Description	No redevelopment of the building shall take place shall take place (including any ground works or site clearance) until a method statement for works relating to all parts of the building identified as having a low risk of a bat roost (i.e. roofs and gaps/crevices) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The content of the method statement shall include: a) A pre-commencement toolbox talk to be delivered by the licenced ecologist to the contractors in order to explain the potential presence of bats, their legal protection, roles and responsibilities, the proposed method of working, basic identification of bats and procedures should bats or evidence of bats be found. b) The licensed ecologist will carry out a detailed search for roosting bats immediately prior to the work. c) In the unlikely event that a bat is found, the roost is to be re-covered and all work potentially affecting the roost is to be halted. A European Protected Species licence is to be applied for and subsequently granted before the work can proceed. d) If a bat is likely to be harmed if not removed from the building, it will be captured by the ecologist whom will assess the condition of the bat before transferring to a mammal tank. The works shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the approved details and any proposed deviation from this should be subject to early consultation with the LPA.	Facts
