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. Nothing should be stored or placed (including soil), nor shall any ground levels altered, within the fenced area without the previous written consent of the local planning authority. There shall be no burning of any material within 10 metres of the extent of the canopy of any retained tree/hedge. Reason - To prevent existing trees/hedges from being damaged during construction work and to preserve the amenities of the locality. This is in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
No dwelling hereby approved shall be occupied until the access road including the turning head has been laid out in accordance with the approved plans and the first 5.0 metres of the driveway to that house, measured from the edge of the carriageway, has been surfaced in a bound material. Reason - In the interests of highway safety.
No dwelling hereby approved shall be occupied until the access and parking facilities serving that dwelling as shown on the approved plan have been provided. These areas shall thereafter be retained and kept available for their respective approved uses at all times. Reason - In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway.
In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported immediately to the LocalPlanning Authority. The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation. No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with: 1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11' and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place. 2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. 3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 4. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site. Reason - To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.
Prior to the first use/occupation of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the Water Management Statement (Ref: 20/152/WMS) shall be fully implemented and retained thereafter. Reason - To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDP29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
Prior to the first use/occupation of the dwellings hereby permitted, the solar photovoltaic panels shown on the approved drawings and detailed in the submitted Energy Statement (dated 27/02/2024) and Solar Panel Calculations report by Mr Richard Britton BSc (Hons) shall be fully implemented in accordance with the approved details. The combined power output of the solar photovoltaic panels shall be sufficient to deliver a minimum of 13.5kWp. The solar photovoltaic panels shall thereafter be retained in place and in working order at all times unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Reason - In order to reduce the carbon emissions and secure sustainable energy solutions in accordance with Policy SWDP27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
All planting and seeding/turfing shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details in the first planting and seeding/turfing seasons following the completion or first occupation of the development, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which, within a period of five years from the completion of the planting, die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species. The development shall thereafter be managed in accordance with the submitted Green Infrastructure Management Plan dated March 2024. Reason - To ensure the proposed development does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of 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 further information following receipt of the application; - seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions and or the completion of a s.106 legal agreement. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
If it is the Developer's intention to request the County Council, as Highway Authority, to adopt the proposed roadworks as maintainable at the public expense, then details of the layout and alignment, widths and levels of the proposed roadworks, which shall comply with any plans approved under this planning consent unless otherwise agreed in writing, together with all necessary drainage arrangements and run off calculations shall be submitted to the County Council's Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP. No works on the site of the development shall be commenced until these details have been approved and an Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act, 1980, entered into.
It is not known if the proposed roadworks can be satisfactorily drained to an adequate outfall. Unless adequate storm water disposal arrangements can be provided, the County Council, as Highway Authority, will be unable to adopt the proposed roadworks as public highways. The applicant is, therefore, advised to submit the Engineering details referred to in this conditional approval to the County Council's County Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP at an early date to enable surface water disposal arrangements to be assessed.
Drainage arrangements should 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.
