Conditions or Reasons:
2) Notwithstanding the demolition of the existing garage building, no other development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall manage surface water run-off from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC). 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 sewage undertaker. The final detailed design shall be based on DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March, 2018), and shall be implemented as approved. Any variation to the connections and controls indicated on the approved details 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 prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with Policies CC3 and CC5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) and Policy NP8 of the Northill Neighbourhood Plan
5) Prior to any works above slab level, an Ecological Enhancement Strategy (EES) for the creation of new wildlife features and a soft landscaping scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.

6) No use of the proposed development shall occur 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, to prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with Policy CC5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021).
17) Prior to first occupation of the development hereby approved, a 30 year (or as amended by sub-paragraph (4) of paragraph 9 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) Habitat Maintenance and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The HMMP shall include:

how the habitat will be maintained
who is responsible for creating or enhancing the habitats
who is responsible for maintenance, management and monitoring
