Sod hedge removal and ecology
The portions of sod hedge to be removed within the site must be removed prior to the end of October to reduce the risk of harm to any lizards on the site. Such works must be overseen by a qualified ecologist and continued liaison with Department of Environment Food & Agriculture Wildlife Division is encouraged. The material resulting from the removal of any hedgerows within the site must be retained for use in the construction of new Manx sod hedging between the new buildings and the western perimeter of the site. Details of this where this is not shown on the approved drawings must be approved by the Planning Authority prior to the removal of any hedging.
