| 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 – jb/alexander21-20-siteplan REV A; jb/alexander21-01; jb/alexander21-02; Jb/alexander21-03; 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 first-floor window within the side elevation of the proposed extension shall be fitted with obscure glazing to a minimum level of privacy equivalent to Pilkington Obscure Glass Level 3, as shown on approved drawing JB/Alexander21-03. The obscure glazing shall be installed prior to the first occupation of the extension and shall thereafter be retained in perpetuity. No additional windows, doors or other openings shall be inserted within the side elevation of the extension without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority. Reason To safeguard the privacy and residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers and to prevent unacceptable overlooking, in accordance with Policy SWDPR28 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review. |
| Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the submitted Water Management Statement shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter. 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. |
| No development above the damp course of the extension shall take place until a percolation test has been carried out in accordance with BRE Digest 365, or H3 of The Building Regulations 2010. The results of the percolation test shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. If the percolation test results show that ground conditions are unsuitable for some, or all, types of infiltration device then an alternative method of surface water disposal will need to be submitted for approval. The agreed recommendations shall be implemented in full prior to the first occupation of the development. Reason: To ensure that the site can be adequately drained in accordance with policy SWDPR39 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review 2026. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
| The Authority would advise the applicant (and their contractors) that they have a legal Duty of Care as regards wildlife protection. The majority of UK wildlife is subject to some level of legal protection through the Wildlife & Countryside Act (1981 as amended) and the Habitats and Species Regulations (2019 as amended), with enhanced protection for special "Higher Status Protected Species" such as all Bat species, Great Crested Newts, Otters, Dormice, Crayfish and reptile species that are present . All nesting birds are legally protected from disturbance at any time of the year. Care should be taken to plan work and at all times of the year undertake the necessary precautionary checks and develop relevant working methods prior to work commencing. If in any doubt it advised that advice from a local professional ecology consultant is obtained. If any protected species or other wildlife is found or disturbed during works then all works should stop and the site made safe until professional ecology advice and any required ‘licences’ have been obtained. Any additional lighting should fully respect locally dark landscapes and associated public amenity and nature conservation interests. |
