Details for monitoring and remedial measures
Details for disposal of any wastes arising from works
Details of any hedgehog friendly fencing

The EDS shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details and all features shall be retained in that manner thereafter.

9) No development shall take place until a scheme for the provision of Public Footpath no. 16 has been submitted to and approved in writing by Central Bedfordshire Council to include:

the design of access for Public Footpath no. 16 and any other proposed public rights of way routes (to include landscaping, widths and surfacing)
proposals for the diversion of Public Footpath no.16 and any other public rights of way (where necessary) - a Public Path Order diversion application will need to be submitted.
any proposals for the temporary closure and alternative route provision (where necessary on health and safety grounds) of Public Footpath no. 16 and any other affected public right of way during site clearance/construction.

The public right of way scheme submitted should be in accordance with the approved ROW Standards and Guidance.

Reasons: In the interests of the amenity of pedestrians and other non motorised users and to ensure safety of users is not compromised by the traffic associated with the development.

14) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, together with a maintenance and management plan for the proposed scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Prior to occupation of any dwelling, the surface water drainage system shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details. Thereafter the scheme shall be retained and managed and maintained in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To prevent the increased risk of flooding, to improve and protect water quality, and improve habitat and amenity in accordance with policy CC5 Sustainable Drainage of the Local Plan.

15) No development shall take place until a foul water strategy and a foul water drainage scheme have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Unless otherwise agreed in writing the works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details prior to the occupation of any dwelling subsequently approved.

Reason: To prevent the increased risk of flooding, to improve and protect water quality, and improve habitat and amenity in accordance with Policy CC6 of the CBLP.

17) No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological investigation; that includes provision for post excavation analysis and publication, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development hereby approved shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme.

Reason: To record and advance understanding of the heritage assets with archaeological interest which will be unavoidably affected as a consequence of the development. This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure appropriate archaeological investigation in advance of development would be contrary to paragraph 141 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).
