CONDITION 1: The development to which this permission relates must not be begun later than the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. REASON: To comply with Section 91 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, 2004.
CONDITION 2: The development shall be carried out in accordance with the plans and documents detailed below: The Application Form Site Location Plan - Scale 1:1250 Martin Ecology - Preliminary Bat Roost Appraisal - 7th July 2025 Received by the Local Planning Authority on the 14th July 2025 Proposed Plans & Elevations - 25.1037.GA.101_B Sectional Driveway Drawing - 24.6720.GA.102 Timber Framed Outbuilding - 24.6720.GA.103 Received by the Local Planning Authority on the 26th September 2025 REASON: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the details of the development are acceptable to the Local Planning Authority.
INFORMATIVE 1: Bats can be found in many buildings, even those that initially appear to be unsuitable or have been subject to a bat survey and found no evidence. Therefore, if any evidence of bats is found on site, work should stop while a bat survey is carried out by an experienced bat worker, and any recommendations made following the survey are undertaken. It should also be noted that as bats are a mobile species and can move into a property with potential access at any time. A further survey may be required if the works are not undertaken within two years. Bats and roosts are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, and The Conservation of Habitat and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).
INFORMATIVE 2: Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Birds can nest in many places including buildings, trees, shrubs, dense ivy, and bramble/rose scrub. Nesting birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). The main nesting season lasts approximately from March to September inclusive, so work should ideally take place outside these dates if at all possible. N.B birds can nest at any time, and the site should ideally be checked by a suitably qualified ecologist for their presence immediately before work starts, especially if during the breeding season.
INFORMATIVE 3: Consideration should be given to the provision of suitable bat and bird boxes within the new build or adjacent trees in order to increase opportunities for wildlife. Many bat and bird populations have declined dramatically in recent years due to loss of roost, nest and foraging sites as a result of development. However, a variety of bat and bird species use boxes and they can be particularly useful in the urban environment, where natural nesting places can be scarce. Further advice and information can be obtained from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), and the Royal Society for the Preservation of Birds (RSPB). WCC Ecological Services (tel: 01926 418060) would be pleased to advise further if required, in particular regarding which type of boxes to use.
CONDITION 4: The accommodation for car parking of two vehicles shall be provided and shall be retained permanently for the accommodation of vehicles of persons residing or calling at the property. REASON: In order to ensure that satisfactory parking and access arrangements are maintained within the site.
CONDITION 3: No above ground development shall commence unless and until full details of the colour, finish and texture of all new materials to be used on all external surfaces, together with samples of the render, roof tiles and cladding have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall not be carried out other than in accordance with the approved details. REASON: To ensure a satisfactory external appearance and in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality.
