Planning Application Details

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, 2, 3, 5, 6, 15, 16, 120, 130, 1, 4, 14b, 110, 1000, 200, 201 and VIS-004b, 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.

Prior to the commencement of development a full surface water drainage scheme based on full infiltration unless evidenced exhausted, including details of the size, position, hydraulic calculations and construction of drainage works, shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The surface water drainage strategy must accommodate a 1:10 year storm + 40% CC as a minimum. The rain water harvesting proposal would be acceptable, however this must be informed by the appropriate calculations (i.e causeway flow, BRE 365 digest) and soakaways must be provided as an outflow as rain water harvesting on its own, is not acceptable due to no outflow being contained. If the applicant can provide hydraulic calculations to accommodate a 1:10 year storm + 40% CC either within the water tanks only or and soakaway, accompanied by a drainage plan with RWP, tanks and soakaways, FFL and drainage levels shown. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of surface water drainage and to ensure flooding and pollution is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035. Related application(s): P25/S1248/DIS

Prior to the commencement of development a full foul water drainage scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include details of the size, position and construction of the drainage scheme, percolation testing undertaken in accordance with BS 6297, hydraulic calculations, drainage layout with levels and construction details. Please note that the PTP must conform with BS EN 12566. Thereafter the scheme as approved shall be implemented prior to the occupation of the development hereby approved. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of foul water drainage and to ensure flooding and pollution is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035. Related application(s): P25/S1248/DIS

Prior to the commencement of the development above new slab level, 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 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 or swift Apus apus, 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 be retained and maintained thereafter. Reason: To secure biodiversity enhancements onsite, in accordance with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan, The South and Vale Joint Design Guide and paragraphs 187d and 193d of the NPPF Related application(s): P25/S1248/DIS

No development shall take place, including vegetation clearance, demolition or ground works, unless and until a Construction Method Statement for protected species is 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: 1. Nesting birds (including vegetation clearance timings and/or arrangements for ecological supervision) 2. Reptiles (including details of a directional two-stage cutting regime to encourage any reptiles out of the works area, rules for siting building materials and waste to avoid them being used as temporary refuges). The Construction Method Statement shall include the procedure to be followed in each case if a protected species is found on site. 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 . Related application(s): P25/S1248/DIS

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 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. Reason: To avoid impacts on bats from insensitive external lighting in line with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan Related application(s): P25/S1248/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. 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.
