Reason: To define the permission. |
| Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority development, other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation, must not commence until conditions 1 to 5 have been complied with:
1. A preliminary risk assessment (a Phase I desk study) submitted to the Local Authority in support of the application has identified unacceptable risk(s) exist on the site as represented in the Conceptual Site Model. A scheme for detailed site investigation must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to being undertaken to address those unacceptable risks identified. The scheme must be designed to assess the nature and extent of any contamination and must be led by the findings of the preliminary risk assessment. The investigation and risk assessment scheme must be compiled by competent persons and must be designed in accordance with the Environment Agency's "Land Contamination: Risk Management" guidance.
2. The detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the approved Scheme and a written report of the findings produced. This report must be approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any development taking place.
3. Where the site investigation identified remediation is required, 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.
4. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development, other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
5. Following the completion of the measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a validation 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.
6. 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 in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken and where necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared, these will be subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority. Following the completion of any measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a validation report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings.
REASON
To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.
|
| Prior to the first use/occupation of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the submitted Water Management Statement shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter.
Reason: To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDP29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
|
| The development, hereby permitted, shall be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations set out in the updated Ecological Assessment report, carried out by Willder Ecology, dated October 2024 and submitted in support of this application. In particular:
- The dismantling of the garage and lean-to taking place outside of the main bird nesting season, April to August, to avoid any potential harm to nesting birds, with any roof dismantling a precautionary approach is always recommended;
- Prior to the commencement of works, the garage and lean-to must be checked by a licensed ecologist;
- All existing boundary hedgerows and trees are retained and restocked and comprised of native species;
- The integration of a bat box on the southwestern gable end of the proposed dwelling;
- The integration of a brick bird box on the northern gable end of the proposed dwelling;
- Precautionary Working Methods in relation to bats to be undertaken during the construction period;
- All contractors should be made aware of the potential presence of bats;
- If any bats, amphibians or reptiles are found during work, all work must cease and an ecologist must be engaged to advise, visit and reassess the site.
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 paragraphs 109 and 118 of the National Planning Policy Framework and to ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010.
|
| The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless:
(a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and
(b) the planning authority has approved the plan.
Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A TCPA 1990 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;

|
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the Plan and maintained thereafter in accordance with the approved Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP).
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
|
| Prior to the commencement of development hereby approved a Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The content of the LEMP shall be based on the recommendations made in the Biodiversity Net Gain Supplement, the approved Landscape Scheme and informed by a BNG Assessment and associated metric calculations, and shall maintain this after implementation. It shall include the following:
a. Description and evaluation of the features to be managed;
b. Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management.
c. Aims and objectives of management;
d. Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives;
e. Prescriptions for management actions;
f. Preparation of a work schedule, including an annual work plan capable of being rolled forward over a five-year period and for a minimum of 30 years thereafter;
g. Details of the body or organisation responsible for implementation of the plan;
h. On-going monitoring and remedial measures.
The plan shall also set out where the results of the monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the LEMP are not being met, how contingencies and/or remedial action identified, agreed and implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme.
The LEMP will be implemented in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site, and to ensure the proposal harmonises with the surroundings in accordance with policies SWDP21, SWDP22 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
