- The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 534_03 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- The materials to be used must match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture those listed in the 'Materials' section of the application form. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
- Biodiversity enhancements shall be installed on-site prior to first use of the development hereby approved, and thereafter retained, in the form of a minimum of 1no. bat box and 1no. bird box. Biodiversity enhancements shall be installed in line with the 'Suggested biodiversity enhancements' listed on pages 10 to 12 of the submitted Preliminary Roost Appraisal (Final 1.0 - 18/12/2025) by ArbTech.

- Note to Applicant: In the unlikely event of any bats being found during demolition or construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be informed. Additional information is available on the Bat Conservation Trust website at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works.
- Note to Applicant: New exterior lighting should be avoided, but if necessary for security purposes, then the latest updated lighting guidance note (GN08/23) should be followed.
