1. The development hereby permitted shall start no later than three years from the date of this decision. Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
2. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: L01, 001, 101 Rev.B Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
3. The materials to be used must match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture to those listed in the materials section of the application form and Plan 101 Rev.B. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
4. 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.
5. Note to applicant: Any vegetation to be removed to facilitate the development must be removed outside of bird nesting season (which is usually between the beginning of March and the end of August). If this is not possible then vegetation can be cleared only after being checked for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist up to 24 hours before the start of works. If any active nests are found, work must stop, and a 5 m buffer must be erected around the nest to protect it from disturbance until after the birds have fledged and left the nest.
6. Note to applicant: A precautionary working method must be used to prevent harm to wildlife that could be using this site. It should include: All building materials to be stored on hard standing or on pallets, as far as possible from hedgerows, scrub or potential habitat. Any excavations must be covered at night or be fitted with a small animal escape ramp. No fires can be lit on site. Waste must be stored in a skip and not be allowed to accumulate in piles which could be used by wildlife. Any chemicals and fuels must be stored carefully and away from potential wildlife habitat. Any animals found on site should not be handled but be allowed to move away to a place of safety on their own.
7. Note to applicant: Biodiversity enhancements will be required in accord with Local Plan policy DM 11 and NPPF (December 2024) paragraphs 187d and 192 b. A bat box and or a bird nest box such as a sparrow terrace may be appropriate for this building. The garden can be enhanced with plants for pollinators. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4 m above the ground, away from artificial light sources, sheltered from strong winds and exposed to the sun for part of the day, facing south, south-east or south-west.
