Reason: In order to ensure that the requirements of the approved tree protection measures are clearly understood by all parties involved in the construction process and to prevent existing trees/hedges from being damaged during construction work and to preserve the amenities of the locality in accordance with policies SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR29 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The development must proceed in strict accordance with the submitted Arboricultural Method Statement and Tree Protection Plan unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To preserve the visual amenities of the surrounding natural and built environment in accordance with policies SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR29 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The development must proceed in strict accordance with the submitted Landscape Planting Plan unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To preserve the visual amenities of the surrounding natural and built environment in accordance with policies SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR29 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| 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 from Maydencroft Limited, dated February 2025, and shall incorporate the recommended mitigation and enhancement measures for protected species and include an implementation timetable.
The EMES shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details and timetable and all features shall be retained in that manner hereafter.
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 SWDPR 01, SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR 29 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026.
|
| A Lighting Design Strategy for Biodiversity shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the developmentabove ground works. 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 that are particularly sensitive for bats, badgers and hedgehogs 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 nocturnal wildlife form 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 protected species in accordance with SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR29 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026.

| 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 Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority; and
- The planning authority has approved the plan.
Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the biodiversity gain plan must include:
- 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;
- The pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
- The post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
- Any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development;
- Any biodiversity credits purchased for the development; and
- Any such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify.
Advice about how to prepare a Biodiversity Gain Plan and a template can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/submit-a-biodiversity-gain-plan.
|
| - Public rights of way must be marked on all plans. This is for safety reasons, to alert developers and contractors to the possible presence of walkers, wheel chair users and horse riders.
- If development cannot take place without obstructing the public right of way then application should be made to the district council to divert it under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
- If Public Safety demands a temporary closure, application should be made at least 6 weeks in advance to: the Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at Worcestershire County Council PROWclosures@worcestershire.gov.uk. |
| Prior to the commencement of the 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 approved Biodiversity Gain Plan and the approved Landscaping Scheme and shall be maintained after implementation. It shall include the following:
- Description and evaluation of the features to be managed;
- Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management;
- Aims and objectives of management;
- Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives;
- Prescriptions for management actions;
- 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;
- Details of the body or organisation responsible for implementation of the plan;
- 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 that the proposal harmonises with the surroundings in accordance with SWDPR 01, SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR 30 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A of 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 SWDPR 30 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026.
|
| The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied/first used until full details of all surface water drainage systems to serve the development have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved drainage works shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the first occupation/use of the development hereby permitted and shall be retained thereafter.
Reason: To ensure development does not exacerbate flood risk and deals with surface water run-off from the site in a sustainable manner, in accordance with policies SWDPR 38, SWDPR 39 and SWDPR 40 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026.
