| 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 work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until the following requirements have been complied with: 1. A 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 approved by 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 of the 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 work required to carry out the remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 4. Following completion of the measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and approved by 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. |
| Prior to the development hereby approved being first occupied, the existing workshops as shown on the approved plans shall be demolished and the site cleared of all the resulting materials (apart from materials used in the construction of the development hereby approved).

| Prior to the first occupation of the dwelling hereby approved an area shall be laid out within the curtilage of the property for the parking and turning of 2 cars which shall be properly consolidated, surfaced and drained in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority and that area shall not thereafter be used for any other purpose than the parking of vehicles. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway and to conform to the requirements of Policy SWDPR06 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026) and the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The proposed boundary treatment as indicated on the existing and proposed site plan L176-102(A) shall be implemented in accordance with the plan.

| At no time shall any external lighting, except low power (under 550 Lumens/5 watts and <3000 Kelvin), ‘warm’ LED lighting in directional down-lighting luminaires on motion operated and time-limited switches be installed or operated in association with the approved development and no permanently illuminated external lighting shall be operated at any time, without the written approval of this local planning authority.
Reason: To ensure that all species and local intrinsically dark landscape are protected having regard to Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981 amended); National Planning Policy Framework, and Policy SWDPR29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026) |
| The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied 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 policy SWDPR39 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| 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. |
| The Authority would advise the applicant (and their contractors) that they have a legal Duty of Care as regards wildlife protection. The majority of UK wildlife is subject to some level of legal protection through the Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981 as amended) and the Habitats and Species Regulations (2019 as amended), with enhanced protection for special “Higher Status Protected Species” such as all Bat species, Great Crested Newts, Otters, Dormice, Crayfish and reptile species that are present . All nesting birds are legally protected from disturbance at any time of the year. Care should be taken to plan work and at all times of the year undertake the necessary precautionary checks and develop relevant working methods prior to work commencing. If in any doubt it advised that advice from a local professional ecology consultant is obtained. If any protected species or other wildlife is found or disturbed during works then all works should stop and the site made safe until professional ecology advice and any required ‘licences’ have been obtained. Any additional lighting should fully respect locally dark landscapes and associated public amenity and nature conservation interests. |
