-Caution should be exercised dependant on the time of year in which the works are undertaken due to the likelihood of nesting birds in the surrounding hedgerows.

- The mature trees on site provide adequate roosting for bats and birds, and these should be retained.

Reason - To prevent existing trees/hedges from being damaged during construction work and to preserve the amenities of the locality. This is in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
