Decision & conditions

Granted Permission
Decision
Planning conditions
  1. The applicant is informed that for the avoidance of doubt the details approved by this notice are as follows:- Location Plan - Trail Route 2026 as updated 13.07.2026 Traffic and transport Management Plan (Received 23.06.2026)
  2. Officers note the supporting ‘Ecology Statement’ and the reasonable points noted within, it is acknowledged that the project team remains committed to protecting wildlife and sensitive habitats throughout the planning, installation, operation and de-rig phases of the event, which is supported. Proposed Mitigation Measures Subject to confirmation by the forthcoming ecological survey, the event intends to implement the same mitigation measures successfully employed in previous years, including: • Retention of established lighting and sound buffer zones around ecologically sensitive areas. • Installation of protective badger sett hatches or equivalent protective measures where any active setts are identified on or adjacent to the route. • Routing, fencing and operational controls to minimise disturbance to wildlife. However, the requirements of the condition are specific and require updated bat and badger surveys as provided in previous years, therefore the Local Planning Authority cannot discharge the condition on the basis of the ecology statement. The applicant should submit for formal discharge in that matter when the reports become available.
