The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.
Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, 1203-P-001-1D, 1203-P-003-1E, 1203-P-004-1E, 1203-P-007-1E, 1203-P-005-1B, 1203-P-002-1E, 1203-P-010-1E, 1203-S-001, 1203-S-007, 1203-S-006, 1203-S-003, 1203-S-002, 1203-P-020, 1203-S-004, 1203-S-005, 1203-S-010 and 1203-S-001-1, except as controlled or modified by conditions of this permission.
Reason: To secure the proper planning of the area in accordance with Development Plan policies.
The exterior of the development hereby permitted shall only be constructed in the materials specified on the plans/supporting documents hereby approved or in materials which shall previously have been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: In the interests of the visual appearance of the development in accordance with Policies DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
The tree protection details as shown on the approved arboricultural submission (Tree Protection Plan at section 2.4 of the report) shall be put in place prior to any on site works including demolition and thereafter retained in situ for the duration of development.
Reason: To safeguard trees which are visually important in accordance with Policies ENV1, DES1, and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
No external lighting shall be installed on site unless and until a sensitive lighting strategy for bats is submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The strategy shall:
a) identify those areas/features on site that are likely to be both particularly sensitive for bats and vulnerable to disturbance from artificial lighting, including: known or potential breeding sites, resting places, foraging areas or important routes used to access key areas of their territory.
b) show how and where external lighting will be installed (through provision of appropriate lighting plans, isolux contour maps and technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent bats using their territory or having access to their breeding sites or resting places.
All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the strategy. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without the prior consent from the local planning authority.
Reason: To avoid impacts on bats from insensitive external lighting in line with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan
Prior to the commencement of the development above new slab level for the consented extensions, details (including specification, position, height, orientation) of a scheme of biodiversity enhancements to be provided, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall be based on the recommendations within the ecology reports submitted with the planning application (Section 4.12 of the bat Emergence Survey report Wychwood Environmental dated August 2024) and bird/bat boxes on buildings shall be integrated into the fabric of the development where possible. Features provided will be additional and separate to those required as mitigation measures under any protected species licence. A minimum number of biodiversity enhancement features shall be provided onsite as follows: one integrated bird nest box for swift Apus apus or house sparrow Passer domesticus, one bird nest box on a retained tree, and four bat boxes on retained trees. Thereafter, the development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details and all features provided prior to first use.
Reason: To secure biodiversity enhancements onsite, in accordance with Policy ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
