The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: In accordance with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990 ( as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).

No artificial lighting associated with the development will illuminate hedgerows, trees and other features used by bats above 0.5 Lux or installed bat roosts. Reason: Individual bats from intentional or reckless disturbance to individual bats under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).Bat species are adversely affected by the introduction of artificial lighting on commuting routes, which in effect can cause severance between roosts and forging areas. A dark boundary area will also help maintain other light sensitive species on site and contribute towards conserving biodiversity.

Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, a Schwegler 2F bat box or similar will be mounted on a suitable tree on or adjacent to the site at a minimum height of 4 metres with a west facing aspect and shall be retained and maintained thereafter in perpetuity. To ensure the development contributes to enhancing biodiversity where possible as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, a Schwegler 1B nest box or similar with a 32mm hole will be mounted on a suitable tree on or adjacent to the site at 3 metres above ground level and facing an aspect between north and east and shall be retained and maintained thereafter in perpetuity. To ensure the development contributes to enhancing biodiversity where possible as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, samples or details of all external materials and finishes of the building shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The development shall proceed in accordance with the agreed details. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the development. This is a pre-commencement condition because it is necessary to agree the materials to be used in advance of works commencing, to avoid abortive construction works.
