Condition Details / Information Notes
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out and completed in accordance with the following approved plans and associated documents and the specifications and recommendations contained therein, except where otherwise stipulated by conditions attached to this permission: ZL-5017/1 – Location Site Plan ZL-5017/7 – Location and Block Plan ZL-5017/7 – Proposed Ground, Mezzanine Floor Plan & Section ZL-5017/8 – Proposed Elevations Design and Access Statement (dated 4 December 2024) Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to secure a satisfactory form of development in accordance with policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
The development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until the access and parking layout shown on the Proposed Ground Floor Plan, Drawing No. ZL-5017/7 have been provided and marked out and the spaces thus formed shall thereafter be retained for the purposes of parking only at all times. Reason: In the interests of safe and suitable access for all users and the safe operation of the public highway, in accordance with policies SWDP4 and SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016).
Prior to their first use, samples and full particulars of all materials and finishes to be used for areas of windows, openings, walls, railings and hard surfacing shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall not be carried out other than in accordance with the approved details. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory external appearance of the development and that high-quality materials and finishes are used, in accordance with Policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016).
(A) No development shall take place until a programme of archaeological work, including a Written Scheme of Investigation, has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The scheme shall include an assessment of significance and research questions; and: 1) The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording. 2) The programme for post investigation assessment. 3) Provision to be made for analysis of the site investigation and recording. 4) Provision to be made for publication and dissemination of the analysis and records of the site investigation. 5) Provision to be made for archive deposition of the analysis and records of the site investigation. 6) Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the Written Scheme of Investigation. (B) The development shall not be occupied until the site investigation and post investigation assessment has been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) and the provision made for analysis, publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been secured. Reason: In accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 200 and 211 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024 (as amended) and SWDP 6 & 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016).
In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported immediately to the Local Planning Authority. The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation. No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with: 1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with the Environment Agency's 'Land Contamination: Risk Management' guidance and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place. 2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. 3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 4. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site. Reason: To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors, in accordance with SWDP policies 21 and 31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016).
The development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until details of bird and bat boxes for roosting have been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The agreed details of the bird and bat boxes shall then be fully implemented prior to occupation and/or first use of the development permitted and retained thereafter. Reason: To ensure that the development does not impact on, or harm protected species in accordance with policies SWDP22 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
