The measures shall include replacement hedgerow planting and new native rich planting, such as wildflower and grass mixes. The approved measures shall be implemented no later than the end of the first planting season following formation of the access hereby approved.

The hedgerow shall be removed in accordance with the approved RAMMS. An Ecological Clerk of Works will be present during the removal of the hedgerow if it is undertaken in nesting season to ensure that no harm to nesting birds, reptiles, and amphibians occur during works.

Reason: In the interest of the strict protection of European protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

The hours of working shall be limited to between 07.00-19.00 on Mondays to Sundays. Reason: To safeguard local residents from noise and disturbance during unsocial hours.
