| No development shall take place until an Ecological Mitigation and Enhancement Scheme (EMES) has been drawn up by a suitably qualified ecologist and has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be based on the recommendations made in the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal report dated June 2023 from Shropshire Wildlife Surveys and shall include: a) A sensitive lighting scheme should be adopted during the construction period, ensuring no features of wildlife interest are illuminated; b) Any construction or site clearance work should be restricted only to daylight hours; c) Construction work and vegetation clearance should avoid the bird breeding season (March to August, inclusive); d) If this period cannot be avoided, the site should be subject to a pre-commencement inspection for any active nests before the works begin; e) In the event that an active nest is discovered, all works should cease and a suitably qualified ecologist should be engaged to advise; f) At the end of each working day, any required excavations should be infilled or provided with a means of escape for any trapped animals (such as a ramp or sloped edges), in the event that one becomes trapped; g) Pipe works with a diameter of more than 120mm should be securely capped at the end of each working day. h) Details (specifications, models and locations) of bird and bat boxes to be installed at suitable locations and heights; i) An Implementation Timetable.

Details of the name, permanent home address, vehicle registration shall be kept in a register a copy of which shall be made available to the Local Planning Authority for inspection at any time.
Reason: It would be contrary to Policies SWDPR03, and the National Planning Policy Framework to grant planning permission for dwellings in this location

| The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Coal Authority as containing potential hazards arising from former coal mining activity at the surface or shallow depth. These hazards can include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites. Although such hazards are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur in the future, particularly as a mresult of new development taking place.
It is recommended that information outlining how former mining activities may affect the proposed development, along with any mitigation measures required, is submitted alongside any subsequent application for Building Regulations approval.
If any coal mining feature is unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848. Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/the-coal-authority

• The Local Planning Authority has approved the Biodiversity Gain Plan.
Subject to paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Biodiversity Gain Plan must include:
• Information on the steps taken, or to be taken, to minimise the adverse effects of the development on the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat and any other affected habitat.
• The pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat.
• The post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat.
• Details of any registered off-site biodiversity gains allocated to the development, together with the biodiversity value of those gains.
• Details of any statutory biodiversity credits purchased for the development.
• Any other information required by regulations made by the Secretary of State.
Applicants are advised that guidance on preparing and submitting a Biodiversity Gain Plan, including a template, is available on the GOV.UK website.
