Reason: To define the permission in accordance with policies SWDPR01 and SWDPR03 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026 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 development would 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. |
| Development shall not begin until visibility splays are provided from a point 0.6 metres above carriageway level at the centre of the access to the application site and 2.4m back from the nearside edge of the adjoining carriageway (measured perpendicularly), for a distance of 128.7m to the west and 142.2m to the east, measured along the nearside edge of the adjoining carriageway. Nothing shall be planted, erected and/ or allowed to grow on the triangular area of land so formed which would obstruct the visibility described above.
REASON: In the interests of highway safety, in accordance with SWDPR06 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| No Development, other than the formation of a new access, shall commence until the existing vehicular access to the site has been closed, its use permanently abandoned and the verge reinstated in accordance with details which shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
REASON: In the interests of highway safety, in accordance with SWDPR06 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The Development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until the first 10m of the access into the development, measured from the edge of the carriageway, has been surfaced in a bound material.
REASON: In the interests of highway safety, in accordance with SWDPR06 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The Development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until the proposed access, visibility splays and turning area, as shown on Drawing Number 4781-02H,have been provided. Any proposed change in layout shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter, these areas shall be kept for their intended uses in perpetuity.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway in accordance with policies SWDPR06 and SWDPR28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| This permission does not authorise the Applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by WCC’s Approved Contractor, Ringway Infrastructure Service who can be contacted by email worcestershirevehicle.crossing@ringway.co.uk. The Applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access. |
| Drainage arrangements shall be provided to ensure that surface water from the driveway and/or vehicular turning area does not discharge onto the public highway. No drainage or effluent from the proposed development shall be allowed to discharge into any highway drain or over any part of the public highway. |
| The Applicant's attention is drawn to the need to ensure that the provision of the visibility splays required by this consent is safeguarded in any sale of the application site or part(s) thereof. |
| The granting of this planning permission does not remove any obligations on the applicant to undertake a technical design check of the proposed highway improvement works with the Highway Authority, nor does it confirm detailed design approval by the Highway Authority until the design check process has been concluded. Upon the satisfactory completion of the technical check the design would be suitable to allow relevant conditions imposed under this permission to be discharged but works to the public highway cannot take place until a legal agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 has been entered into to allow the works and the applicant has complied with the requirements of the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991 (NRSWA) and Traffic Management Act 2004. The person or organisation shall follow the necessary procedure by applying to WCC Streetworks Team for road space for a period to be agreed.
WCC normally use Section 278 to allow the developer to employ a contractor and for that contractor to work on the existing public highway in the same way as if WCC were conducting the works.
When any work is undertaken by a party acting on behalf of a developer on the existing adopted highway it will also be necessary to electronically provide notices to WCC (start date, location, workspace area) to allow these works to take place in accordance with NRSWA. Also, details regarding temporary traffic management controls for works in the public highway are to be submitted to WCC for approval using the online application process.
The applicant is urged to engage with WCC as early as possible to ensure that the approval process is started in a timely manner to achieve delivery of the highway works in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions.
The term “highway improvement works” includes, but is not limited to, a proposed junction or access arrangement, highway drainage, street lighting, structures in or adjacent to highway, and any necessary traffic regulation orders or statutory notice. |
| The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations set out in the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal & Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment report carried out by Arbor Vitae dated December 2025 and submitted with this application. In particular:
- Adoption of a sensitive lighting scheme;
- Reasonable Avoidance Measures for Nesting Birds, Great Crested Newt, Badger and Hedgehogs;
- Installation of at least one bird nesting feature on a mature tree or building;
- Installation of at least one bat roosting feature on a mature tree or building.
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.
|
| The development shall not commence until a Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) has been prepared in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan and the approved landscaping scheme and has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. It shall be based on the recommendations made in the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal & Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment report from Arbor Vitae dated December 2025 and shall include:
- A non-technical summary;
- The roles and responsibilities of the people or organisation(s) delivering the HMMP;
- The planned habitat creation and enhancement works to create or improve habitat to achieve the biodiversity net gain in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan;
- The management measures to maintain habitat in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan for a period of 30 years from the completion of development; and
- The monitoring methodology and frequency in respect of the created or enhanced habitat to be submitted to the local planning authority. Notice in writing shall be given to the council when the habitat creation and enhancement works as set out in the HMMP have been completed.
The created and enhanced habitat specified in the approved HMMP shall thereafter be managed and maintained in accordance with the approved HMMP.
Monitoring reports shall be submitted to the local planning authority in writing in accordance with the methodology and frequency specified in the approved HMMP.
The plan shall also set out where the results of the monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the HMMP are not being met, how contingencies and/or remedial action are identified, agreed and implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme.
Reason – To ensure that the development delivers a biodiversity net gain on site in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and SWDPR 01 and SWDPR 30 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026.
|
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the Plan and maintained thereafter in accordance with the approved Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP).
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 SWDPR 01 and SWDPR 30 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| 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 Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority; and
- The planning authority has approved the plan.
Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the biodiversity gain plan must include:
- Information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat;
- The pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
- The post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
- Any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development;
- Any biodiversity credits purchased for the development; and
- Any such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify.
