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, 0011, 0014, 0012, 0013, 090 PA 008, 090 PA 009, 090 PA 006, 009, 090 PA 005, 090 PA 007, 090 PA 002, I0422 T and 090 PA 001 A, except as controlled or modified by conditions of this permission.

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, DES2 and ENV1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the commencement of development, with the exception of any demolition, a full surface water drainage scheme in accordance with the surface water drainage hierarchy as set out in Part H of the Building Regulations, including details of the size, position and construction of drainage works, shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The drainage scheme shall be designed to accommodate a 1 in 100 year storm + 40% CC and shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to the occupation of the development hereby approved. It should be noted that SODC's Karstic susceptibility model identifies solution features within the immediate proximity. Therefore, the drainage scheme shall be supported by a "risk of subsidence assessment" undertaken by a Geotechnical Engineer. Intrusive dynamic probe testing may need to be undertaken to assess the risk of voids in the underlying chalk. In accordance with Ciria C574 - in areas where dissolution features are known to be prevalent, soakaways should be avoided altogether, however if unavoidable they should be sited at least 20m away from any foundations. Where chalk is of low density, soakaways should be at least 10m away from any foundations. If 20m offsets for soakaways are required, it must be demonstrated that a 20m offset is available to position a soakaway from all on site and off site building foundations. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of surface water drainage and to ensure flooding and risk of subsidence is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with Policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The existing parking and turning areas shown on plan reference 090 PA 002 shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking of vehicles associated with the dwelling hereby permitted at all times unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
