Prior to the occupation of the security huts, details (including specification, position, height, orientation) of a scheme of features to be provided for protected and priority species, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall be designed in conjunction with a suitably qualified ecologist. A minimum number of biodiversity enhancement features shall be provided onsite as follows: one bat box on a retained tree. and one bird nest box on a retained tree. Thereafter, the development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details. All features shall be provided prior to first use and shall be retained and maintained thereafter. Reason: To secure biodiversity enhancements onsite, in accordance with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and The South and Vale Joint Design Guide and paragraphs 187d and 193d of the NPPF Related application(s): P25/S1836/DIS

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.

The strategy shall protect the conservation status of local bat populations, by: a) identifying those areas/features on site that are likely to be both 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) demonstrating that the design and siting of the proposed lighting installation will not disturb or prevent bats using the areas identified in a) (through provision of appropriate lighting plans, isolux contour maps and technical specifications) All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the approved strategy. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without the written approval of the local planning authority.

The tree protection details as shown on the approved Arboricultural Impact Assessment and drawing 192280-559-DRW-TPP 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.

The developer shall confirm in writing to the Local Planning Authority the presence of any unsuspected contamination encountered during the development. In the event of any contamination to the land and/or water being encountered, no development shall continue until a programme of investigation and/or remedial works to include methods of monitoring and certification of such works undertaken. Where land contamination investigation/remedial works are required this must be carried out by a competent person in accordance with current government and Environment Agency Guidance and Approved Codes of Practice such as Land Contamination: Risk Management 2020 and BS10175:2011 +A2:2017 'Investigation of potentially contaminated sites' and submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.
