| If the PV panels hereby permitted are no longer required for the purposes of energy production, they shall be dismantled and all materials removed from the site, including all fixtures, fittings, frame and any other associated infrastructure/development within 6 months from the date of cessation of the use. Reason - To preserve the character of the area in accordance with Policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 and the character of the Conservation Area in accordance with Policies SWDP6 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (February 2016). |
| Prior to the first use of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the submitted Water Management Statement shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter.

| Buildings, and particularly roofs and the spaces underneath them, are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2010, the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to deliberately kill or injure a bat, to disturb or destroy a bat roost or to obstruct an entrance to a roost. If evidence of bats is found, work should stop immediately and an ecological consultant contacted for advice on the best way to proceed. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:- - seeking further information following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application. |
