| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission/consent, 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/documents – MAB 1, MAB 2, MAB 3, "Planning Statement" .
Reason: To define the permission. |
| 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. |
| A "lighting design strategy for biodiversity" shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority prior to the commencement of development. The strategy shall be based on Guidance Note 08/23. Bats and Artificial Lighting at Night, by the Bat Conservation Trust and ILP, and shall include the following:
a. Identification of the areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for bats 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 (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 bats using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places.
All external 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 compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and minimise impacts on with protected species in accordance with Policy SWDP22
|
| No development shall take place until an Ecological Mitigation and Enhancement Scheme (EMES) 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 made in Section 5 of the Preliminary Roost Assessment report produced by Viridis, dated January 2025. 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 policies SWDP 22 and SWDPR 27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and paragraphs 187, 192 and 193 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
|
| No building operations hereby permitted shall commence until details of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the proposed dwelling hereby permitted have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The details to be submitted shall include:-
- type, colour, texture, size and design of roofing materials
To protect, conserve and enhance the significance of heritage assets and to ensure that the new materials are in keeping with the surroundings and/or represent quality design in accordance with policies SWDP 6, SWDP21 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
| The Development hereby approved shall not be occupied until an area has been laid out within the curtilage of the dwelling for the parking of 2 cars.This area shall thereafter be retained for the purpose of parking a vehicle only.
REASON: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway. |
| The Development hereby permitted shall not be first occupied until sheltered and secure cycle parking to comply with the Council’s adopted highway design guide has been provided in accordance with details which shall first be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local
Planning Authority and thereafter the approved cycle parking shall be kept available for the parking of bicycles only.
REASON: To comply with the Council’s parking standards. |
| Construction Environmental Management Plan
The Development hereby approved shall not commence until a Construction Environmental Management Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall include but not be limited to the following:-
• Measures to ensure that vehicles leaving the site do not deposit mud or other detritus on the public highway;
• Details of site operative parking areas, material storage areas and the location of site operatives facilities (offices, toilets etc);
• The hours that delivery vehicles will be permitted to arrive and depart, and arrangements for unloading and manoeuvring.
• Details of any temporary construction accesses and their reinstatement.
The measures set out in the approved Plan shall be carried out and complied with in full during the construction of the development hereby approved. Site operatives' parking, material storage and the positioning of operatives' facilities shall only take place on the site in locations approved by in writing by the local planning authority.
Reason: To ensure the provision of adequate on-site facilities and in the interests of highway safety. |

Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2010, the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to deliberately kill or injure a bat, to disturb or destroy a bat roost or to obstruct an entrance to a roost. If evidence of bats is found, work should stop immediately and an ecological consultant contacted for advice on the best way to proceed. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant. |
