Demolition strategy

Preparatory works are planned to take place in October. This includes site clearance and installation of hoarding to the front of the site. Access for these initial works will be to the south of the site.

Scaffolding will also be installed within the building to enable manual inspection of the internal features within the roof that could have the potential for bats. This work will be undertaken under the supervision of a bat licensed ecologist. 

If a bat is found to be present, works will cease in that location and continue elsewhere with the bat allowed to disperse naturally overnight. If deemed necessary, the bat may be recovered by hand under the advice of the bat licensed ecologist for release in the evening.

Demolition of the building is planned to start from the end of October and will take approximately 7 weeks. Access for the main works will be via Tramway Road.

Natural England licences are being obtained in relation to the potential for bats and badgers on the site. The works will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of these licences. The project ecologist will work closely with the demolition contractor throughout the duration of the works.
