Prior to the construction of any development above slab level a scheme for the landscaping of the site, including the planting of live trees and shrubs, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 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. Reason: To help to assimilate the development into its surroundings in accordance with Policies ENV1, DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

No development above slab level shall take place until a photographic schedule of all materials to be used in the external construction and finishes of the development hereby permitted has been submitted to and 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.

Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, a Biodiversity Enhancement Plan (BEP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The BEP should include: 1. Description and evaluation of features to be managed, including extent and location of the proposed works. 2. Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management. 3. Aims and objectives of management. 4. Method statements providing details of how habitats will be created or enhanced and subsequently maintained, in line with the aims and objectives. These should cross reference relevant landscape plans, include suitably detailed additional drawings and cross sections as required, and describe sources of habitat materials (e.g. plant stock). 5. Method statements providing details of how enhancement features for protected species shall be installed and subsequently maintained, in line with the aims and objectives. These should include plans and drawings showing the location, elevation, orientation and specification of features. Features on the proposed building shall be integrated into its structure to ensure their longevity. A minimum number of features shall be provided on site as follows: one integrated bird nest box for house sparrow Passer domesticus or swift Apusapus, and two integrated bat boxes. 6. Preparation of a work schedule (including an annual work plan capable of being rolled forward over a 30-year period). 7. Details of the body or organization responsible for implementation of the plan. 8. Ongoing monitoring and remedial measures. Thereafter, the habitats and enhancement features shall be developed on site and retained in accordance with the approved details. All enhancements shall be delivered prior to the final occupation of the development. REASON: To ensure that habitats are created and managed for biodiversity to maximise their ecological value and deliver a biodiversity net gain, in accordance with Policies ENV2 and ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan

Prior to first occupation, all carbon reduction energy efficiency measures shall be implemented in accordance with the Energy Statement hereby approved and a Verification Report shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority and approved in writing. The Verification Report shall demonstrate (with photographic evidence) that the energy efficiency measures have been implemented. These measures shall be retained and maintained as such thereafter in accordance with the Energy Statement and Verification Report.

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
