How far down the planning route are you?  If you havent submitted yet, then in all honesty get the land cleared as @joe90 says, you aren't doing anything other than cutting the grass and tidying up!  if you make a noise and upset the Wildlife and it goes on a temporary holiday, it'll come back, don't worry about that!  What you don't want is wildlife getting in your way, costing you money and delaying you and your journey!  That money will be better spent later on, on the things you want rather than paying for some buggers pcp payment on their new land rover.  It's all good doing the right things, but in all honesty when you are building every sod and their pal wants their palms crossing with silver just for ticking a box.  There's definitely a reason @ToughButterCup 's farmers act like they do.

Planning hasn’t been submitted yet. We’ve decided to go ahead with the bat survey(s) on the main house, so we can get the application submitted sooner rather than later. Once that’s done, we’ll get moving on the land clearance.
