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 – RAY1057-01; RAY1057-03; RAY1057-02B. 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.
The unit/s hereby approved shall not be occupied other than for holiday purposes and shall not be used as residential dwelling/s, including any use within Class C3 of the Town and Country Planning(Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended). The unit shall not be occupied for more than 28 consecutive days and shall not be reoccupied by the same occupier following the 28 days consecutive days stay. Details of the name, permanent home address, vehicle registration shall be kept in a register a copy of which shall be made available to the Local Planning Authority for inspection at any time. Reason: It would be contrary to Policies SWDPR02 and SWDPR45 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026, and the National Planning Policy Framework
At no time shall any external lighting, except low power (under 550 Lumens/5 watts and <3000 Kelvin), ‘warm’ LED lighting in directional down-lighting luminaires on motion operated and time-limited switches be installed or operated in association with the approved development and no permanently illuminated external lighting shall be operated at any time, without the written approval of this local planning authority. Reason: To ensure that all species and local intrinsically dark landscape are protected having regard to Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981 amended); National Planning Policy Framework, and Policy SWDPR29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (2026)
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-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. 2. Remediation Scheme-Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use, by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors, must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. 3. Implementation of Remediation Scheme-The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 4. Verification Report-Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site. Reason To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.
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.
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 . 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.
