| 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: Location Plan (dated 22nd December 2025) Individual Elevations A4207-03-O Individual Plan and Sectional Details A4207-02-O Existing Site Plan (dated 26th January 2026) Proposed Site Plan (dated 27th January 2026) 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 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 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,2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| A landscape and ecological management plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the local planning authority prior to the commencement of works of the development. The content of the LEMP shall be guided by the requirement to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain and maintain this after implementation, and shall include the following: a) Description and evaluation of features to be managed; b) Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management; c) Aims and objectives of management; d) Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives; e) Prescriptions for management actions; f) Preparation of a work schedule (including an annual work plan capable of being rolled forward over a five-year period); g) Details of the body or organization responsible for implementation of the plan; h) Ongoing monitoring and remedial measures. The LEMP shall also include details of the legal and funding mechanism(s) by which the long-term implementation of the plan will be secured by the developer with the management body(ies) responsible for its delivery. The plan shall also set out (where the results from monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the LEMP are not being met) how contingencies and/or remedial action will be identified, agreed and implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme. The approved plan 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 the proposal harmonises with the surroundings in accordance with policies SWDP21, SWDP22 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan,2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |

Reason: To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan, 2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The external floodlighting hereby permitted shall not be operated on the premises outside the hours of 08:00hrs to 22:00hrs on any day. Reason - To ensure the proposed development does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with policies SWDP1, SWDP21 and SWDP25 of South Worcestershire Development Plan,2016 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and (b) the planning authority has approved the plan.
