Condition Details / Information Notes
Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission, the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans/drawings– Location Plan- Fetterlocks. Fetterlocks Farm- Block Plan, 051/19/AC, 052/19/AC, 053/19/AC, 054/19/AC, 055/19/AC- Revision 2 and 056/19/AC- Revision 1. Reason: To define the permission.
Prior to the first occupation of the dwelling hereby approved, an area shall be laid out within the curtilage of the property for the parking of 2 cars and this area shall be properly consolidated, surfaced and drained in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This area shall not thereafter be used for any other purpose than the parking of vehicles. Reason: In order to ensure highway safety and the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway in accordance with Policy SWDP 4 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016), Worcestershire County Council Standing Advice on Small Scale Development proposals that impact the Highway (2023) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
Prior to the first occupation of the dwelling hereby approved secure parking for three bicycles that complies with the Council’s standards shall be provided within the curtilage of the dwelling and these facilities shall thereafter be retained for the parking of cycles only. Reason: In order to promote the use of sustainable travel modes in accordance with Policy SWDP 4 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016), Worcestershire County Council Standing Advice on Small Scale Development proposals that impact the Highway (2023) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported immediately to the Local Planning Authority. The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation. No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with: 1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with the Environment Agency's 'Land Contamination: Risk Management' guidance and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place. 2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. 3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 4. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site. Reason: To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors, in accordance with Policy SWDP 31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
Before the first occupation of the dwelling hereby permitted a plan indicating the positions, design, materials and type of boundary treatment to be erected shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The boundary treatment shall be installed prior to first occupation of the dwelling hereby approved and thereafter maintained. Reason: To protect the amenity of surrounding residents in accordance with Policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
No development shall take place until an ecological mitigation and enhancement scheme has been drawn up by a suitably qualified ecologist, submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall be based on the recommendations contained within the Ecological Appraisal for Bats report by Barns Ecology dated October 2024 unless otherwise approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority or varied by a bat licence subsequently issued by Natural England; and shall include an implementation timetable. The works shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details and timetable. Reason: To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and for the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP 22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and paragraphs 187, 192 and 193 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
Prior to commencement of the development hereby approved a “lighting design strategy for biodiversity” shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The strategy shall: a. Identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for nocturnal wildlife and that are likely to cause disturbance in or around their breeding sites and resting places or along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example, for foraging; and b. Show how and where external lighting will be installed and impacts of internal light spill (through the provision of appropriate lighting contour plans and technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent the above species using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places. All lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the strategy, and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the strategy. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the local planning authority. Reason: To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and for the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP 22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and paragraphs 187, 192 193 and 198 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
On completion of works, the development shall be inspected by a qualified ecologist and a statement of conformity and a copy of any bat licences and licence monitoring returns as appropriate shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority to confirm the mitigation and enhancement measures for biodiversity have been successfully implemented in accordance with the details approved under this condition. Reason: To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and for the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP 22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and paragraphs 187, 192 and 193 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
