7) All ecological measures and/or works shall be carried out in accordance with the details contained in the Cherryfield Ecological Appraisal dated 06/09/19 as already submitted with the planning application and agreed in principle with the local planning authority prior to determination.

Reason
To ensure a ecological net gain on the site.
8) No building/dwelling shall be occupied until the developer has received confirmation of consent to discharge surface water into an existing watercourse at a rate limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year rate, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed drainage Strategy (Ref: SW&H FRA 203420 Rev 00, Oct 2020) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved.

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.
9) 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, including the closure and re-instatement of the existing access to the north, and the provision of 2.4m x 43.0m visibility splays, clear of all obstruction, as indicated on the approved plan

Reason
To ensure the provision of appropriate access arrangements and associated off site highway works in the interest of highway safety
10) The proposed vehicular access shall be surfaced in accordance with the annotation of the approved drawing no. L-07 rev J and shall remain surfaced as such, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the local planning authority.

Reason
To avoid the carriage of mud or other extraneous material or surface water from the site into the highway so as to safeguard the interest of highway safety.
11) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 2015, or any amendments thereto, the parking provision inclusive of 2 visitor parking spaces shall not be used for any purpose, other than as parking provision unless permission has been granted by the Local Planning Authority on an application made for that purpose.

Reason
To retain off-street parking provision and thereby minimise the potential for on-street parking which could adversely affect the convenience of road users.
12) The turning space for service/delivery/ambulance sized vehicles (6.5m length) within the layout of the forecourt indicated on the approved drawing no. L-07 rev J shall be constructed before the development is first brought into use and thereafter retained for the purpose of turning area free of obstruction for the perpetuity of the development

Reason
To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn outside the highway limits thereby avoiding the reversing of vehicles on to the highway.
13) A scheme for the secure and covered parking of cycles on the site in accordance with the councils cycle parking annexes and calculated at one cycle parking space per bedroom and 2 short stay spaces per unit, shall be fully implemented before the development is first occupied or brought into use and thereafter retained for this purpose. (See Notes to the Applicant)

Reason
To ensure the provision of adequate cycle parking to meet the needs of occupiers of the proposed development in the interests of encouraging the use of sustainable modes of transport.
14) The refuse collection point located at the site frontage and outside of the public highway, as indicated on the approved drawing no. L-07 rev J shall be fully implemented prior to occupation of any dwelling 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.
15) No development approved by this permission shall take place until a landscaping scheme 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 scheme should detail an area of replacement planting to mitigate the loss of any hedging resulting from the highway works as required in condition 9 of this consent. 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 hedging 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 mitigate against any resultant loss of natural features such as the hedge. The site lies in the Greensand Ridge Nature Improvement Area and as such a net gain for biodiversity would be expected.
16) A scheme shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority indicating the positions, design, materials and type of boundary treatment to be erected. The boundary treatment shall be completed in accordance with the approved scheme before the first dwelling is occupied and be thereafter retained. Any amendments to this boundary treatment requires written permission by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the completed development, the visual amenities of the locality and to protect the openness of the Green Belt.
(Section 12 and 13, NPPF)
17) Part A: No development shall take place until an archaeological written scheme of investigation (WSI) that adopts a staged approach, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

The WSI shall include the following components:
1. a method statement for an intrusive archaeological trial trench evaluation of the site, including provision for post excavation reporting, archive preparation and archive deposition
2. an outline method statement for the excavation of any archaeological remains found during the trial trench evaluation
3. an outline strategy for post-excavation assessment, analysis and publication for the excavation work, including details of the timetable for each stage of the post-excavation works

Items 2 and 3 of Part A of this condition will be finalised following the completion of the trial evaluation and the approval of the evaluation report by the Archaeology Team. The updated WSI for the excavation will then be approved by the Archaeology Team before any further fieldwork or development is undertaken. Should no archaeological remains be recorded during the evaluation it will not be necessary to complete Items 2, and 3 of Part A and the applicant or developer can proceed with completing the work to discharge Part B.

Part B: The said development shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved WSI and finalised excavation method statement and this condition shall only be fully discharged when:
1. it has been confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority that all stages (evaluation, excavation and if appropriate any monitoring) of the archaeological fieldwork have been completed
2. a Post-Excavation Assessment Report and an Updated Project Design or a final archaeological report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall be done within twelve months of the completion of the archaeological fieldwork unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority
3. the post-excavation analysis as specified in the approved Updated Project Design (if a UPD is prepared); the preparation of the site archive ready for deposition at a store approved by the Local Planning Authority; the preparation of an archive report and the submission of a publication report have all been completed. This shall be done within two years of the conclusion of the archaeological fieldwork unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority

This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure an archaeological investigation in advance of development and to make the record of that work publicly available would be contrary to paragraph 199 of 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).

This request is in line with the requirements of Chapter 16 of the NPPF (February 2019).
18) No construction approved by this permission shall take place until a further Phase 2 investigation report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, as recommended by the previously submitted JNP Group report dated December 2020 (Ref: M43357-JNP-XX-XX-RP-G-1002). Where found to be necessary by the phase 2 report a remediation strategy to deal with the risks associated with contamination of the site shall also be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The remediation strategy shall include an options appraisal giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken. The strategy shall include a plan providing details of how the remediation works shall be judged to be complete and arrangements for contingency action. (Note: Demolition can take place to enable further investigation).

Reason: To protect human health and to ensure that no future investigation is required under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
19) Prior to any permitted dwelling being occupied a validation report shall be submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority to demonstrate the effectiveness of any agreed Remediation Strategy. Any such validation shall include responses to any unexpected contamination discovered during works.

Reason: To protect human health and to ensure that no future investigation is required under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
20) Notwithstanding the details submitted, the land marked 'paddocks/agricultural land' on Drawing Number L-07 Rev J shall be enclosed in accordance with details shown on the plans prior to the first occupation of the first dwelling and thereafter retained only for equestrian and/or agricultural purposes except with the express written permission of the Local Planning Authority. The land so enclosed shall, at no time be included within the residential curtilages of the approved dwellings.

Reason: To safeguard the openness of the Green Belt and preserve the character of the open countryside.
(Policies SP4 and SP7 of CBC Local Plan and Section 12 and 13 of the NPPF).
21) The development hereby permitted shall be undertaken in full accordance with the Councils adopted Construction Code of Practice for Developers and Contractors https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/44/planning/674/codes_of_practice_for_planning.

Reason: In order to minimise the impact of construction work on the amenities of nearby residential properties (Section 12, NPPF)
22) Prior to the occupation of the first dwelling, a scheme (based on current government policy/guidance at the time of submission) for the provision of electric charging points shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The charging points shall be provided as approved prior to the occupation of the dwellings they serve.
Reason: To ensure the development protects and exploits opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of people in accordance with section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
23) No development shall take place, notwithstanding the details submitted with the application, until details of the materials to be used for the external walls, roofs and external fenestration of the development hereby approved have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To control the appearance of the building in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality.
(Section 12, NPPF)
24) No development shall take place until details of the existing and final ground and slab levels of the buildings hereby approved have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
