Conditions:
Bats
- Roosting bats were not found in the survey and an EPS licence will not be required. However, due care should be taken during works and if any signs of bats are found work must stop immediately and the advice of a professional ecologist must be sought.
- Lighting of the works site must be minimised or avoided between dusk and dawn. Where lighting must be used it must be directional or hooded.
- External lighting should utilise Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) to ensure lighting is only switched on when required and should not be positioned on the northern elevation of the property.
- Internal lighting should seek to minimise light spill through windows.
- Bat boxes must not be illuminated.
Breeding Birds
- If possible works should take place outside of the breeding bird season (1st March - 31st August, inclusive).
- If this is not possible, contractors must be briefed about the possibility of nesting birds and any nests discovered should
be left undisturbed in-situ until it has reached its natural conclusion.
General Wildlife
- Best practice must be followed at all times in line with the recommendations set out in the ecological assessment.
- Works must be restricted to daylight hours to prevent any potential impacts to nocturnal and crepuscular species and night lighting must be minimised.
- Any trenches or holes which will be left overnight should be fully covered or have a wooden plank placed in them in such a way that any wildlife that falls in can climb out safely. Alternatively, one end of the trench should be sloped or stepped to allow animals to climb out.
- Materials bought to the site for the construction works should be kept off the ground on pallets so as to prevent small animals seeking refuge within them and coming to harm.
- Himalayan balsam is present on the Bure and has been found in Coltishall, therefore the biosecurity 'Check, Clean, Dry' protocol must be adhered to at all times during the development.
Enhancements:
- One bat box to be installed at least 4-5m from the ground on an external building wall. It must be on an aspect that receives sun exposure for at least part of the day (south/west/east facing) and where possible face into boundary habitats (i.e: hedgerow, trees, river). The bat box must not be illuminated or directly adjacent to external lighting. Suitable boxes include:
- Beaumaris woodstone bat box
- Greenwoods Ecohabitats boxSchwegler 2FE
- Ibstock Enclosed Bat Box 'C'
- Ibstock Enclosed Bat Box 'B'
- Habibat bat box
- One WoodStone House Sparrow Nest Box to be positioned on a suitable wall, two metres or more above the ground. Avoid South & West facing walls.
- One No. 11 Woodcrete (Schwegler) House Martin Terrace to be installed under the eaves on sheltered external walls of buildings at a minimum height of 2m above the ground

Thank you for the re-consultation on the above application. The application has been amended to provide a reduced
boundary wall and a flat roof instead of a cat slide below the second dormer.
I would have no objection to these proposed amendments as they ensure the previous roofline can still be read, and
help retain the articulation of the terrace. My previous comments remain as follows, it is considered the full length
window on the lhs, first floor, river elevation should be reduced to the same length as existing (with timber cladding
below) to match the neighbouring dwelling to the immediate right and ensure the retention of some repeating features
that help tie the terrace together. I do appreciate what the agent is saying about the existence of full glazing in the
Conservation Area however this property has a more traditional feel and I think some features of the previous should
remain to retain some common features with elements on this terrace and allow for the mix in materials to be retained
(cladding below). The retention of the cladding also has the additional benefit of breaking up the amount of glazing
proposed to ensure the proposal is less visually prominent. Materials are proposed to match which is supported and
should be conditioned to ensure are utilised as there would be a concern with the use of substandard materials such as
plastic or composite cladding in this part of the Conservation Area. Although it is acknowledged that the existing
windows are upvc it would be preferable if the replacements and new windows are either aluminium or timber where a
much more simpler and slimmer profile can be achieved due to the limitations of the manufacturing process of upvc.
Details of the windows and doors, sofits, facias, barge boards and guttering (large scale sections, materials and
treatments) should be agreed prior to determination or conditioned.

I hope the above has been helpful.

Hi Jack,
Thank you for the consultation on the above application. The site sits within a prominent location within Colishall's Conservation Area. The design submitted has largely incorporated the design and heritage advice given at pre-app stage which is welcomed. It is the articulation of the terrace which contributes to its character and mix of traditional materials. The proposed extensions have been designed to mimic and retain the articulation with setback elements and mix of materials and therefore considered appropriate. It is considered the full length window on the lhs, first floor, river elevation should be reduced to the same length as existing (with timber cladding below) to match the neighbouring dwelling to the immediate right and ensure the retention of some repeating features that help tie the terrace together. Materials are proposed to match which is supported and should be conditioned to ensure are utilised as there would be a concern with the use of substandard materials such as plastic or composite cladding in this part of the Conservation Area. Although it is acknowledged that the existing windows are upvc it would be preferable if the replacements and new windows are either aluminium or timber where a much more simpler and slimmer profile can be achieved due to the limitations of the manufacturing process of upvc. Details of the windows and doors, sofits, facias, barge boards and guttering (large scale sections, materials and treatments) should be agreed prior to determination or conditioned.

The replacement of the lean-to tiled roof would detract from the design and therefore a flat zinc roof is unlikely to be supported.
