Site clearance and bird nesting?

[Dreadnaught]

1. I am wondering whether to clear my build plot of vegetation before bird-nesting season begins? Do the bird-nesting restrictions affect me as a self-builder?
2. Is this quote sensible to clear my plot: £120, plus £80 to remove 300kg of vegetative waste?
3. if I asked that the vegetative waste be left on site to be taken later when the groundworkers start would I then open myself to hedgehog inspections of the vegetative mound when disposal time arrives?

 

I hope to start the build in late spring or summer. 

The plot is 20m x 20m.

To be cleared are two small trees (trunk diameter less than 20cm, no TPOs) and a selection of assorted bushes. No hedges. Nothing that should cause neighbours' pens to twitch.

Very cheap - get on with it ..!

 

and yes, the rules apply so no hedgerow removal from March to August so get on with it now.

I love BuildHub! Not only is it a source of great knowledge… but it guards against any risk of procrastination. 

 

Thanks guys, I will get right on it!
