The applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access.

It is understood that there may be a badger sett in the earth bank adjacent to Canada Bank.

The applicant is advised to seek guidance on this matter from Natural England and the potential requirement for a license to either relocate/protect the sett, or work within a certain distance of it.
