Decision & conditions
752387Decision_Approval_Planning_Permission_8189.pdfPlanning conditions
- 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: - Proposed Floor Plans Drg No. 2112-SK-003D - Proposed Elevations Drg No. 2112-SK-004C - Proposed Block Plan Drg No. 2112-BP-006 Received by the Local Planning Authority 10.03.2026 - Site Location Plan Drg No. 2112-LP-001A Received by the Local Planning Authority 18.03.2026 REASON: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the details of the development are acceptable to the Local Planning Authority.
- CONDITION 3: The facing materials to be used on the external walls and roof shall be as specified on the application form, received by the Local Planning Authority on 16.02.2026 and on plans outlined in Condition 2. REASON: To ensure a satisfactory external appearance, for the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the scheme is in compliance with adopted Local plan policy SDC1.
- INFORMATIVE 1: Buildings of all ages and trees with suitable features (i.e. rot-holes, cracks, fissures) are frequently used by roosting bats. Bats and their ‘roost’ sites are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), making them a Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to recklessly disturb or destroy a known or suspected bat ‘roost’, even if the roost is only occasionally used. Where a bat ‘roost’ is present a license may be necessary to carry out any works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 02080 261089. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately, and the National Bat Helpline must be contacted on 0345 1300 228 for advice on the best way to proceed.
- 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, 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 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 built environment, where natural nesting places can be scarce. Please ensure that the boxes are appropriately sited and not lit at night in the case of bat boxes. Further advice and information can be obtained from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
- INFORMATIVE 4: The applicant is encouraged to incorporate measures to assist in reducing their impact upon the Air Quality Management Area as part of this development. Initiatives could include the installation of an ultra-low emission boiler (<40mg/kWh), increased tree planting/landscaping, solar thermal panels, and the incorporation of electric vehicle charging points on any car parking. More information on plants that can be incorporated into landscaping for green walls and roofs can be found here: https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/application/files/4915/2604/2216/2018-05-11-phytosensor-final-web-ok-compressed_1.pdf Such measures contribute towards improving air quality. Further information can be obtained from Environmental Health on 01788 533857 or email ehcs@rugby.gov.uk
- INFORMATIVE 5: Environmental Services advise that in order to reduce the likelihood of local residents being subjected to adverse levels of noise annoyance during construction, work on site should not occur outside the following hours: - Monday - Friday - 7.30 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. Saturday - 8.30 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. No work on Sundays & Bank Holidays.
