Reason: To ensure an acceptable appearance of the building in accordance with Policies SP16, SP17, DP18 and DP2 of the adopted New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016- 2036 (August 2019).
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the National Park Authority, development shall only take place in accordance with the recommendations for ecological mitigation and enhancement which are set out in the Pro Vision Bat Report (October 2025) hereby approved. The specified measures shall be implemented and retained at the site in perpetuity. Reason: To safeguard protected species in accordance with Policies DP2 and SP6 of the adopted New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 - 2036 (August 2019).
- Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) England Order 2015 (or any re-enactment of that Order) no garage or other outbuilding, or alterations to such buildings, otherwise approved by Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Order shall be erected or carried out without express planning permission first having been granted. Reason: To ensure the dwelling remains of a size which is appropriate to its location within the countryside and to comply with Policies DP35 and DP36 of the adopted New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 - 2036 (August 2019).
- No external lighting shall be installed on the site unless details of such proposals have been submitted to and approved in writing by the New Forest National Park Authority. Reason: To protect the amenities of the area in accordance with Policies DP2 and SP15 of the adopted New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 - 2036 (August 2019).
- The trees on the site which are shown to be retained on the approved plans shall be protected during all site clearance, demolition and building works in accordance with the measures set out in the submitted Arboricultural Impact Appraisal and Method Statement (October 2025).

- The building the subject of this permission shall only be used for annexe accommodation ancillary to the enjoyment of the main dwelling, and shall not be used as a separate self contained unit of accommodation as a permanent dwelling, or as a holiday let.

- The existing 'ancillary' buildings shown on the Location Plan (drawing number 24/825/E011 Rev C) shall be demolished in full prior to the first construction of the development hereby approved. Reason: The development is only justified as a replacement of the existing buildings, and a net new additional building would not be supported.
- Upon completion of the development, confirmation of the installation of the ecological mitigation, compensation and enhancement measures as set out within the Pro Vision Bat Report (October 2025) hereby approved, shall be submitted to the Authority. This should be undertaken by a professional ecologist, and can be in the form of an email/photos. Reason: To safeguard protected species in accordance with Policies DP2 and SP6 of the adopted New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016- 2036 (August 2019).
- The Authority has considered the application in relation to its adopted Local Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant material planning consideration and has confirmed to the applicant or their agent that the development is compliant and does not harm the character and appearance or amenities of the area.
- The applicant is reminded that, under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to (amongst other things): deliberately capture, disturb, injure, or kill great crested newts; damage or destroy a breeding or resting place; intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a resting or sheltering place. Planning permission for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this legislation. Should great crested newts be found at any stage of the development works, then all works should cease, and a professional and/or suitably qualified and experienced ecologist (or Natural England) should be contacted for advice on any special precautions before continuing, including the need for a licence. If at any point during construction works any great crested newts are identified, then the following instructions must be strictly adhered to: Stop all works immediately and leave the area Inform an ecologist immediately who will provide further guidance / instructions Do not try to handle or rescue a great crested newt Do not resume construction works until advised it is safe to do so by an ecologist It should be noted that if an individual great crested newt is found at any point during the works, a European Protected Species Licence (EPSL) or District Licence (DL) may be required to permit works that would potentially cause disturbance and otherwise commit an offence under the relevant legislation. If the applicant wishes to completely avoid any risks relating to great crested newts, they have the option to enquire for the New Forest National Park Authority’s District Licence, which provides full legal cover for any impacts to great crested newts and therefore removes the risk of having to stop works if great crested newts are found on site. More details on the District Licensing Scheme operated by the council can be found at https://naturespaceuk.com/.
- The tennis courts hereby approved shall only be used for private purposes, incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, and shall not be used for any commerical purpose. Reason: To ensure the development remains for private use only in the interests of the character of the area and neighbouring amenity in accordance with Policy DP2 of the adopted New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 - 2036 (August 2019).
