Tel 01624 685950 intentionally or recklessly disturb any wild bird listed on Schedule 1 while it is nest building, or at a nest containing eggs or young, or disturb the dependentyoung of such a bird. The maximum penalty that can be imposed - in respect of a single bird, nest or egg - is a fine up to £10,000. The bird nesting season is usually between late February and late August or late September in the case of swallows or house martins. Additionally, pigeons have been known to nest year-round should conditions be suitable. Should the applicant not obtain the services of an ecologist, contrary to our advice, then they must undertake thorough checks for bats and birds prior to the demolition of the building. Demolition without thorough checks would be considered reckless. The presence of bats and birds will not stop the demolition from taking place, but provision must be made for their ongoing protection. Mitigation should also be provided for the loss of any roosting or nesting space. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The planning committee deemed the proposed application for a replacement dwelling in the countryside would meet the exception given in Housing Policy 14 for innovative and modern design that is of high quality. Given its setting and the proposed land management would not result in adverse visual impact upon the countryside and would inadvertantly comply with Environmental Policy 1 of the Strategic Plan (2016).
