(Policy DM3 of the Core Strategy for the North and Section 12, NPPF)
3) The planting and landscaping scheme shown on approved Drawing Nos. LS-001C, 002C, 003C, 004C, 005C, 006C, 007C, 008C, 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)
4) No dwelling hereby approved shall be occupied, until a Landscape, ecological and Sustainable Drainage System Maintenance and Management Plan for a period of ten years from the date of its delivery has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include details of the management body, who will be responsible for delivering the approved maintenance and management plan. The landscaping and SuDs shall be maintained and managed in accordance with the approved plan following its delivery.

Reason: To ensure that the appearance of the site would be acceptable and a net gain in biodiversity could be retained, in accordance with Policy DM14 & DM15 of the Core Strategy and Sections 14 & 15 of the NPPF.
5) The positioning of the protective fencing details as supplied in support of the application, shall be erected to protect the natural canopy spread and root protection areas of the trees/hedgerows proposed to be retained. The protective fencing shall then be fully implemented before the commencement of any site construction works, and the approved fencing shall remain firmly in place throughout the entire course of development.

Reason: To ensure that a satisfactory standard of landscape protection is fully implemented in the interests of maintaining the health and natural canopy spread of the protected trees. Failure to secure these details prior to commencement of development could result in the unreasonable loss of a trees and landscaping that adds amenity value. (Policy CS16 of the Core Strategy and Section 15 of the NPPF).
6) No development shall take place above slab level, until a sustainability statement has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority demonstrating energy and water efficiency measures. The works shall then be carried out in accordance with the approved details.
