Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development hereby permitted shall begin not later than three years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2) The site shall be set out as no more than 4 pitches in accordance with Drawing Number JJ20-LRCS, Sheet 001 and retained as such thereafter unless otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority. No more than 4 static and 4 mobile (tourer) caravans shall be positioned on the site at any one time.

Reason: In order to control the number of pitches and caravans on the site in the interest of the amenities of the occupiers of the site and locality and the visual amenity of the area. (Chapter 12 NPPF and Policies H7, EE5 and HQ1 CBLP).
3) No caravan located on the Site shall be occupied for residential purposes by persons other than Gypsies and Travellers, as defined by Annex 1 of the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2015 or any subsequent guidance.

Reason: To ensure that the occupation of the residential caravans on the site is restricted to Gypsies and Travellers only.(Policies SP7 and H7 CBLP).
4) No development shall take place above slab level until a landscaping scheme to include all hard and soft landscaping (including boundary planting and all hardsurfacing areas and internal roads) 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 hardsurfacing areas shall not be extended thereafter without the approval of the Local Planning Authority and 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.
(Sections 12 & 15, NPPF and Policies EE4, EE5, H7 and HQ1 CBLP).
5) Notwithstanding the details shown, the development shall not be brought into use until the junction of the proposed vehicular access with the highway has been constructed in accordance with the approved details. The access shall have a minimum width of 4.8m for at least 8.0m into the site measured from the highway boundary, including the provision of 2.4m x 160.0m visibility splays, clear of all obstruction, have been implemented. The required vision splays shall for the perpetuity of the development remain free of any obstruction to visibility.

Reason:
To ensure the provision of appropriate access arrangements and associated off site highway works in the interest of highway safety and for the avoidance of doubt and to provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it.
6) Any gates provided shall open away from the highway and be set back a distance of at least 8.0 metres from the highway boundary.

Reason:
To enable vehicles to draw off the highway before the gates are opened.
7) Before development commences any structure within the public adopted highway fronting the site and either side of the access shall be removed and the verge, other than the access/junction, reinstated as grass verge and retained as such thereafter.

Reason:
To allow the pass and repass of highway traffic and to provide adequate driver/driver and driver/pedestrian intervisibility for users of the public highway and the property.
8) Before the premises are first occupied all on site vehicular areas shall be surfaced in stable and durable materials in accordance with details to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the site to soak away within the site so that it does not discharge into the highway or into the main drainage system.

Reason:
To avoid the carriage of mud or other extraneous material or surface water from the site so as to safeguard the interest of highway safety and reduce the risk of flooding and to minimise inconvenience to users of the premises and ensure satisfactory parking of vehicles outside highway limits.
9) The development shall not be brought into use until a turning space for vehicles has been constructed within the curtilage of the site in a manner to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter, the turning area shall remain unobstructed for the perpetuity of the development.

Reason:
To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn outside of the highway limits thereby avoiding the reversing of vehicles on to the highway.
10) Details of a refuse collection point located at the site frontage and outside of the public highway and any visibility splays shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to the first occupation of any caravan. The scheme shall be fully implemented prior to the first occupation of any caravan and shall be retained thereafter.

Reason:
In the interest of amenity and in order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises.
11) The proposed means of illumination shall be shielded so that no glare or dazzle occurs to drivers of vehicles using the public highway.

Reason
In the interest of road safety.
12) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC), and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The discharge rate from the development will be limited to el/s as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards. The final detailed design shall be based on DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved. Maintenance will ensure the system functions as designed for the lifetime of the development. Any variation to the connections and controls indicated on the approved drawing which may be necessary at the time of construction would require the resubmission of those details to the Local Planning Authority for approval.

Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with para 163 and 165 of the NPPF and its supporting technical guidance.(Policies CC3, CC5 and H7 CBLP).
13) The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until the scheme for sewage disposal, including the siting of the septic tank have been completed in full in accordance with the approved details reference: 21-0262 C001 and Foul Drainage Assessment Form completed by Kris Tovey dated 18th May 2021 and the septic tank shall be retained and maintained as such thereafter.

Reason: To ensure acceptable drainage of the site in the interests of the environment and living conditions of future occupiers (Chapter 12 NPPF; and Policies CC6, H7 and HQ1 CBLP).
14) No commercial activities shall take place on the land, including the storage of materials and no vehicles over 3.5 tonnes shall be parked at the site at any time.
Reason: In the interests of the amenities of the occupiers of the site and locality and the visual amenity of the area. (Chapter 12 NPPF and Policies H7, HQ1 and EE5 CBLP).

Reason: In order to minimise the impact of construction work on the amenities of nearby residential properties. (Section 12, NPPF)
