Prior to the commencement of the development above new slab level, details (including specification, position, height, orientation) of a bat box and a bird box (for house sparrow Passer domesticus) to be provided shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The choice and siting of the bat box shall be advised by a suitably qualified ecologist and features shall be integrated into the fabric of the development where possible.

No new or additional 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: 1. 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. 2. 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
