Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
|
| (A) No development shall take place until a programme of archaeological work, including a Written Scheme of Investigation, has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The scheme shall include an assessment of significance and research questions; and:
1) The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording.
2) The programme for post investigation assessment.
3) Provision to be made for analysis of the site investigation and recording.
4) Provision to be made for publication and dissemination of the analysis and records of the site investigation.
5) Provision to be made for archive deposition of the analysis and records of the site investigation.
6) Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the Written Scheme of Investigation.
(B) The development shall not be occupied until the site investigation and post investigation assessment has been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) and the provision made for analysis, publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been secured.
Reason: In accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 200 and 211 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012 (as amended) and SWDP 6 & 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
|
| The development hereby permitted should not commence until drainage plans for the disposal of foul and surface water flows have been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, and
The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is first brought into use.
Planning Practice Guidance and section H of the Building Regulations 2010 detail surface water disposal hierarchy. The disposal of surface water by means of soakaways should be considered as the primary method. If this is not practical and there is no watercourse available as an alternative, other sustainable methods should also be explored.
If these are found unsuitable satisfactory evidence will need to be submitted before a discharge to the public sewerage system is considered. No surface water to enter the foul or combined water systems by any means.
Reason: To ensure that the development is provided with a satisfactory means of drainage as well as reduce the risk of creating or exacerbating a flooding problem and to minimise the risk of pollution.
|
| Before undertaking any work on site, all applicants must determine if Severn Trent has any assets in the vicinity of the proposed works. This can be done by accessing our records at www.digdat.co.uk
Severn Trent Water advise that even if our statutory records do not show any public sewers within the area you have specified, there may be sewers that have been recently adopted under The Transfer of Sewer Regulations 2011.
Our records indicate that there are no assets that may be affected by this proposal, however it is the duty of the site owner to confirm this is the case before any work takes place. Public sewers and Water mains have statutory protection and may not be built close to, or diverted without consent, consequently you must contact Severn Trent Water to discuss your proposals. Severn Trent will seek to assist you obtaining a solution which protects both the public sewer and the proposed building.
|
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the Plan and maintained thereafter in accordance with the approved Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP).
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule &A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
|
| Development shall not commence until evidence has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority (LPA) demonstrating that a conservation covenant or a section 106 agreement has been entered into to provide and control the long-term management, monitoring, and enhancement of biodiversity at the off-site habitat located at Martley Habitat Bank or other comparable facility within the LPA’s administrative area or the Severn and Avon Vales NCA. The conservation covenant or section 106 agreement shall ensure the delivery of the required biodiversity units for a minimum period of 30 years from the completion of the habitat enhancement works.
The submitted evidence shall include a copy of the conservation covenant or section 106 agreement demonstrating that the off-site habitat is managed in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan
Reason: To comply with the Biodiversity Gain (Town and Country Planning) (Modifications and Amendments) (England) Regulations 2024 and paragraphs 180 and 186 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
| The statutory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) condition set out at Section 13 of the Environment Act 2021 applies to this permission. This requires submission to and approval by the Local Planning Authority of a Biodiversity Gain Plan before development begins. As the proposed planting on site is not sufficient to deliver the required 10% BNG in area habitats, off-site provision will be required. A legal agreement under S106 of the Planning Act 1990 may be required to secure this provision for the next 30 years. The Planning Advisory Service has produced a recommended template for such agreements, specifically for use with off-site habitat banks as is proposed here.
The Biodiversity Gain Plan must include:
(a) information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat;
(b) the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
(c) the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
(d) any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development and the biodiversity and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development;
(e) any biodiversity credits purchased for the development; and
(f) any such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify.

The landscaping scheme shall include:-
(i) a plan(s) showing details of all existing trees and hedges on the application site. The plan should include, for each tree/hedge, the accurate position, canopy spread and species, together with an indication of any proposals for felling/pruning and any proposed changes in ground level, or other works to be carried out, within the canopy spread.
(ii) a plan(s) showing the layout of proposed tree, hedge and shrub planting and grass areas.
(iii) a schedule of proposed planting - indicating species, sizes at time of planting and numbers/densities of plants.
(iv) a written specification outlining cultivation and other operations associated with plant and grass establishment.
(v) a schedule of maintenance, including watering and the control of competitive weed growth for a minimum period of five years from first planting, and details of long-term after-care.
All planting and seeding/turfing shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details in the first planting and seeding/turfing seasons following the completion or first occupation/use of the development, whichever is the sooner.
