| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. |
| 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: 01358-001(A) Location & Site plan 01358-002 Existing and proposed site plan 01358-003 Existing floor plans 01358-005 Proposed floor plans 01358-006 Existing elevations 01358-008 Proposed elevations Reason: To define the permission in accordance with policies SWDPR01 and SWDPR03 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 and the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Prior to the first use / occupation of the development hereby approved, either a bat box (e.g. Ibstock enclosed bat box, Habibat bat box, Schwegler Wall-mounted Bat Shelter 2FE, Schwegler 2F Bat Box) and/or a bird box ( e.g. sparrow terrace, Schwegler 1b, vivaro pro Seville, vivaro pro Barcelona) shall be installed within the land ownership of the site. There should be clear flight path to the box without any clutter directly in front of the entrance. Bat boxes should be installed at least 4m above ground-level, facing south (or southwest/southeast), and not placed above windows. Nest boxes for tits, sparrows or starlings should be fixed two to four metres up a tree or a wall. Open-fronted boxes for robins and wrens need to be low down, below 2m, well hidden in vegetation. Bird boxes should face between north and east to avoid strong sunlight. Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDPR29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| 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 SWDPR 39 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: - seeking further information following receipt of the application. 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. |
| The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the extension hereby permitted shall match in type, colour, texture, size, coursing, jointing and pointing to those used in the existing building. Reason: To ensure that the new materials are in keeping with the surroundings and/or represent quality design in accordance with policy SWDPR05 and SWDPR28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review. |
