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, A 2007 610 A, A 2007 600 A, A 2007 601 A, A 2007 614 A, A 2007 601 RevB and A 2007 002 RevB, 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.
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 protect the appearance of the area, the environment and wildlife, and local residents from light pollution in accordance with Policies ENV1, ENV2, ENV3 and ENV12 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
Prior to the commencement of the development above new slab level, 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 designed in conjunction with a suitably qualified ecologist and bird/bat boxes on buildings shall be integrated into the fabric of the development. A minimum number of biodiversity enhancement features shall be provided onsite as follows: one integrated bird nest box for house sparrow Passer domesticus, and one integrated bat box.
Thereafter, the development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details. All features shall be provided prior to first use and shall subsequently be maintained and retained
Reason: To secure biodiversity enhancements onsite, in accordance with Policies ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

P25/S1164/DISPrior to any works starting on site, a Construction Method Statement for great crested newt (GCN) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall be produced by a suitably qualified ecologist and shall describe Reasonable Avoidance Measures to be employed during construction to avoid impacts on any GCN dispersing across the site, including:
a) Appointment of an Ecological Clerk of Works, who will give a toolbox talk to all contractors at the outset of works;
b) Details of ecological supervision and other methods to be followed during removal of any loose debris, brash piles and other features that could provide shelter for GCN.
c) Rules for siting and storage methods of building materials and site waste to minimise risks of GCN using them as temporary refugia (such as use of pallets for materials storage, avoidance of storage on grass and vegetated garden areas, and prompt removal of waste).
d) Procedure to be followed if a newt is discovered during works.
The approved Construction Method Statement shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the construction period strictly in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To avoid impacts on protected species during construction, in line with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan.
