Prior to completion, a 'lighting design for biodiversity' shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The design shall show how and where external lighting will be installed (including through the provision of technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent species using their territory or having access to their resting places. All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the design, and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the design. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the local planning authority. Reason: In the interests of the Favourable Conservation Status of populations of European and UK protected species and in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan

No removal of hedgerows, trees or shrubs shall take place between 1st March and 31st August inclusive, unless a competent ecologist has undertaken a careful, detailed check of vegetation for active birds' nests immediately before the vegetation is cleared and provided written confirmation that no birds will be harmed and/or that there are appropriate measures in place to protect nesting bird interest on site. Any such written confirmation should be submitted to the local planning authority by the ecologist. Reason: In the interests of nesting wild birds and in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.

Any vegetation in the construction area should initially be reduced to a height of 10 centimetres above ground level by hand, brashings and cuttings removed and left for a minimum period of 48 hours of warm suitable weather [limited rain and wind, with temperatures of 10°C or above] before clearing to minimise the risk of harming/killing any reptiles that may be present and to encourage their movement onto adjoining land in the active period. Any features such as brash piles which potentially afford resting places for reptiles will be dismantled by hand by a competent ecologist between April and September and any individuals found translocated to a safe location. A written statement shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority by the ecologist within one week of the work taking place. Reason: in the interest of UK protected species and in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.
