Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/23/04081/DOC

Conditions or Reasons:

2) Prior to occupation of the development hereby approved a ''lighting design and strategy for biodiversity'' for the grain dryer, grain store and general purpose building has been submitted to the local planning authority in writing for their approval. The strategy shall:

(a) identify those areas/features on site that are particularly sensitive for bats and that are likely to cause disturbance in or around their breeding sites and resting places or along important routes used to access key areas of their territory, for example, for foraging; and

(b) show how and where external lighting will be installed (through the provision of appropriate lighting contour plans and technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent the above species using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places.

All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the strategy, and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the strategy. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the local planning authority.

Reason: To ensure that the proposed lighting on the new development would not disturb local wildlife.
