Reason: To ensure the proposal delivers satisfactory ecological gains in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
7) 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 shall be submitted and agreed as part of this drainage strategy. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed drainage Strategy (Ref: Technical update note Sep2019 E3202/TN1/tjb/30092019 and FRA E3202-FRA-0317-Rev0 by Wormald Burrows 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.
The applicant should address the following points 1, 2, 3, and 4 when submitting details to discharge the condition:
Raingardens should be maximised to enhance the drainage, storage, general area and arrival where possible.
We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the development wide scheme.
We expect the use of the SuDS management train, single point SuDS will be challenged. Where the use of permeable surfacing is proposed, this should be designed in accordance with the 'CIRIA RP992 The SuDS Manual Update: Paper RP992/28: Design Assessment Checklists for Permeable/Porous Pavement'. The addition of raingardens (drawing RDC 1125-102) is a welcome relief from the hard areas.

11) The planting and landscaping scheme shown on approved Drawing GL1172_01A shall be implemented by the end of the full planting season immediately following the completion and/or first use of any separate part of the development (a full planting season shall mean the period from October to March). The trees, shrubs and grass shall subsequently be maintained for a period of five years from the date of planting and any which die or are destroyed during this period shall be replaced during the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.

Reason: To ensure an acceptable standard of landscaping.
(Sections 12 & 15, NPPF)
12) No building shall be occupied until the junction of the proposed vehicular access with the highway has been constructed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises.
13) The proposed vehicular access shall be surfaced in bituminous or other similar durable material as may be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before the premises are occupied. Arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the site to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge into the highway.

Reason: To avoid the carriage of mud or other extraneous material or surface water from the site into the highway so as to safeguard the interest of highway safety.
14) Before the premises are occupied all on site vehicular parking areas shall be surfaced in a stable and durable materials in accordance with details to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the site to soak away within the site so that it does not discharge into the highway or into the main drainage system.

Reason: To avoid the carriage of mud or other extraneous material or surface water from the site so as to safeguard the interest of highway safety and reduce the risk of flooding and to minimise inconvenience to users of the premises and ensure satisfactory parking of vehicles outside highway limits.
15) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995, or any amendments thereto, the parking provision on the site, including the visitor parking spaces shall not be used for any purpose, other than as parking provision unless permission has been granted by the Local Planning Authority on an application made for that purpose.

Reason: To retain off-street parking provision and thereby minimise the potential for on-street parking which could adversely affect the convenience of road users.
16) If the proposed road is not constructed to the full length and layout illustrated on the approved plan, a temporary turning space for vehicles shall be constructed within the site in a position to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before any building taking access from the road is occupied.

Reason: To avoid the need for vehicles to reverse into or from the highway in the interest of road safety.
17) Prior to the construction of vehicular parking areas associated with the approved dwellinghouses, a scheme for the charging of electric vehicles shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Subsequently, the development shall be completed in accordance with these approved details.
