| The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied/first used until full details of all foul and surface water drainage systems to serve the development have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved drainage works shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the first occupation/use of the development hereby permitted and shall be retained thereafter. Reason: To ensure development would not result in unacceptable risk of pollution or harm to the environment and to ensure the proposed development does not exacerbate flood risk and deals with surface water run-off from the site in a sustainable manner, in accordance with policies SWDPR38, SWDPR39 and SWDPR40 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Prior to the first use / occupation of the development hereby approved, details of a bat roosting feature and bird nesting box shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details to be submitted shall include an implementation timetable to be agreed. These features shall be provided in accordance with the approved details and in accordance with the approved timetable.

| Bat Informative: 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 2017 (as amended), the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to damage or destroy a roost (even if bats are not occupying the roost at the time), to deliberately kill or injure a bat, disturb a bat in its roost, or intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a bat roost. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under these acts. Any removal of roof and wall coverings including roof tiles, slates, hanging tiles, timber boarding, timber window frames, soffit boxes and facia boards shall be carried out carefully by hand. If bats or any sign of bats such as an accumulation of droppings are encountered at any stage of work, work must cease immediately and advice sought from an appropriately licenced bat ecologist on how to proceed lawfully. All contractors working on site should be made aware of the advice and provided with the contact details of a relevant ecological consultant. |
| Bird Informative The applicant is reminded that, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended (section 1), it is an offence to remove, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this act. |
