Reason: To comply with Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2) No development shall take place until approval of the details of the appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of the development within that area (herein called 'the reserved matters') has been obtained in writing from the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To comply with Part 3 Article 6 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 2015.
3) Prior to the commencement of the development, hereby approved, details of how the development will achieve a reduction in carbon emissions of at least 10% more than required by current Building Regulations through the use of on-site or near-site renewable or low carbon technology energy generation shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority, for approval in writing. The development shall be carried out as approved.

Reason: Required prior to commencement to ensure the development is energy sufficient and sustainable in accordance with Policies CS13, DM1 and MD2 of the adopted Local Plan, Policy HQ1 of the emerging Local Plan, the adopted Design Guide and the NPPF.
4) No development shall commence until a foul water strategy has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. No dwellings shall be occupied until the works have been carried out in accordance with the approved foul water strategy and retained thereafter.

Reason: To prevent environmental and amenity problems arising from flooding, in accordance with Policies CS13, CS14, DM2 and DM3 of the adopted Local Plan, Policies CC3 and HQ1 of the emerging Local Plan and the NPPF. This information is required prior to commencement, as any works may adversely impact or limit the ability of an acceptable foul water strategy to be implemented.
5) No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological investigation; that includes provision for post excavation analysis and publication, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development hereby approved shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme.
Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure appropriate archaeological investigation in advance of development would be contrary to 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).
6) Prior to the commencement of development, an Ecological Enhancement Strategy (EES) shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval in writing. The EES shall contain the following:

Review of the site potential and constraints as informed by species survey;
Purpose and conservation objectives for the proposed works;
Detailed working methods to achieve stated objectives including locations of integrated bird and bat boxes to be erected in accordance with RSPB and BCT guidelines on appropriate scale maps and plans;
Details of lighting considerations to prevent disturbance to bats;
Type and source of materials to be used where appropriate , e.g. native species of local provenance;
Timetable for implementation demonstrating that works are aligned with proposed phasing of development;
Persons responsible for implementing the works;
Details of initial aftercare and long-term maintenance.

The EES shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details and all features shall be retained in that manner thereafter.

Reason: To secure a net gain in terms of biodiversity, in accordance with DM3 of the adopted Local Plan, Policy HQ1 of the emerging Local Plan and the NPPF. These details are required prior to the commencement of development, as any construction may limit the ability of the development to provide net gains in terms of biodiversity.
7) Prior to the commencement of the development, hereby permitted, a detailed surface water drainage design shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority, for approval in writing. The design shall prioritize above ground storage and conveyance using SUDS and shall be fully implemented as approved and subsequently maintained in accordance with the timing / phasing arrangements embodied within the scheme or within any other period as may subsequently be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme to be submitted for approval shall include:

1. Plans and calculations showing sufficient disposal, storage and conveyance of surface water (up to and including for the 1in100 year event + a 40% allowance for climate change).
2. Results of site-specific infiltration testing to support the detailed design of infiltration devices (carried out in accordance with BRE 365).
3. Details of the full design of the drainage scheme in its entirety and use of SUDS, including the treatment of surface water to manage pollution.
4. Overview of proposed construction of the system and any phasing of works.
5. Confirmation of the management and maintenance arrangements for the surface water drainage system in its entirety, including any split in public and private responsibilities.

Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site for the lifetime of the development in accordance with the NPPF and the Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (DEFRA, 2015); and to ensure that the implementation and long term operation of a sustainable drainage system is in line with what has been approved, in accordance with Written statement - HCWS161. These details are required prior to the commencement of development, as any construction may limit the ability of the development to provide adequate SuDS arrangements.
8) Prior to the commencement of development, details of the junction of the proposed vehicular access with the highway shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority, for approval in writing. The details shall include 2 metre wide footways on both side of the proposed new carriageway and no building shall be occupied until the road connection with St Andrews Way has been constructed in accordance with the approved details.
