Informative(s) 01 The applicant / developer is advised to contact the Canal & River Trust’s Work Engineering Team on 0303 040 4040 in order to ensure that any necessary consents are obtained and that the works would comply with the Trust’s “Code of Practice for Works affecting the Canal & River Trust”. 02 Prior to the commencement of development a design for the multi-species fish passage shall be submitted to and approved by the Environment Agency, via the National Fish Pass Advisory Panel. Please click the link below showing the procedure for fish pass design approval. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fish-pass-approval 03 Nature conservation protection under UK and EU legislation is irrespective of the planning system and the applicant should therefore ensure that any activity undertaken, regardless of the need for any planning consent, complies with the appropriate wildlife legislation. If any protected species are found on the site then work should halt immediately and an appropriately qualified ecologist should be consulted. For definitive information primary legislative sources should be consulted. Furthermore, vegetation removal should be undertaken outside of the bird breeding season, March to September inclusive. If any clearance work is to be carried out within this period, a nest search by a suitably qualified ecologist should be undertaken immediately preceding the works. If any active nests are present, work which may cause destruction of nests or, disturbance to the resident birds must cease until the young have fledged. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT Whilst the applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority, the proposals were in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and did not require any alterations or modification.
