recommend checks on existing dwelling and integrated swift nest brick/box on new extension

DEFA Biodiversity
Conditional No Objection"We advise that through checks for nesting birds must be undertaken prior to works commencing. If nesting birds are found then the works must stop immediately and advice be obtained from the DEFA Ecosystem Policy Team."; "We also strongly recommend that an integrated swift nest brick/box is erected on the new extension, as high up as possible under the eaves, but not above windows or doors."; "Because a swift box was a recommendation for enhancement, rather than mitigation for the loss of a nest site and therefore I wasn’t requesting it as a condition on approval"
Conditions requested: thorough checks for nesting birds must be undertaken prior to works commencing. If nesting birds are found then the works must stop immediately and advice be obtained from the DEFA Ecosystem Policy Team. Works may then only recommence once the birds have finished nesting and the young have fledged
