| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Where prior approval is granted, the default duration of that permission is three years from the date of this permission, in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class T, paragraph T.2(2). There is no reason to alter the default duration in relation to the permission in principle hereby granted. |
| The decision notice relates to the following plan: 2385 1010 B; 2385 1000 C; 2385 2000 B; 2385 3001 B; 2385 3000 C; Transport Statement, January 2026 |
| 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 and widespread across the County. 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. |
| This permission does not authorise the laying of private apparatus within the confines of the public highway. |
| This permission does not authorise the applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway |
| 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. |
