2) All external fencing works hereby permitted shall be carried out in materials as shown on approved plan no.CBC/001.

Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the completed development by ensuring that the development hereby permitted is finished externally with materials to match the existing building in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality.
(Section 12, NPPF)
3) Details of any external lighting to be installed on the site, including the design of the lighting unit, any supporting structure and the extent of the area to be illuminated, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the development commencing. Only the details thereby approved shall be implemented.

Reason:
To protect the amenity of neighbouring residential occupiers from adverse impacts due to obtrusive or spillover light or glare (Chapter 12 NPPF).
4) Prior to development, an Arboricultural Method Statement, prepared by a suitably qualified arboriculturist, shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval, specifying the appropriate tree maintenance work required for the adjacent woodland edge, located along the southeastern boundary of the new sports pitch, in respect of the initial installation and future maintenance of the floodlighting columns. The tree work shall be specified in accordance with BS 3998 : 2010 "Tree Work - Recommendations", and shall only stipulate the minimum work required to facilitate provision and upkeep of the lighting columns, and therefore seek to maximise tree cover by avoiding unnecessary and excessive pruning work. The approved Arboricultural Method Statement shall then be used throughout the entire course of development works, and future site usage of the floodlit sports turf facilities.

Reason:
To ensure that the screening value and visual amenity of the adjacent woodland strip is maximised, and that only the minimum access facilitation pruning and future maintenance work is carried out, thereby preventing unnecessary and excessive pruning works from being undertaken.
