Conditions or Reasons:
3) No above ground building work shall take place until a landscaping scheme to include all hard and soft landscaping and a scheme for landscape maintenance for a period of five years following the implementation of the landscaping scheme have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved scheme 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 means the period from October to March). The trees, shrubs and grass shall subsequently be maintained in accordance with the approved landscape maintenance scheme and any which die or are destroyed during this period shall be replaced during the next planting season.

Reason: To ensure an acceptable standard of landscaping. This is required to be a pre-commencement condition to ensure that the intrinsic character of open countryside is safeguarded, and a suitable standard of amenity is provided to all future residents.
(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) 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.

Reason: This condition is pre-commencement of above slab level as many energy efficiencies relate to fabric first approach which will be required to be ordered in advance of construction start and in the interests of sustainability. (Policy DM2 of the Core Strategy for the North & Section 14 of the NPPF)
6) No development shall take place above slab level, until a scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority for the provision of fire hydrants at the development. Prior to the first occupation of the dwellings the fire hydrants serving that development shall be installed as approved. Thereafter the fire hydrants shall be retained as approved in perpetuity.

Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as the ground works for connectivity will need to be considered prior to construction in order to ensure appropriate access to fire hydrants for use in the event of emergency in accordance with policy DM3 of Central Bedfordshire Core Strategy for the North and Section 12 of the NPPF.
8) 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.
13) 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 include 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 paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).
