Compliance with Condition 20 of 21/01720/CON -That no development shall commence unless and until an assessment on sand martin nesting colonies, undertaken by a suitably qualified professional, has been carried out across the site, with a report submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the sand martin nesting colony shall be surveyed using the appropriate bird monitoring methodology which would enable the number for apparently occupied burrows/nests (AON) to be determined together with the number of unoccupied burrows. The submitted report shall provide mapping of the colonies. Where the report concludes that it would not be possible to retain the existing sand martin nesting colony, then compensatory nesting bank shall be provided for at least an equivalent colony size. Any compensatory nesting bank shall be agreed in writing by the Planning Authority before any works are undertaken on the site which could disturb the existing sand martin nesting colony.
