Condition Details / Information Notes
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission/consent, the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans/drawings/documents – 250129_P03_R3 Proposed Roof Plan 250129_P04_R4 Proposed Elevations 250129_P05_R4 Proposed Sections AA & BB 250129_P06_R2 Proposed Section CC 250129_S01_R1 Site Plan 250129_E01 Existing Ground Floor Plan 250129_E02 Existing First Floor Plan 250129_E03 Existing Roof Plan 250129_E04 Existing Elevations 250129_L01 Location Plan 250129_P01_R2 Proposed Ground Floor Plan 250129_P02_R4 Proposed First Floor Plan Reason: To define the permission in accordance with Policy SWDP1 and SWDP2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied/first used until full details of all 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 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 SWDP28, SWDP29 and SWDP 30 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Prior to the first use / occupation of the development hereby approved, 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, facing south (or southwest/southeast), and not placed above windows. 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.
Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: - seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
The proposed development is situated within 250m of a registered landfill or significant area of unknown filled ground which potentially could produce landfill gas. 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 existinggas 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.
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, 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.
The applicant must be aware of their obligations towards the public right of way as follows: No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without written consent (this includes laying concrete, tarmac or similar) No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public. Building materials must not be stored on the right of way. Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the public's use of the right of way. No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority. The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.
