Prior to  any further vegetative clearance, this will be carried out in strict accordance with the following procedure, either: In October when dormice are still active but avoiding the breeding and hibernation seasons.

The results will be communicated to the Local Planning Authority by the licensed dormouse ecologist within 1 week; or Between December and March only, when dormice are hibernating at ground level, under the supervision of a licensed dormouse ecologist. The hedgerow, scrub and/or trees will be cut down to a height of 30cm above ground level using hand tools.  The remaining stumps and roots will be left until the following mid-April / May before final clearance to allow any dormouse coming out of hibernation to disperse to suitable adjacent habitat. No vegetative clearance will be permitted between June and September inclusive when females have dependent young. Written confirmation of the operations will be submitted to the Local Planning Authority by a licensed dormouse ecologist within one week of the work.
