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) No development shall commence until a noise assessment to assess any impacts from vehicle movements, maintenance and cleaning resulting from the proposed use of the site and provides details of a noise mitigation scheme as required, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.

Any works which form part of the scheme approved by the local authority shall be completed before the use of the site commences.

Reason: To ensure that the amenity of occupants of the neighbouring properties are not adversely affected by noise from the proposed use of the site in accordance with Policy CC8 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and Chapter 15 of the NPPF.
3) 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), via infiltration, and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed drainage Strategy (Ref: Chiltern Design Drainage Statement Ref DS/926 Dated August 2022) and 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. The discharge rate from the development will be limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year rate, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards.

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 Central Bedfordshire Council Local Plan Policies CC3 to CC5 and NPPF Paragraphs 159 to 169 Inclusive of foot notes 54 to 56 and its supporting technical guidance.
4) The premises shall not 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.
5) No development above ground level 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. (Chapters 12 and 15, NPPF)
6) Prior to the occupation of the development, details of the proposed charging points and ducting shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Details to be submitted should include:

Proposals to provide a minimum of 2 active charging points and 2 passive provision points within the site for the charging of electric vehicles, together with associated signed / delineated car parking spaces, where required.
Details of the specification(s) of charge point(s) including power output, ducting / cable routes to all other car parking spaces within the site to enable charging points for the charging of electric vehicles to be provided for all other parking spaces in the site in the future.
Equipment design and colour.
A management and maintenance scheme outlining how the charging points and associated car parking spaces will be managed and operated.
The process users can go through to activate passive charging points.

The approved development shall not be occupied until the scheme has been provided in accordance with the approved details, including the approved ducting / cable routes. The charging points and associated car parking spaces shall thereafter be retained, as approved, and shall remain available for use. The charging points and associated car parking spaces shall be managed and operated at all times in complete accordance with the approved Charge Point Operation and Management Strategy (or alternative method statement as may have been approved in writing by the local planning authority).

Reason: To ensure that adequate parking with facilities for the charging of electric vehicles are provided in accordance with Policy HQ1 High Quality Design, Policy T5 Ultra Low Emission Vehicles; Policy T3 Parking; Policy T2 Highways Safety and Design and Policy CC1 Climate Change and Sustainability and the National Planning Policy Framework.
7) 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 building(s) are occupied and be thereafter retained.

Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the completed development and the visual amenities of the locality. (Chapter 12, NPPF)
8) No building hereby approved shall be brought in to use until the junction radii improvements to the existing access with the highway (Drawing Y-01 Rev D) have been constructed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To retain off-street parking provision and manoeuvring and thereby minimise the potential for on-street parking and indiscriminate parking within the site which could adversely affect the convenience of road users and manoeuvring/turning within the site. (Chapter 9, NPPF)
11) No development above ground level shall commence until a scheme for the secure and covered parking of cycles on the site (including the internal dimensions of the cycle parking area, stands/brackets to be used and access thereto), shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
