Reason: To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDPR 39 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Temporary fencing for the protection of all retained trees/hedges on site and trees outside the site whose Root Protection Areas fall within the site shall be erected in accordance with BS 5837:2012 (Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction) before development of any type commences, including site clearance, demolition, materials delivery, vehicular movement and erection of site huts.
Any alternative fencing type or position not strictly in accordance with BS 5837 (2012) must be agreed in writing by the local planning authority prior to the commencement of development.
This protective fencing shall remain in place until the completion of development or unless otherwise agreed in writing with the local planning authority.

- the existing slab and foundations within the root protection areas of retained trees shall be removed manually using suitable hand-held tools;
- no machinery shall enter the root protection areas without the prior agreement of the appointed arboricultural clerk of works;
prior to the excavation of new foundations, a trial trench shall be excavated using hand-held tools to establish the presence, size and distribution of roots;
- any necessary root pruning shall be undertaken using sharp, sterile tools in accordance with the approved Arboricultural Method Statement; and
-
where concrete foundations are installed adjacent to retained trees, the working edge shall be lined with an impermeable 1000-gauge polythene membrane.
Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDPR29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted, details of renewable and/or low carbon energy generation measures shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The measures shall contribute to at least 20% of the predicted energy requirements of the development. The details to be submitted shall include:-
- the overall predicted energy requirements of the approved development;
- the predicted energy generation from the proposed renewable/low carbon energy measures; and
- an implementation timetable for the proposed measures.
The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure the development supports the delivery of low carbon/renewable energy and safeguards natural resources in accordance with policy SWDPR37 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| The applicant is advised that the application site lies within a High Risk Zone associated with National Gas Transmission high-pressure gas pipelines and related apparatus.
No works should commence until a Planned Works enquiry, including detailed plans and a description of the proposed works, has been submitted to National Gas Transmission’s Asset Protection Team and a final response confirming that the works may proceed has been received.
Before commencing development, the applicant should establish the precise position and depth of the apparatus and determine whether any easement or wayleave affects the land. All works must comply with the relevant National Gas Transmission and Health and Safety Executive guidance, including requirements relating to excavation, plant movements, access and appropriate clearances.
National Gas Transmission’s Asset Protection Team can be contacted at box.assetprotection@nationalgas.com or on 0800 970 7000. |
| The applicant is advised that any soakaway should be positioned at least 5 metres from any building and 2.5 metres from a site boundary. The suitability of the ground for infiltration should be confirmed before construction.
Where ground conditions are found to be unsuitable for a soakaway, an alternative sustainable surface-water drainage solution will be required. |
| Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Nesting birds are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. The main nesting season lasts approximately from March to September, so work should take place outside these dates if at all possible.
However, birds can nest at any time and the site including any buildings should ideally be checked for their presence immediately before work starts. |
