Badger, hedgehog and other small animals (including measures to be employed to avoid these species becoming trapped in excavations) 2. Nesting birds (including vegetation clearance timings and/or arrangements for ecological supervision) The Construction Method Statement shall include the procedure to be followed in each case if a protected species is found on site. The approved Construction Method Statement shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the construction period strictly in accordance with the approved details.
REASON: To avoid impacts on protected species during construction, in line with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan
