Hazel dormice have been found on KS1 site, existing hedgerows and woodland providing essential food and connectivity for the species. Loss or disturbance could threaten them, and they are protected under the Habitats Regulations. Evidence of badger activity indicates KS1 is part of their normal territory, and the development will severely disrupt their foraging and movement routes. There is considerable local evidence of otters present at the KS1 site (fresh footprints and recently a dead otter by Cwm Ciddy). Pollution, drainage, and lighting will affect their habitat and movement. Any development introduces an unavoidable risk of degrading riparian habitat.
