Reason: As required under the statutory framework introduced by Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and having regard for Policy CS4.
4. Biodiversity Net Gain Maintenance Plan The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan to ensure that there is a minimum 10% net gain in biodiversity within a 30-year period as a result of the development and the Biodiversity Gain Plan shall be implemented in full.

Reason: In the interests of ensuring measurable net gains to biodiversity and in accordance with paragraphs 180 and 186 of the National Planning Policy Framework and having regard for Policy CS4.
5. Ecology (lighting) The mitigation measures as set out in the submitted and approved Ecological Lighting Assessment and accompanying plans, prepared by Strenger (received 02 March 2026) must be carried out on site in accordance with these details and retained on site in for the lifetime of the development. Reason: To protect and enhance the ecology and biodiversity of the site and ensure the survival and protection of important species and those protected by legislation that could be adversely affected by the development having regard to Policy CS4 of the Local Plan and section 15 of the NPPF.

8. Ecology The mitigation measures detailed below, as set out in the submitted and approved Ecological Impact & Biodiversity Metric Assessment prepared by A1 Ecology (received 02 March 2026) , must be carried out on site in accordance with these details: a) Clearance of the site should take place only between September and February to avoid the bird breeding season unless the site is checked by an appropriately experienced ecologist and nests are confirmed to be absent. b) Brash and cuttings arising from clearance works should also be reduced to chippings immediately to avoid the creation of potential refuging opportunities. c) Materials for the works should be stored off the ground on pallets or in suitable containers to avoid creating potential refuge sites. Reason: To protect and enhance the ecology and biodiversity of the site and ensure the survival and protection of important species and those protected by legislation that could be adversely affected by the development having regard to Policy CS4 of the Local Plan and section 15 of the NPPF.
9. Protected Species Mitigation Consideration should be given to providing compensation by enhancing habitats adjacent to the red-lined development area that are not affected by the development. Opportunities include the erection of bird and bat boxes within woodland areas, and planting of native shrub and tree species to enhance habitat diversity within the site.
10. Contaminated Land Site Investigation Prior to the commencement of development, a full and competent site investigation including risk assessment must be undertaken and submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This must identify any contamination present and specify adequate remediation. The development must be carried out in accordance with the approved risk assessment and remediation scheme. Validation of the remediated site shall be provided in the form of a detailed completion statement confirming that works set out and agreed were completed and that the site is suitable for its intended use.
