Condition Details / Information Notes
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
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: Location Plan dated 9 Jun 2025 2506-11 Site Location Plan with footpaths. Reason: To define the permission.
Within 3 months of the date of this permission a scheme of landscaping shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The landscaping scheme shall include the planting of mixed native species hedgerows along the site’s eastern and southern boundaries, with scattered standard oaks along their lengths, in accordance with the defined landscape character of the area (principal timbered farmlands). The submitted scheme should also demonstrate how “butterflies and other insects” “will be further encouraged”, as suggested will be the case on the application form. All planting shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details in the first planting season following the first use of the development, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which, within a period of five years from the completion of the planting, die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species. Reason - To ensure the proposed development does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Part 1 Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any Order revising, revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no new building or enclosure shall be constructed within the application site without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To protect the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the listed building.
Within 3 months of this permission details of two bird nesting boxes shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  The details to be submitted shall include an implementation timetable. The feature(s) shall be provided in accordance with the approved details and in accordance with the approved timetable. Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary.
a) The applicant is required to include all PROW in, adjacent to and affected by the development in the correct position on all their plans, to ensure public safety by making developers and contractors aware of its location. It also enables us to correctly assess the impact of the development on the PROW. b) There can be no disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof without written consent of the Highway Authority. c) There must be no reduction in the width of the PROW. d) No additional barriers (e.g., stile, gate, or fence) may be placed on or across a PROW without the written consent of the Highway Authority. Planning permission does not authorise anyone to change, obstruct or close a public right of way. Building materials must not be stored on PROW and work to carry out the development should not obstruct the footpath at any time. Vehicle movements and parking must not unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of PROW. It is an offence for any person to drive a motor vehicle on a PROW without lawful authority (Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988). The developer is responsible for ensuring any vehicles using PROW, in connection with the development, during and after construction have the appropriate authorisation. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter. The definitive line of a PROW is recorded on the definitive map and can only be changed by legal Order; further details can be found on the WCC website at https://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/council-services/environment/countryside-andleisure/public-rights-way. The Definitive Map represents the minimum legal record of PROW. It does not rule out the existence of unrecorded public rights or the possibility that higher rights (e.g., bridleway or byway) exist than those currently shown. Planning policies and decisions are made to protect and enhance PROW and access. National Planning Policy Framework, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government). The effect of development on a PROW is a material consideration in the determination of applications for planning permission. (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (2009). Rights of Way Circular 1/09: Guidance for Local Authorities – Version 2). The County Council is responsible for maintaining PROW to a standard suitable for their usual public use, it is not responsible for maintaining PROW for private vehicular use.
