6.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- The installation of the bird and bat boxes should be supervised by a suitably experienced and qualified ecologist or, the exact location of the boxes is shown on the architectural plans to avoid incorrect placement. A deflector board is recommend where boxes are placed above windows (to deflect faeces). The location of hedgehog gaps should be shown on site plans for clarity during placement. The updated PEA report notes habitats onsite are of moderate ecological value comprising a mixture of grassland, tall vegetation, scrub and deciduous woodland (identified as Priority Habitat under the NERC Act 2006). The site also has species poor intact hedges along the entrance and driveway which are also a priority habitat (but not classed as 'important' under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997). Habitat was considered suitable for reptiles and great crested newts. Only one pond was accessible, which was dry at the time of the surveys. No evidence of use by badgers was found.The closest statutory protected sites (Trinity Broad SSSI, The Broads SAC & National Park), is located approximately 230m west and designated for its nutrient-rich lakes with an assemblage of rare plants. The applicant is reminded that nesting birds and species such as reptiles are protected by law and planning consent does not provide a defence against prosecution. We encourage the applicant to undertake a reptile survey in order to determine mitigation requirements . in addition measures to avoid/minimise impacts during site clearance (provided within the PEA) should also be undertaken to ensure compliance with best practice and thus avoid/minimise the risk of harming animals and birds (causing an offence under wildlife legislation) Occasionally European protected species, such as great crested newts, can be found during the course of development even when the site appears unlikely to support them or after an ecological survey has found no previous evidence of them. In the event that this occurs, it is advised that the developer stops work immediately and seeks the advice of a suitability qualified ecological consultant.
7.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner.
