| 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 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:- 1981-LOC-C, 1981-01C, 1981-04C.
Reason: To define the permission. |
| Any roof and wall cladding, including roof tiles, soffit boxes, facia boards, hanging tiles, timber and waney boarding that need to be removed as part of the development hereby approved shall all be removed 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 Natural England or 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.
In addition, as part of the development hereby approved a woodstone bat box shall be integrated inside the cheeks of the south side of the new dormer window.
Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
|
| On completion of works the development shall be inspected by a qualified ecologist and a statement of conformity shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority to confirm the mitigation, compensation and enhancement measures for biodiversity have been successfully implemented in accordance with the details approved under condition 3.
Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
| 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 SWDP29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016. |
| 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 2010, the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to deliberately kill or injure a bat, to disturb or destroy a bat roost or to obstruct an entrance to a roost.
|
| The applicant must be aware of their obligations towards the public right of way as follows:
• No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof is carried out without written consent of the Highway Authority.
• No diminution is made in the width of the right of way available for use by the public.
• No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on or across the public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
• Building materials and equipment associated with the development must not be stored on the right of way and work undertaken to carry out the development should not obstruct the footpath at any time.
• Vehicle movements and parking must be arranged so as not to interfere with the public’s use of the right of way.
• The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.
If it is necessary to divert, extinguish or create public rights of way for the permitted development to take place this should be completed to confirmation stage before any development affecting the public right of way is started. The applicant should note the grant of planning permission does not mean an Order will be made or confirmed.
Where possible, the definitive line of public rights of way should be kept open and available for use throughout the construction phase. However, if public safety requires a temporary closure of a public right of way during works the appropriate application should be made to the Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at least 8 weeks prior to the earliest requested closure date. |
| The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Coal Authority as containing potential hazards arising from former coal mining activity at the surface or shallow depth. These hazards can include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites. Although such hazards are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur in the future, particularly as a result of new development taking place.
It is recommended that information outlining how former mining activities may affect the proposed development, along with any mitigation measures required (for example the need for gas protection measures within the foundations), is submitted alongside any subsequent application for Building Regulations approval (if relevant).
Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks. As a general precautionary principle, the Coal Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided. In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure that a suitable engineering design which takes into account all the relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water. Your attention is drawn to the Coal Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-on-or-within-the-influencing-distance-of-mine-entries
Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Coal Authority Permit. Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes. Failure to obtain a Coal Authority Permit for such activities is trespass, with the potential for court action.
If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848. Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at:
