The scheme shall be implemented prior to the first occupation or use of the development hereby approved and thereafter be maintained in accordance with the approved scheme. In the event of any of the trees or shrubs so planted dying or being seriously damaged or destroyed within 5 years of the completion of the development, a new tree or shrub or equivalent number of trees or shrubs, as the case may be, of a species first approved by the Local Planning Authority, shall be planted and properly maintained in a position or positions first approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To help to assimilate the development into its surroundings and to assist in biodiversity net gain on site in accordance with Policies ENV1, ENV2, ENV3, DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

In respect of the foundation design, any material change from that shown on the technical plans for the annexe submitted at planning (ref: S-01-1 S-01-4), that would have an adverse impact on the rooting environment of nearby trees would be subject to Council approval.

Reason: To minimise visible light transmittance and prevent illumination and light spill for the protection of the appearance of the area, the environment and wildlife, and local residents from light pollution in accordance with Policies ENV1 and ENV12 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The first floor window in the southern elevation of the annexe hereby permitted shall be glazed in obscure glass with a minimum of level 3 obscurity, and shall be fixed shut with the exception of a top hung openable fanlight (or other means of opening to be first agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority) prior to the first occupation of the accommodation and it shall be retained as such thereafter.
