CONDITION 4: Access to the site for vehicles from the public highway shall not be made other than at the positions identified on the approved drawing (211484-02). REASON: In the interest of highway safety
CONDITION 5: The development shall not be occupied until the proposed parking and turning facilities have been laid out and constructed in accordance with the approved plans and thereafter be set aside and retained for those purposes. REASON: In the interest of highway safety
CONDITION 6: No structure, tree, shrub or plantings shall be erected, planted or retained within 2.4 metres of the near edge of the public highway carriageway fronting the site exceeding, or likely to exceed at maturity, a height of 0.9 metres above the level of the public highway carriageway. Visibility is considered acceptable at the site, this condition relates solely to the retention of such. REASON: In the interest of highway safety
CONDITION 7: No development shall take place until a detailed surface water drainage scheme for the site, based on sustainable drainage principles has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall subsequently be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is completed. The scheme to be submitted shall: 1. Limit the discharge rate generated by all rainfall events up to and including the 1 in 100 year (plus an allowance for climate change) critical rain storm to the QBar Greenfield runoff rate of 2.5l/s for the site in line with the approved surface water drainage strategy (drawing 101, revision P05, dated April 2026). 2. Where the drainage scheme proposes to connect into a 3rd party asset, for example a public sewer, further information should be provided regarding the ownership, purpose, location and condition of this asset along with confirmation of the right to connect into it. This could take the form of land ownership plans showing riparian ownership, land drainage consent, flood risk activity permit or agreement under Section 106 of the Water Industry Act (1991). 3. Provide drawings / plans illustrating the proposed sustainable surface water drainage scheme. The strategy agreed to date may be treated as a minimum and further source control SuDS should be considered during the detailed design stages as part of a ‘SuDS management train’ approach to provide additional benefits and resilience within the design. 4. Provide detail drawings including cross sections, of proposed features such as attenuation features, and outfall structures. These should be feature-specific demonstrating that such the surface water drainage system(s) are designed in accordance with ‘The SuDS Manual’, CIRIA Report C753. 5. Provide detailed, network level calculations demonstrating the performance of the proposed system. This should include: a. Suitable representation of the proposed drainage scheme, details of design criteria used (incl. consideration of a surcharged outfall), and justification of such criteria where relevant. b. Simulation of the network for a range of durations and return periods including the 1 in 2 year, 1 in 30 year and 1 in 100 year plus 40% climate change events c. Results should demonstrate the performance of the drainage scheme including attenuation storage, flows in line with agreed discharge rates, potential flood volumes and network status. Results should be provided as a summary for each return period. d. Evidence should be supported by a suitably labelled plan/schematic (including contributing areas) to allow suitable cross checking of calculations and the proposals. 6.Provide plans such as external levels plans, supporting the exceedance and overland flow routeing provided to date. Such overland flow routing should: a. Demonstrate how runoff will be directed through the development without exposing buildings to flood risk. b. Consider finished floor levels and thresholds in relation to exceedance flows and existing surface water flood risk on site. The LLFA recommend FFLs are set to a minimum of 150mm above surrounding ground levels. c. Recognise that exceedance can occur during any storm event due to a number of factors therefore exceedance management should not rely on calculations demonstrating no flooding. REASON: To prevent the increased risk of flooding; to improve and protect water quality; and to improve habitat and amenity
CONDITION 8: No occupation shall take place until a Verification Report for the installed surface water drainage system for the site based on the approved Flood Risk Assessment (Revision 02 dated 10.06.2026) has been submitted in writing by a suitably qualified independent drainage engineer and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall include: 1. Demonstration that any departure from the agreed design is in keeping with the approved principles. 2. As-built drawings of the drainage system. 3.

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.
INFORMATIVE 8: Condition number 4 may require works to be carried out within the limits of the public highway. Before commencing such works the applicant / developer must serve at least 28 days notice under the provisions of Section 184 of the Highways Act 1980 on the Highway Authority‘s Area Team. This process will inform the applicant of the procedures and requirements necessary to carry out works within the Highway and, when agreed, give consent for such works to be carried out under the provisions of S184. In addition, it should be noted that the costs incurred by the County Council in the undertaking of its duties in relation to the construction of the works will be recoverable from the applicant/developer. The Area Team may be contacted by telephone: (01926) 412515. In accordance with Traffic Management Act 2004 it is necessary for all works in the Highway to be noticed and carried out in accordance with the requirements of the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991 and all relevant Codes of Practice. Before commencing any Highway works the applicant / developer must familiarise themselves with the notice requirements, failure to do so could lead to prosecution. Application should be made to the Street Works Manager, Budbrooke Depot, Old Budbrooke Road, Warwick, CV35 7DP. For works lasting ten days or less, ten days’ notice will be required. For works lasting longer than 10 days, three months’ notice will be required.
INFORMATIVE 11: Section 163 of the Highways Act 1980 requires that water will not be permitted to fall from the roof or any other part of premises adjoining the public highway upon persons using the highway, or surface water to flow – so far as is reasonably practicable – from premises onto or over the highway footway. The developer should, therefore, take all steps as may be reasonable to prevent water so falling or flowing.
INFORMATIVE 10: Pursuant to Section 149 and 151 of the Highways Act 1980, the applicant/developer must take all necessary action to ensure that mud or other extraneous material is not carried out of the site and deposited on the public highway. Should such deposits occur, it is the applicant's/developer's responsibility to ensure that all reasonable steps (e.g. street sweeping) are taken to maintain the roads in the vicinity of the site to a satisfactory level of cleanliness.
INFORMATIVE 9: Prior to commencement of the development, the applicant is required to enter into an agreement with the Highway Authority under Section 59 of the Highways Act 1980. Prior to works taking place on site and following completion of the development, a joint survey shall be undertaken with the County’s Highways Area Surveyor to agree the condition of the public highway. Should the public highway be damaged or affected as a consequence of the works being undertaken during the development of the site, the developer will be required to undertake work to remediate this damage as agreed with the Highways Area Surveyor.
INFORMATIVE 7: As the proposed sewer connection is located outside of the site red line boundary within the highway, the applicant should ensure the necessary permissions are gained from both the Highway Authority and Severn Trent Water as the appropriate Water Authority.
INFORMATIVE 6: As outlined within the condition, the strategy should be treated as a minimum at this stage of the design. Further consideration should be given during the next stage of the design to incorporate additional, localised source control SuDS such as green roofs, rain-gardens and tree pits as part of a ‘SuDS management train’ approach to provide water quality, amenity and bio-diversity benefits and increase the resilience within the design. Reference is also made to the National Standards for Sustainable Drainage and our Flood Risk Guidance for Developmenti (updated June 2023) with more details and examples of SuDS which can be incorporated at later stages of design. At the ‘discharge of condition’ stage proposals for surface water drainage should be approaching a level of detail suitable for tender or construction. Documentation should show the drainage scheme including SuDS features, specific details (e.g. standard details or cross sections) and demonstrate the performance and of the system through calculations and exceedance management respectively. Such scheme should be in line with the original planning application/permission and where significant changes are made, justification should be provided.
CONDITION 17: The following will be adhered to in relation to public footpath RB15: • No site security fencing may be erected on public footpath RB15 (unless closed by legal order). • The applicant must carry out remedial works to make good any damage or address any flooding on the surface of public footpath RB15 caused by the development and any remedial works must be completed to the satisfaction of the Highway Authority prior to completion of the development.

INFORMATIVE 5: The applicant should also be aware of the following requirements which we request are carried as advisory notes on any consent: • Public footpath RB15 must remain open and available for public use at all times unless closed by legal order, so must not be obstructed by parked vehicles or by materials during works. • Any disturbance or alteration to the surface of public footpath RB15 requires the prior authorisation of Warwickshire County Council's Rights of Way team, as does the installation of any new gate or other structure on the public footpath.
CONDITION 18: Prior to the installation of any fixed plant, machinery, or equipment, or the commencement of operational use of the development, a detailed noise assessment shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The assessment shall be undertaken in accordance with BS 4142:2014+A1:2019 and shall consider the cumulative impact of all proposed plant, equipment, and operational activities associated with the development. The assessment shall demonstrate that the cumulative rating level (LAr, Tr) of noise emitted from the development will not increase that at the nearest noise-sensitive receptor, or at an agreed representative location. Where necessary, details of mitigation measures to achieve compliance shall be provided and implemented in full prior to first use of the development and thereafter retained. REASON: To protect residential amenity.
CONDITION 19: No unit hereby approved shall be occupied until a Travel Plan Co-ordinator (TPC) has been appointed to oversee the implementation, management, monitoring, reporting and updating of an agreed Workplace Travel Plan (WTP) for that unit. The TPC role shall be maintained for the duration of the approved WTP, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. REASON: To encourage sustainable travel and ensure the site achieves its Travel Plan aims.
CONDITION 20: Within 6 months of the occupation of a unit, a detailed Workplace Travel Plan (WTP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority.
