The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until measures for the enhancement and protection of biodiversity have been installed in accordance with details that have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such enhancement measures shall include:- • Provision will be made for nesting swallows, for example within a structure providing shelter, such as an open fronted log store or bespoke box attached to the wall, and with the provision of artificial two artificial nest cups within, at a height above 3m. The ideal position for bird boxes is north facing (followed by north-east, and then east if no other aspects are possible. Under no circumstances should south or west elevations be used, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart.• A Beaumaris Woodstone maxi bat box or similar mounted at least 4m above ground on either the south or west facing elevations, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart.• Planting of 1x high nectar shrub such as buddleia, lavenders, honeysuckle or roses (although this list is not exhaustive), which should appeal to night-flying moths (a key food source for bats). The Royal Horticultural Society guide, 'RHS Perfect for Pollinators, www.rhs.org.uk/perfectforpollinators' provides a list of suitable plants both native and non-native plants. Trees and shrubs must be sourced from a reputable UK nursery. If not UK grown, plants must have spent at least one full growing season on a UK nursery and have been subjected to a full pest and disease programme Once implemented such measures shall be retained at all times thereafter unless otherwise agreed otherwise in writing by the local planning authority. Reason: To safeguard and promote biodiversity.
