10) No development hereby permitted shall take place except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Council's organisational licence (WML-OR24-2020-1) and with the proposals detailed on plan 'Land Adjacent to 66 Totternhoe Road, Eaton Bray: Impact Map for great crested newts district licensing (Version 2)', dated 10th December 2021.

Reason: In order to ensure that adverse impacts on great crested newts are adequately mitigated and to ensure that site works are delivered in full compliance with the organisational licence (WML-OR24-2020-1). (Section 15, NPPF)
11) Prior to the construction of vehicular parking areas associated with the approved dwellings, a scheme for the charging of electric and ultra-low emission vehicles shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall accord with Policy T5 of CBLP and shall include the following:
Details of active charging posts or passive provision such as cabling and electricity supply for each dwelling
Timescales / triggers for implementation of the scheme.

The development shall be completed in accordance with these approved details including the agreed timescales / triggers.

Reason: To assist with the transition to low-emission vehicles in line with Policy T5 of the CBLP and paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
12) Part A: No development shall take place until an archaeological written scheme of investigation (WSI) that adopts a staged approach, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

The WSI shall include the following components:

a method statement for an intrusive archaeological trial trench evaluation of the site, including provision for post excavation reporting, archive preparation and archive deposition
an outline method statement for the excavation of any archaeological remains found during the trial trench evaluation
an outline strategy for post-excavation assessment, analysis and publication for the excavation work, including details of the timetable for each stage of the post-excavation works

Items 2, and 3 of Part A of this condition will be finalised following the completion of the trial evaluation and the approval of the evaluation report by the Archaeology Team. The updated WSI for the excavation will then be approved by the Archaeology Team before any further fieldwork or development is undertaken. Should no archaeological remains be recorded during the evaluation it will not be necessary to complete Items 2, and 3 of Part A and the applicant or developer can proceed with completing the work to discharge Part B.

Part B: The said development shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved WSI and finalised excavation method statement and this condition shall only be fully discharged when:

it has been confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority that all stages (evaluation, excavation and if appropriate any monitoring) of the archaeological fieldwork have been completed
a Post-Excavation Assessment Report and an Updated Project Design or a final archaeological report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall be done within twelve months of the completion of the archaeological fieldwork unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority
the post-excavation analysis as specified in the approved Updated Project Design (if a UPD is prepared); the preparation of the site archive ready for deposition at a store approved by the Local Planning Authority; the preparation of an archive report and the submission of a publication report have all been completed. This shall be done within two years of the conclusion of the archaeological fieldwork unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority

This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure archaeological investigation in advance of development, to secure the long term future of the archive and to make the record of that work publicly available would be contrary to policy HE1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan 2015-2031 (adopted July 2021) and paragraph 205 of the National Planning Policy Framework 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).
13) Development shall not begin until details of the junction of the proposed vehicular access with the highway have been approved by the Local Planning Authority and no building shall be occupied until the 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 the premises. (Section 9, NPPF)
14) Before the access is first brought into use, a triangular vision splay shall be provided on each side of the new access drive and shall be 2.8m measured along the back edge of the highway from the centre line of the anticipated vehicle path to a point 2.0m measured from the back edge of the footway into the site along the centre line of the anticipated vehicle path. The vision splay so described and on land under the applicant's control shall be maintained free of any obstruction to visibility exceeding a height of 600mm above the adjoining footway level.

Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic that is likely to use it. (Section 9, NPPF)
15) No dwelling shall be occupied until visibility splays have been provided on each side of the junction of the access road with the public highway. The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.4m measured along the centre line of the proposed access road from its junction with the channel of the public highway and 90m measured from the centre line of the proposed access road along the line of the channel of the public highway. The vision splays required shall on land under the applicant's control be maintained free of any obstruction exceeding a height of 1.05.

Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic that is likely to use it. (Section 9, NPPF)
16) Development shall not begin until details of a scheme showing the provision of a 1.8m wide footway across the entire frontage of the site has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority and no dwelling shall be occupied until the footway has been constructed in accordance with approved details. Any Statutory Undertakers equipment or street furniture shall be re-sited to provide an unobstructed footway.

Reason: In the interests of road safety and pedestrian movement. (Section 9, NPPF)
17) Before the development herby permitted is first occupied or brought into use, the scheme for parking, garaging and manoeuvring shown on Drawing No 06052 (D) 199 Rev A shall be completed and that area shall not thereafter be used for any other purpose.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn clear of the highway to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the adjoining highway.(Section 9, NPPF)
18) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995, or any amendments thereto, the garage accommodation on the site shall not be used for any purpose, other than as garage accommodation, 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. (Section 9, NPPF)
19) Before the premises are first occupied all on site vehicular areas shall be surfaced in a manner to the Local Planning Authority's approval so as to ensure satisfactory parking of vehicles outside highway limits. Arrangements shall be made for surface water from the site to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge into the highway.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction, and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the premises. (Section 9, NPPF)
20) The turning space for vehicles illustrated on the approved site layout plan Drawing No 06052 (D) 199 Rev A shall be constructed before any of the dwellings hereby permitted are first occupied/the development is first brought into use.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn outside the highway limits thereby avoiding the reversing of vehicles on to the highway. (Section 9, NPPF)
