest within the site have been included within the attached
report.
The
report is issued ‘For Approval’. Please contact me should you have any
comments.
Please
contact me should you require any further
information.
Kind
regards,
