|
| Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a Landscape & Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The content of the LEMP shall be based on the recommendations made in the Biodiversity Net Gain Design Stage Report from Udall-Martin Associates, dated June 2025, the approved landscaping scheme, informed by a Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment and associated metric calculations and shall maintain this 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 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 SWDP 21, SWDP 22 and SWDP 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
|
| Prior to the commencement of development hereby permitted, a Lighting Design Strategy for Biodiversity shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. 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:
- Identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for nocturnal wildlife and that are likely to cause 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
- Show how and where external lighting will be installed and impacts of internal light spill (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 animals from using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places. This will include the provision of dark corridor conditions for retained trees and other commuting routes.
All 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 to minimise impacts on protected species in accordance with SWDP 22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
|
| 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 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. |
| The Development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until the proposed buildings and have been provided as shown on drawing 100116050-ATRL-XX-Z0-D-A-021003 Rev 07 (Proposed Site Plan).
Reason: To ensure conformity with summited details. |
| 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 effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A of 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 on-site habitat;
- The pre-development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat;
- The post-development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat.

| We require the rights of way to be open throughout the development construction where possible. However, if public safety demands a temporary closure, application should be made at least 8 weeks in advance to: The Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at countryside@worcestershire.gov.uk.
If vehicular access to the site is via the public right of way, it should be noted that under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, any person who, without lawful authority, drives a motor vehicle on a public right of way commits an offence. The applicant should make themselves satisfied that they, and anyone else who may use public rights of way for private vehicular access in connection with the development,
has a right to do so. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter. The County Council is responsible for maintaining rights of way to a standard suitable for their usual public use.
No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without our written consent.
No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public.
Building materials must not be stored on the right of way.
Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so vehicles do not unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of the right of way.
No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.
The National Planning Policy Framework by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, particularly paragraph 104, states that planning policies protect and enhance public rights of way and access.
The developer should also be aware of the Department of Environment Circular 1/09 (part 7) which explains that the effect of development on a public right of way is a material consideration in the determination of applications for planning permission and that the grant of planning consent does not entitle developers to obstruct a public right of way.
The Definitive Map is a minimum record of public rights of way and does not preclude the possibility that unrecorded public rights may exist, nor that higher rights may exist than those shown.
