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: - L149-01(-) Location Plan - L149-03(B) Proposed Site Plan - L149-011(A) Proposed Plans and Elevations - L149-014(A) School Lane Elevation - L149-015(A) Oak Street Elevation. Reason: To define the permission.
No building operations hereby permitted shall commence until details of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the dwellings hereby permitted have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The details to be submitted shall include:- - type, colour, texture, size, coursing, finish, jointing and pointing of brickwork; - type, colour, texture, size and design of roofing materials; - external joinery details along with architectural details of the proposed external finishes, heads, sills, position in wall reveal and any surrounding dressings (elevational drawings at a minimum scale of 1:20 and vertical sectional drawings at minimum scale of 1:2); - details of external doors/garage doors including information on finish. The development shall be carried out using the materials as approved. 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 represent quality design in accordance with policies SWDP 6, SWDP21 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Before the commencement of development hereby permitted an ecological mitigation and enhancement scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall be based on the recommendations contained within the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal with Preliminary Roost Assessment report by Focus Environmental Consultants dated April 2024 and the Badger Survey by Dr. Stefan Bodnar (MCIEEM) dated June 2024 and shall include an implementation timetable. The works shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details and timetable. 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.
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 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. 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 Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. 3. 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. 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.
No development shall take place until details on the location of any proposed soakaway have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Any soakaway should be located no less than 5m from any building or sub-structure and 2.5m from a site boundary. If soakaway drainage is not possible on this site, an alternative method of surface water disposal should be submitted for approval. The agreed recommendations shall be implemented in full prior to the first occupation of the development. Reason: To ensure that the site can be adequately drained and to comply with policy SWDP29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Arboricultural Method Statement and Tree Protection Plan contained within the Focus Environmental Consultants document BS5837:2012 ARBORICULTURAL SURVEY & IMPACT ASSESSMENT (AIA). Unless indicated on the approved arboricultural method statement and tree protection plan to be removed, all existing trees and hedges on the application site, or branches from trees on adjacent land that overhang the application site, shall be retained and shall not be felled or pruned or otherwise removed within the construction period and then for a period of five years from the completion of the development without the previous written consent of the local planning authority. If any retained tree/hedge is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, replacement planting shall be carried out in the first available planting season, in accordance with details to be approved in writing by the local planning authority. Reason: To preserve the visual amenities of the surrounding natural and built environment. This is in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
No construction works of any type should take place, including site clearance, demolition, or site stripping, until a site meeting has taken place between the applicant, their chosen contractor and the council’s tree and landscape officer. Reason: In order to ensure that the requirements of the approved tree protection measures are clearly understood by all parties involved in the construction process and to prevent existing trees/hedges from being damaged during construction work and to preserve the amenities of the locality in accordance with policies SWDP6, SWDP21 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Prior to the commencement of development, a scheme of landscaping shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The landscaping scheme shall include a plan detailing the disposition of planting, cross referenced to a schedule listing the species, size at time of planting, number of plants proposed or proposed planting density. The approved scheme shall be carried out in accordance with a timetable submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. If within a period of five years from the date of the planting of any tree, shrub or hedging plant planted pursuant to this condition that tree, shrub or hedging plant, or any tree, shrub or hedging plant planted in replacement for it, is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, or becomes, in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, seriously damaged or defective, poorly established or moribund, another tree, shrub or hedging plant of the same species and size as that originally planted shall be planted at the same place, unless the Local Planning Authority gives its written approval to any variation. Reason: To ensure the environment of the development is improved and enhanced and does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area, in accordance with Policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
(A) No development shall take place until a programme of archaeological work, including a Written Scheme of Investigation, has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The scheme shall include an assessment of significance and research questions; and: 1) The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording. 2) The programme for post investigation assessment. 3) Provision to be made for analysis of the site investigation and recording. 4) Provision to be made for publication and dissemination of the analysis and records of the site investigation. 5) Provision to be made for archive deposition of the analysis and records of the site investigation. 6) Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the Written Scheme of Investigation. (B) The development shall not be occupied until the site investigation and post investigation assessment has been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) and the provision made for analysis, publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been secured. Reason: In accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 200 and 211 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012 (as amended) and SWDP 6 & 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
In accordance with the approved Energy Assessment by DJD Architects, at least 10% of the predicted energy requirements of the development will be met through the use of renewable/low carbon energy generating facilities. The approved facilities shall be provided prior to any part of the development hereby permitted being first occupied or in accordance with a timetable submitted to and approved by the local planning authority as part of the details required by this condition. Reason: To ensure the proposed development includes sufficient renewable/low carbon energy generating facilities to comply with Policy 27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
Prior to the first occupation of any of the dwellings hereby approved, details of superfast broadband facilities or alternative solutions to serve the dwellings hereby approved shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The submitted details shall include an implementation programme. The facilities shall be provided in accordance with the approved details. Reason: To ensure the proposal incorporates satisfactory telecommunication facilities in line with policy SWDP26 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
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.
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 additions, extensions or external alterations, building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house shall be constructed/carried out on the application site following the completion/first use of the development hereby permitted unless planning permission has first been granted for the works by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: Additional development of the site should be limited and controlled as the approved dwellings will have limited available amenity space and additional development could result in over development of the site or loss of amenity for the occupants therein and/or neighbouring properties and to comply with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
