These details shall include schedules of new trees and shrubs to be planted (noting species, plant sizes and numbers/densities), the identification of the existing trees and shrubs on the site to be retained (noting species, location and spread), any earth moving operations and finished levels/contours, and an implementation programme. 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.

P24/S1860/DISPrior to the installation of any new external lighting on the site, a sensitive lighting strategy for bats shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The strategy shall:
a) identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for bats and that are likely to cause disturbance in or around their breeding sites or resting places or along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example for foraging; and
b) show how and where external lighting will be installed (through provision of appropriate lighting contour plans 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. If no external lighting is proposed, this should be confirmed in writing to the Local Planning Authority before any works start on site.
