Prior to first occupation of the development, the glazing and ventilation scheme shall be installed in full accordance with the recommendations and specifications set out in the approved Noise Impact Assessment (24Acoustics reference R10835-2 Rev 0 dated 20th February 2026). The approved measures shall be permanently retained and maintained thereafter. Reason: In the interest of residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers and future occupants.

Note to Applicant: Development under Class MA is permitted subject to the condition that it must be completed within a period of 3 years starting with the prior approval date.
Note to Applicant: It is a requirement that the applicant satisfies their obligations under Regulations 77 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), in strict accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended). Failure to comply with this will mean that the development will have been unlawfully implemented. In this instance appropriate mitigation is required to offset the development's impacts on the European Protected Site, in terms of additional recreational pressure (to the New Forest), and additional output of nutrients (nitrates and phosphates) arising from a net gain of residential accommodation. Development must not be occupied until the Local Planning Authority has given its written approval for the development and appropriate mitigation has been secured against the developments harmful impacts on the European Protected Site(s).
