Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/22/03981/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
5) Development shall not begin until details of a highway improvement scheme for Mill Lane, between Bedford Road and the northern extent of the site frontage, have been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be based on the highway improvement scheme associated with the adjacent development and shown indicatively on drawing no. 6067 01 Revision H of planning permission ref.18/01023/RM. Additionally, it shall include inset parking bays as shown on drawing no. 2106 PL-01 Revision B hereby approved.

Reason: In order to minimise the impact of development on existing trees, landscape features and biodiversity (Section 15, NPPF)
12) 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 buildings are occupied and be thereafter retained.

Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the completed development and the visual amenities of the locality.
13) No development shall take place (including any, ground works, site clearance) until an ecological Precautionary Method of Working (PMW) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The PMW shall be informed by the August 2021 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey and include the following:

Risk assessment of potentially damaging construction activities;
Identification of 'biodiversity protection zones';
Practical measures (both physical measures and sensitive working practices) to avoid or reduce impacts during construction (may be provided as a set of method statements).
The location and timing of sensitive works to avoid harm to biodiversity features.
The times during construction when specialist ecologists need to be present on site to oversee works.
Responsible persons and lines of communication.
The role and responsibilities on site of an ecological clerk of works (ECoW) or similarly competent person.
Use of protective fences, exclusion barriers and warning signs.

The approved PMW shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the construction period strictly in accordance with the approved details, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the local planning authority.

Reason: To ensure development is ecologically sensitive and secures biodiversity enhancements in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework
14) No development shall take place until an Ecological Enhancement Strategy (EES) for the creation of new wildlife features such as hibernacula, the inclusion of integrated bird/bat and bee boxes in buildings/structures, hedgehog holes in fences and tree, hedgerow, shrub and wildflower planting/establishment has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The content shall be informed by the August 2021 Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey include the:

purpose and objectives for the proposed works;
detailed design(s) and/or working method(s) necessary to achieve stated objectives (including, where relevant, type and source of materials to be used);
extent and location of proposed works shown on appropriate scale maps and plans;
timetable for implementation, demonstrating that works are aligned with the proposed phasing of construction;
persons responsible for implementing the works;
details of initial aftercare and long-term maintenance.

The works shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the approved details and shall be retained in that manner thereafter

Reason: To ensure development is ecologically sensitive and secures biodiversity enhancements in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
15) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, to manage surface water runoff from the development with the discharge rate from the development limited to 1l/s or less 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 DS/862, Rev A 20/8/2021) 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.

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 CBC Local policy CC3 to CC5 and NPPF Paras 159 to 169 Inclusive of foot notes 54 to 56 and its supporting technical guidance.
