| 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 that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with:
1. 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.

In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application. |
| Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to damage or destroy a roost (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time), to deliberately kill or injure a bat, disturb a bat in its roost, or intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under these acts.
Any removal of roof and wall coverings including roof tiles, slates, hanging tiles, timber boarding, soffit boxes and facia boards shall be carried out carefully by hand. If bats or any sign of bats such as an accumulation of droppings are encountered at any stage of work, work must cease immediately and advice sought from an appropriately licenced bat ecologist on how to proceed lawfully. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant.
|
| This permission does not authorise the applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by the County Council’s Approved Contractor, Ringway Infrastructure Service who can be contacted by email worcestershirevehicle.crossing@ringway.co.uk. The applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access. |
