)This development has the potential to impact Great Crested Newts as there are ponds/waterbodies and suitable habitat within 500m of the development. If Great Crested Newts are discovered during development, all works must cease until advice has been sought from Natural England, as failure to do so could result in prosecutable offences being committed.This development has the potential to impact Great Crested Newts as there are ponds/waterbodies and suitable habitat within 500m of the development.

)The applicant is advised that no works associated with the construction of the vehicular access should be carried out within the confines of the public highway without prior consent, in writing, of the Central Bedfordshire Council. Upon receipt of this Notice of Planning Approval, the applicant is advised to follow this link on the Council website http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/transport/request/dropped-kerb.aspx or contact Central Bedfordshire Council Tel: 0300 300 8301 quoting the Planning Application number. This will enable the necessary consent and procedures under Section 184 of the Highways Act to be implemented. The applicant is also advised that if any of the works associated with the construction of the vehicular access affects or requires the removal and/or the relocation of any equipment, apparatus or structures (e.g. street name plates, bus stop signs or shelters, statutory authority equipment etc.) then the applicant will be required to bear the cost of such removal or alteration.
To fully discharge condition 3 the applicant should provide evidence to the Local Planning Authority that the Highway Authority have permitted the construction in accordance with the approved plan, before the development is brought into use.The applicant is advised that no works associated with the construction of the vehicular access should be carried out within the confines of the public highway without prior consent, in writing, of the Central Bedfordshire Council.

)The applicant should address the following points when submitting details to discharge Conditions 4 and 5:
1. The geology in this area is not good for soakaway, mostly clay over an impermeable bedrock, therefore, soakaway usage is not likely. The permeable drives can be
constructed to store rainfall events and a controlled discharge into the surface water system on Bedford Road could be applied for.
2. Due to the proximity of surrounding properties we will require a simple investigation evidencing flood risk will not be increased for existing properties and safety of the
proposed.
3. A full set of calculations will be required, providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC). Any exceedance should be shown with
pathways with maximum depths and velocity.
4.Full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the development wide scheme will be required.
6. The use of the SuDS management train is expected, single point SuDS will be challenged. Where the use of permeable surfacing is proposed, this should be
designed in accordance with the 'CIRIA RP992 The SuDS Manual Update: Paper RP992/28: Design Assessment Checklists for Permeable/Porous Pavement.
7. The Council does not, and is not required to, adopt any SuDS feature. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the surface water drainage system, in its
entirety, will be effectively maintained in the long-term. We therefore expect confirmation of the proposed arrangements for maintenance to be provided with the
final detailed design, including the future maintenance and operational needs and the responsible bodies for undertaking maintenance (for all public and private
drainage components).
8. The final detailed design including proposed standards of operation, construction, structural integrity and ongoing maintenance must be compliant with the
'Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems' (March 2015, Ref: PB14308), 'Central Bedfordshire Sustainable Drainage Guidance' (Adopted
April 2014, Updated May 2015), and recognised best practise including the Ciria SuDS Manual (2016, C753).
9. Land drainage Consent under the Land Drainage Act 1991 must be secured to discharge surface water to an existing watercourse/ditch, and details of this provided
with the full detailed design. An easement should be provided on the developable side of the watercourse to allow for access for maintenance, this should be 9m but
may depend on the maintenance requirements considered appropriate.The applicant should address the following points when submitting details to discharge Conditions 4 and 5:

)Any removal of trees, scrub or hedgerow should take place outside the bird breeding season of March to August inclusive. Should any such vegetation have to be removed during, or close to this period it should first be thoroughly assessed by a suitably experienced ecologist as to whether it is in use by nesting birds. Should nests be found, a suitable area of vegetation (no less than a 5m zone around the nest) should be left intact and undisturbed until it is confirmed that any young have fledged before works in that area proceed. This process should be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.
REASON: In order not to cause destruction of, or damage to , the nests of wild birds, their eggs and young. This corresponds to the protection afforded to them under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).Any removal of trees, scrub or hedgerow should take place outside the bird breeding season of March to August inclusive.
