-Capture methods must be used at suitable habitat features prior to the commencement of the development (i.e. hand/destructive/night searches), which may include the use of temporary amphibian fencing, to prevent newts moving onto a development site from adjacent suitable habitat, installed for the period of the development (and removed upon completion of the development).
-Amphibian fencing and pitfall trapping must be undertaken at suitable habitats and features, prior to commencement of the development.
Reason: In order to adequately mitigate impacts on great crested newts. |
5)
No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological investigation; that includes provision for fieldwork, post excavation analysis and publication, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development hereby approved shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme.'
Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure appropriate archaeological investigation in advance of development would be contrary to paragraph 199 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) that requires the recording and advancement of understanding of the significance of any heritage assets to be lost (wholly or in part).
This request is in line with the requirements of Chapter 16 of the NPPF (February 2019)
This pre-commencement condition has been agreed with the applicant as it is necessary in order to ensure that no unnecessary harm is caused by the commencement of development works. |
6)
No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC), and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The discharge rate from the development will be limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year rate, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed Drainage Strategy (to be submitted) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved. Maintenance will ensure the system functions as designed for the lifetime of the development. Any variation to the connections and controls indicated on the approved drawing which may be necessary at the time of construction would require the resubmission of those details to the Local Planning Authority for approval.
Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with para 163 and 165 of the NPPF and its supporting technical guidance.
This pre-commencement condition has been agreed with the applicant as it is necessary in order to ensure that no unnecessary harm is caused by the commencement of development works. |

The required vision splays shall for the perpetuity of the development remain free of any obstruction to visibility.
Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it. |
10)
Visibility splays shall be provided at the junction of the private road used as access to Chestnut Lodge with the public highway prior to the development of the site at Chestnut Lodge.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off the highway before the gates are opened and to use the turning area to leave the site in forward gear |
12)
Before the premises are occupied all on site vehicular areas shall be surfaced in a stable and durable materials in accordance with details to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
