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 – Site Location Plan Proposed Site Plan – Dwg No. 32OR-DWG-PSP Proposed Block Plan – Dwg No. 32OR-DWG-PBP Proposed Plan and Elevations – Dwg No. 32OR-DWG-PPE Proposed Materials – Dwg No. 32OR-DWG-PM Reason: To define the permission.
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 permitted shall be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations set out in the Preliminary Roost Assessment carried out by Sharpe Ecology dated November 2025 and submitted with this application. In particular:- - As an enhancement, one bat box shall be installed on the west elevation of the converted building. The bat box shall comprise one of the options listed in section 5.2.2 of the report and shall be positioned as high as possible and as close to the roof apex as practicable. - In the unlikely event that any bat is encountered during the works, it will be left in situ and works will cease until an appropriate course of action has been agreed in writing with the ecologist. Reason: To ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, and to minimise impacts on protected species. This will also 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.
