Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, 003, 006, 002, 005, 001 and 004A received on 19 December 2023, 10 July 2025, and 24 July 2025 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 development shall be finished with the samples of materials approved via condition discharge application P24/S2924/DIS.
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.
Within 3 months of this decision a sensitive lighting strategy for bats must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The strategy shall:
a) identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for bats and that are likely to cause disturbance in or around their breeding sites or resting places or along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example for foraging; and
b) show how and where external lighting will be installed (through provision of appropriate lighting contour plans 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. If no external lighting is proposed, this should be confirmed in writing to 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
The approved tree protection details (including fencing and temporary ground protection) listed in the Arboricultural Method Statement dated 19th December 2023 Ref 21_5837_12_05 (R3) by ROAVR group shall remain in place and be 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 development shall accord with the approved scheme for the landscaping of the site approved via condition discharge application P24/S2924/DIS. The approved scheme shall be implemented prior to the first occupation or use as approved within 12 months of the commencement of the development 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 windows shall be installed until details of the specification of the external glazing have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this condition requires the provision of a scheme to minimise visible light transmittance from inside to out. Thereafter, the glazing approved shall be installed and maintained in perpetuity in accordance with the approved details, unless otherwise agreed in writing by 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 policy ENV1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
Prior to first occupation of the dwelling house, all carbon reduction energy efficiency measures shall be implemented in accordance with the energy statement produced by Xpert Energy Installations Ltd and SAP calculations produced by Elmhurst Energy (ref: 000004) 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.
Reason: To ensure high standards of sustainable design and construction in accordance with Policy DES10 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
Prior to the first occupation of the dwelling, hereby approved, the parking and turning areas shall be provided in accordance with drawing no. 004, Rev A, and shall be constructed, laid out, surfaced, drained and completed to be compliant with sustainable drainage (SuDS) principles, and shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking of vehicles associated with the development at all times.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety and in accordance with Policy TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
The dwelling shall not be occupied until an Electric Vehicle Charging Point has been installed.
Reason: To ensure sustainable forms of transport are provided in accordance with Policy TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Classes B and C of Part 1 Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or the equivalent provisions of any order revoking and re-enacting that Order), there shall be no roof alteration to the dwelling hereby permitted without the prior grant of planning permission.
Reason: To safeguard the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining properties and the character of the area in accordance with Policies DES1, DES2 and DES6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
