Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/25/03192/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
3) No development shall take place, including any works of demolition, until a Construction Traffic Management Plan, associated with the development of the site, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority which will include information on:

The parking of vehicles.
Loading and unloading of plant and materials used in the development.
Storage of plant and materials used in the development.
The erection and maintenance of security hoarding / scaffolding affecting the highway if required.
Wheel washing facilities.
Measures on site to control the deposition of dirt / mud on surrounding roads during the development.
Footpath/footway/cycleway or road closures needed during the development period.
Traffic management needed during the development period.
Times, routes and means of access and egress for construction traffic and delivery vehicles (including the import of materials and the removal of waste from the site) during the development of the site.
Details of escorts for abnormal loads.
Temporary removal and replacement of highway infrastructure and street furniture.
The reinstatement of any signs, verges or other items displaced by construction traffic.
Banksman and escort details, and
Tracking diagrams.

The approved Construction Management Plan associated with the development of the site shall be adhered to throughout the development process.

Reason: This condition is required pre-commencement to ensure safety, protection of the amenity of local land uses, neighbouring residents and highway safety is secured throughout the entirety of the construction period. To accord with the objectives of Policies EMP3, EMP4 and HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021).
6) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100-year event (+30%CC), via infiltration or attenuated discharge to an existing watercourse, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed FRA & Drainage Strategy (Ref: MTC, 2760 FRA & DS, March 2024) 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. 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: This condition is required prior to the commencement of development 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 Policies CC3 to CC5 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021) and Section 14 of the NPPF (2024).
10) No development hereby permitted shall take place unless and until a certificate from the Delivery Partner (as set out in the District Licence WML-OR152, or a 'Further Licence'), confirming that all necessary measures regarding great crested newt compensation have been appropriately dealt with, has been submitted to and approved by the planning authority and the authority has provided authorisation for the development to proceed under the district newt licence. The delivery partner certificate must be submitted to this planning authority for approval prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved.

Reason: In order to adequately compensate for negative impacts to great crested newts, and in line with section 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Circular 06/2005 and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006.
13) No development shall take place above the damp proof course until a scheme for on-site foul water drainage works, including connection point and discharge rate, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Prior to the occupation of any building, the foul water drainage works relating to that dwelling must have been carried out in accordance with the approved scheme.

Reason: To prevent environmental and amenity problems arising from drainage. To accord with the objectives of Policy CC6 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021).
15) No building shall be occupied 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, in accordance with Written Statement HCWS161, 18th December 2014.
17) The site shall not be occupied until an Access and Servicing Plan, setting out how the site will be managed in the event of deliveries or servicing by larger commercial vehicles, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The site shall be operated in full accordance with the details thereby approved in perpetuity of the development.

Reason: To provide effective traffic management on-site and avoid disruption. To accord with the objectives of Policy T2 of the central Bedfordshire Local Plan (2021).
