| The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the agricultural building hereby permitted shall be as specified in the application documents i.e. a steel portal frame, enclosed on all sides with plastisol coated steel sheeting and finished in dark green.
Reason: To protect, conserve and enhance the significance of heritage assets and to ensure that the new materials are in keeping with the surroundings and/or represent quality design in accordance with policies SWDR09, SWDPR05, SWDPR28 and SWDPR33 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The agricultural building hereby approved shall be used for storage in association with the surrounding agricultural land and for no other purpose, including domestic storage or any other purpose in Class C3 of the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended), or in any provision equivalent to that Class in any statutory instrument revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification.
Should the use of the building for the purposes of agriculture cease within ten years from the date on which the development was substantially completed, and planning permission has not been granted for a use other than agriculture, then the building must be removed from the land, and the land be restored to its condition before the development took place. This shall take place within three years from the date on which the use of the building has permanently ceased for agricultural purposes. You must notify the local planning authority, in writing and within seven days, of the date on which the development is substantially completed.
Reason: The decision is made upon the basis that the development proposed would be sited upon agricultural land and would be reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture. If these circumstances do not apply, then the approved use must cease or seek planning permission. In order to accord with Policies SWDPR 02 and SWDPR 34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 and Paragraphs 88 and 187 of the NPPF.

| No external lighting shall be provided other than the maximum of one external LED down-lighter above or beside each external door (and below eaves height) with a Corrected Colour Temperature not exceeding 2700K and brightness under 500 lumens. Every such light shall be directed downwards with a 0 degree tilt angle and 0% upward light ratio and shall be controlled by means of a PIR sensor with a maximum over-run time of 1 minute. The lighting shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with these details.
Reason: To ensure that all species and local intrinsically dark landscape are protected having regard to The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, as amended by the Conservation of Habitats and Species (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019’ (the ‘Habitats Regulations’), Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981 amended); National Planning Policy Framework, NERC Act (2006) and SWDPR 29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to and agreed Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The content of the LEMP shall be based on the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan, the recommendations made in the Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment report from Arbtech dated June 2026, the approved Landscaping Scheme and shall be maintained after implementation. It shall include the following:
Details (type and location) of wildlife boxes and hedgehog highways;
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 and 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 SWDPR 01, SWDPR05, SWDPR28, SWDPR 30 and SWDPR34 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 |
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the Plan and maintained thereafter in accordance with the approved Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP).
Reason – To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDPR 30 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) (or any order revoking, re-enacting, substituting, amending, extending, consolidating, replacing or modifying that Order), no building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house other than those expressly authorised by this permission shall be constructed/carried out on the application site.
