Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2) Prior to the commencement of works above ground level, and notwithstanding the submitted details, details of a crossing point for Bridleway 58 shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval in writing. The crossing details shall include a scheme of traffic calming measures. No building shall be occupied until the traffic calming and crossing details have been constructed in accordance with the approved details. The approved scheme shall be maintained in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the proposed estate road, in accordance with Policy DM3 of the adopted Local Plan and the NPPF.
3) No building shall be occupied until the vehicle parking and turning spaces have been properly surfaced and marked out/provided in accordance with the approved drawing for that building. The spaces shall thereafter be kept available for parking at all times.

Reason: To minimise the potential for on-street parking/reversing on to the highway thereby safeguard the interest of the safety and convenience of road users, in accordance with Policy DM3 of the adopted Local Plan and the NPPF.
4) The proposed cycle parking provision shall be completed and maintained in accordance with the approved details (drawing number 6425 - 116). The cycle provision for each unit shall be fully implemented prior to the first occupation of the associated unit and thereafter retained for this purpose.

Reason:To ensure the provision of adequate cycle parking to meet the needs of occupiers of the proposed development in the interests of encouraging the use of sustainable modes of transport, in accordance with Policy DM3 of the adopted Local Plan and the NPPF.
5) No external lighting shall be erected or installed on any part of the site until details of a suitable lighting design scheme and impact assessment devised to eliminate any detrimental effect caused by obtrusive light from the development on neighbouring land use for that part of the site have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be prepared by a suitably qualified lighting engineer in accordance with relevant publications and standards. Only the details thereby approved for that part of the site shall be implemented.

If within a period of 12 months following the first use of the lighting columns the planning authority required the alignment of the light to be adjusted and or hoods or shields to be fitted, this shall be carried out in accordance with the agreed scheme within 7 days of official notification. The means of illumination shall thereafter be implemented only in accordance with the agreed scheme.

Reason: To protect the future neighbouring occupiers from light pollution associated with the use of the business park.
6) No development shall take place above ground level until a scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority for the provision of fire hydrants at the development. Prior to the first occupation of the dwellings the fire hydrants serving that development shall be installed as approved. Thereafter the fire hydrants shall be retained as approved in perpetuity.

Reason: In order to ensure appropriate access to fire hydrants for use in the event of emergency in accordance with Policy DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2009 and Section 12 of the NPPF.
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 from the development will be limited to an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed FRA and Drainage Strategy (Ref: C-10763-RP-001_4 27 November 2019) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved.

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 details to be provided to discharge the condition must demonstrate how the relevant informatives have been addressed.

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.
8) No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological resource management (WSARM) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

(ii) A method statement for the preservation in situ and management of archaeological sites and features that have been identified for protection;
(iii) A post-excavation assessment and updated project design (to be submitted within six months of the completion of fieldwork at (i), unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority);(iv) Completion of post-excavation analysis, preparation of site archive ready for deposition at a store approved by the Local Planning Authority, completion of an archive report, and submission of a publication report (to be completed within two years of the completion of fieldwork at (i), unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Planning Authority);
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 developers to record and advance of understanding of the significance of any heritage assets affected by development before they are lost (wholly or in part).
9) The development shall be constructed in accordance with the Sustainability Statement dated 7 August 2020 and shall as a minimum meet the requirements of policies CS13, DM1 and DM2 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Plan (2009).
