| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
| A bat box shall be installed within the land ownership of the site (e.g. Ibstock enclosed bat box, Habibat bat box, Schwegler Wall-mounted Bat Shelter 2FE, Schwegler 2F Bat Box). The box should be installed at least 4m above ground-level, and not placed above windows. The roosting feature shall be installed before the first use of any part of the development. Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
| Before the first occupation of the building(s) hereby permitted the first floor window on the west elevation serving a bathroom and the first floor window on the east elevation at 24 Alexander Avenue shall be fitted with Pilkington Level 4 obscured glazing or equivalent and shall be permanently retained in that condition thereafter.

| Informative for an extension within 250m of landfill: The above site has been reviewed for any potential contamination issues.

The applicant is advised to consider incorporating matching landfill gas protection measures within the foundations of the proposed extension(s), so as not to compromise any existing gas protection measures which may have been installed in the existing building. If the existing building has no protection measures currently there is no need to install gas protection measures within the proposed extension. REASON To ensure that the risks to buildings and their occupants from landfill sites are adequately addressed. |
