Prior to first use of the development hereby approved, in accordance with the recommendations of the Ecological Impact Assessment (August 2023) a minimum four bat boxes should be installed on mature trees to provide additional roosting opportunities for bats. These should be positioned on a southern or western aspect at a height of 3.5m, on a trunk not obscured by foliage and away from sources of illumination.

No development shall take place (including vegetation removal or demolition) until a Biodiversity Management and Monitoring Plan (BMMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The BMMP should be in accordance with the details of habitat enhancements set out in the Biodiversity Impact Assessment (Ecology By Design, dated August 2023) and accompanying biodiversity metric calculation (Ecology by design dated 30/08/2023) . The BMMP should include:
- Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence habitat creation, enhancement and management.
- Extent and location of proposed habitat enhancements.
- Aims and objectives of habitat creation, enhancement and management.
- Detailed method statements showing how habitats will be created and/or enhanced to match the proposed habitats in the Biodiversity Impact Assessment and how they will be managed through time to meet the proposed target condition scores (this could cross reference relevant landscape plans and/or include suitably detailed drawings and cross sections as required).
- Preparation of a work schedule (including an annual work plan capable of being rolled forward over a 30-year period).

The BMMP shall include details of the legal and funding mechanism by which the long-term implementation of the plan will be secured by the developer with the management bodies responsible for its delivery. The plan shall also set out (where the results from monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the BMMP 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.
Thereafter, the habitat enhancement measures shall be developed on site and retained in accordance with the approved details. All enhancements shall be delivered prior to the first use of the development.
Reason: To ensure that habitats are created and managed for biodiversity to maximise their ecological value and deliver a biodiversity net gain, in accordance with Policies ENV2 and ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and paragraphs 187 and 193 of the NPPF.
