| In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported immediately to the Local Planning Authority. The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation.
No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with:
1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with the Environment Agency's 'Land Contamination: Risk Management' guidance and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place.
2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.
3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
4. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site.
Reason- To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors and in accordance with SWDP21 and SWDP31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan,2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| All hard and soft landscaping works, including planting, seeding/turfing, surfacing and other hard landscape features, comprised in the approved landscape scheme (reference: 14E), shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. All hard landscaping works shall be completed prior to the first occupation/use of the development.
All planting, seeding and turfing shall be carried out in the first planting season following the first occupation/use of the development.
All planting shall be watered as necessary and competitive weed growth controlled to ensure successful establishment.
Any trees or plants that die, or are removed; or become seriously damaged or diseased within a period of five years from the completion of the planting, shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species.
Reason: To ensure the proposed development does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of South Worcestershire Development Plan, 2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
| No development shall take place until an Ecological Mitigation Compensation and Enhancement Scheme (EMCES) has been drawn up by a suitably qualified ecologist and has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall be based on the recommendations made in the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal report by Brown Fisher Environmental, dated April 2025, and shall include an implementation timetable. The works shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details and timetable.
Reason – To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and for the wider area in accordance with paragraphs 187 and 193 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and to ensure compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and to accord with Policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan,2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
| Prior to the commencement of development hereby permitted, a Lighting Design Strategy for Biodiversity shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The strategy shall be based on Guidance Note 08/23. Bats and Artificial Lighting at Night, by the Bat Conservation Trust and ILP, and shall:
- Identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for nocturnal wildlife and that are likely to cause disturbance in or around their breeding sites and resting places or along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example, for foraging; and
- Show how and where external lighting will be installed, and impacts of internal light spill, (through the provision of appropriate lighting contour plans and technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent nocturnal animals from using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places. This will include the provision of dark corridor conditions for retained trees, hedgerows and other commuting routes.
All lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the strategy and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the strategy. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the local planning authority.

The plan shall also set out where the results of the monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the LEMP are not being met, how contingencies and/or remedial action identified, agreed and to be implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme.
The LEMP will be implemented in accordance with the approved details.
Reason – To ensure that the proposed development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and to ensure that the proposal harmonises with the surroundings in accordance with SWDP 21, SWDP 22 and SWDP 25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan,2016 and accords with the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
