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) 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, fenestration and finishes 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)
3) No development shall take place until a contaminated land desktop study has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. In addition, and where deemed necessary by the Local Planning Authority, an intrusive investigation proposal, a subsequent remediation statement and a validation document, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. No development shall take place until the remediation measures thereby approved have been completed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To ensure that the site is suitable for its end use and to protect human health and the water environment.
(Section 15, NPPF)
4) No development shall commence until a final, 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+10%UC), via attenuated discharge into existing watercourse, and a proposed 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
'Surface Water Drainage & FRA Report Rev B' and DEFRAs non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved. The development will provide a 9m development free 'buffer' for access and maintenance of any adjacent or on-site watercourse. Maintenance is to be identified for all drainage features and 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 CBC Local policy CC3 to CC5 and NPPF Paras 159 to 169 inclusive of foot notes 54 to 56 and its supporting technical guidance.
5) No development 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.
(Sections 12 & 15, NPPF)
6) The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until the junction between the proposed access road and the highway as shown indicatively on plan ref RHC-22-014-01 has been constructed in accordance with the approved details. The access shall serve the approved single dwelling and associated domestic ancillary use of the outbuildings only contained within the red and blue application boundaries. (See Notes to the Applicant)

Reason
In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises.
