Reason: To comply with Part 3 Article 6 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 2015.
3) Any subsequent Reserved Matters application for layout and / or landscaping will include details of the landscaping buffer proposed along the eastern boundary of the site to ensure an appropriate buffer between the application site and the adjacent Old Road Meadow.

Reason: In the interests of visual amenity and nature conservation and to ensure a net gain in biodiversity. (DM3 CSDMP, Chapters 12 and 15 NPPF).
4) The submission of any reserved matters application, pursuant to this outline permission, shall include up to 13 dwellings comprising a mix of housing types and sizes, and shall demonstrate how the proposed mix and tenure types meets identified housing needs. 
 
Reason: To control the amount of dwellings on the site and ensure that the overall mix of dwellings across the site as a whole contains a mix of residential units providing accommodation in a range of types, sizes and affordability, to meet identified housing needs, in accordance with up to date Strategic Housing Market Assessment and/or Local Housing Needs Surveys, in accordance with Policy DM10 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2009); Policy H1 of the Emerging Local Plan and the NPPF.
5) The development hereby approved shall not commence above slab level until details of the intersection between the proposed estate road and the highway have been approved by the Local Planning Authority (to comprise the extension of the existing 5.5m carriageway of Brookmead and its footways) and no building shall be occupied until that junction has been constructed 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.
6) Before the new access is first brought into use, any existing access within the frontage of the land to be developed, not incorporated in the access hereby approved shall be closed in a manner to the Local Planning Authority's written approval and constructed in accordance with the approved details. (See Notes to the Applicant)

Reason: In the interest of road safety and to reduce the number of points at which traffic will enter and leave the public highway.
7) The dwellings hereby permitted shall not be occupied until vehicular parking and turning facilities (including garages where provided) have been provided in accordance with Central Bedfordshire Council's standards (Chapter 1 of the CBC Design Guide and CBC's Highway Construction Standards & Specifications Guidance) and those facilities shall be maintained available for those purposes thereafter.

Reason: To reduce potential highway impact by ensuring that adequate parking and manoeuvring facilities are available within the site.
8) In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development, it shall be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment shall then be undertaken by a competent person, in accordance with 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. A written report of the findings should be forwarded for approval to the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of remedial measures a verification report shall be prepared that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out. No part of the development should be occupied until all remedial and validation works are approved in writing.

Reason: To ensure that no future investigation is required under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
9) Any Reserved Matters application must be supported by a method statement for the creation of new wildlife features such as hibernacula and the erection of bird/bat/bees bricks in buildings/structures and tree, hedgerow, shrub and wildflower planting/establishment has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The content of the method statement shall be informed by an up to date ecological appraisal and include the:
a) purpose and objectives for the proposed works;
b) detailed design(s) and/or working method(s) necessary to achieve stated objectives (including, where relevant, type and source of materials to be used);
c) extent and location of proposed works shown on appropriate scale maps and plans;
d) timetable for implementation, demonstrating that works are aligned with the proposed phasing of construction;
e) persons responsible for implementing the works;

The works shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the approved details and shall be retained in that manner thereafter

Reason: To ensure development is ecologically sensitive and secures biodiversity enhancements in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
10) 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 scheme for on-site foul water drainage works, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The discharge rate from the development will be limited to 2.69l/s, dependant on permission to discharge to this area via IDB Land Drainage Consent. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed drainage Strategy (Ref: package of details within application file.) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018). No dwelling shall be occupied on the site until the surface water drainage and foul water drainage schemes have been fully completed in accordance with the approved details. 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 condition is pre-commencement as the drainage solution is likely to require groundworks which would not be possible if formal construction has already commencement.
11) No building/dwelling shall be occupied until the developer has formally submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority a finalised 'Maintenance and Management Plan' for the entire surface water drainage system, inclusive of any adoption arrangements and/or private ownership or responsibilities, and that the approved surface water drainage scheme has been correctly and fully installed as per the final approved details.

Reason: To ensure that the implementation and long term operation of a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) is in line with what has been approved, in accordance with Written Statement HCWS161, 18th December 2014.
12) Prior to commencement of work on site a Sustainability Statement is to be submitted and agreed with the Council in order to demonstrate the development's compliance with policies CS13, DM1 and DM2. Prior to occupation of the first dwelling a Verification Report must be submitted to demonstrate compliance with Policies CS13, DM1 and DM2.

Reason: In order to ensure sustainability of the development and to minimise development's impact on climate, in accordance with Policies: CS13, DM1 and DM2 of the adopted Local Plan and the NPPF. These details are required prior to occupation of the first dwelling.
13) No development shall commence above ground level until a scheme (based on current government policy/guidance at the time of submission) for the provision of electric charging points has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The charging points shall be provided as approved prior to the occupation of the buildings they serve.

Reason: To ensure the development protects and exploits opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of people in accordance with paragraph 105 e) of the National Planning Policy Framework 2019.
14) The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in complete accordance with the details shown on the submitted plans, number 19 035 1000 B.
