Nature conservation protection under UK 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/nesting season, March to August 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.
