> Barn conversion |
Ecological assessment and appropriate surveys of the building and adjacent ponds were undertaken on behalf of the owner, to produce a report to assist a planning application for conversion of the barn to residential use. The barn was sold, and the new client wished to develop the building into his family home.
A European Protected Species Derogation Licence application for great crested newts was made to Natural England and a licence obtained for the client. To ensure that the application was successful and that the client remained within the law a detailed works schedule, mitigation and enhancement proposals (such as a temporary newt fence, pond management, landscaping and construction of a hibernaculum), an ecological clerk of works programme (to supervise certain aspects of the work) and a post-development monitoring programme were provided.
To comply with planning conditions, advice was given to the client to enable suitable provision for bats and nesting birds, including barn owl within the property.
Location: Herefordshire / Worcestershire border
