Construction of any dwelling or the internal access road on the development hereby approved shall not be commenced prior to the approval of the reserved matters submitted in relation to that dwelling or the internal access road respectively. Plans and particulars of the reserved matters referred to above, relating to the appearance, landscaping, layout and scale, shall be submitted in writing to the local planning authority and shall be carried out as approved. Application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the local planning authority no later than by 9 April 2021. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved. Reason: The application was submitted as an outline application in accordance with the provisions of Article 5(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015. In accordance with the provisions of Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990 (As amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).

The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the approved plans listed in schedule A. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

Before any work is commenced a programme showing the phasing of the development shall be approved in writing by the local planning authority and the development shall not proceed other than in accordance with the approved programme. Reason: To secure in the public interest a satisfactorily correlated order of development.

Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a post and wire fence will be erected and new mixed species native hedgerow will be planted to reinforce the northern hedgerow boundary defining the extent of the gardens of Plots 1 to 4 in accordance with the details set out in the submitted and approved Structural Landscaping Plan Drg No. 1703/24. The approved fencing shall thereafter be retained. Any plants in the hedgerow that fail shall be replaced for a period of five years. Once established, the newly planted hedgerow shall be maintained at a height of a minimum of 2 metres thereafter. Reason: In the interests of the integrity of a European site in accordance with Adopted Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 Policy D20.

A 'lighting design for bats' shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority for each of Plots 1 to 4 prior to the commencement of construction works of that plot. The design shall show how and where external lighting will be installed (including through the provision of technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb bats using their territory. All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the design, and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the design. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the local planning authority. Reason: in the interests of the integrity of a European site.

The site of the proposed development may be contaminated. Therefore unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation must not commence until conditions A to C have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the Local Planning Authority in writing until condition D has been complied with in relation to that contamination. A. Site Characterisation A detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be completed in accordance with current UK guidance to assess the nature, extent and scale of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The investigations, risk assessments and written reports must be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report of the findings must include: i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination; desk study information, conceptual models, investigation methods, investigation results and interpretation and any other information required by the local planning authority to justify and appraise the report findings. an assessment of the potential risks to: human health, property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes, adjoining land, groundwaters and surface waters, ecological systems, archaeological sites and ancient monuments; an appraisal of remedial options, and proposal of the preferred option(s). This must be conducted in accordance with current UK guidance including DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. Submission of Remediation Scheme In cases where contamination is shown to exist a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property, the natural and historical environment and surrounding land must be prepared, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. Implementation of Approved Remediation Scheme The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Local Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report (referred to in PPS23 as a validation report) that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Reporting of Unexpected Contamination In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of condition A, and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of condition B, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority in accordance with condition C. Long Term Monitoring and Maintenance If a monitoring and maintenance scheme, to include monitoring the long-term effectiveness of the proposed remediation, is required as part of the approved remediation scheme then the monitoring and maintenance scheme will need to be approved in writing by the local planning authority. Following completion of the measures identified in that monitoring and maintenance scheme and when the remediation objectives have been achieved, reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of the monitoring and maintenance carried out must be produced, and submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval. This must be conducted in accordance with current UK guidance including DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.

The proposed roads, including footpaths and turning spaces where applicable, shall be constructed in such a manner as to ensure that each dwelling before it is occupied shall be served by a properly consolidated and surfaced footpath and carriageway to at least base course level between the dwelling and existing highway. Reason: In the interest of highway safety.

At the proposed access there shall be no obstruction to visibility greater than 300mm above adjoining road level within the visibility splays shown on the submitted and approved Site Layout Drg No. 1703/12 rev D. Such visibility splays shall be constructed prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted and shall thereafter be maintained at all times. Reason: In the interest of highway safety.

Prior to the commencement of development, including any site clearance, groundworks or construction within each sub-phase (save such preliminary or minor works that the Local Planning Authority may agree in writing), a Construction Management Plan (CMP) to manage the impacts of construction during the life of the works, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the CMP shall, amongst other things, include:- a) Details of measures to prevent mud from vehicles leaving the site and must include wheel- washing facilities; b) Noise control plan (which includes control methods); c) A waste disposal policy (stating no burning on site); d) Details of any site construction office, compound and ancillary facility buildings; e) Specified on-site parking for vehicles associated with the construction works and the provision made for access thereto; f) A point of contact (such as a Construction Liaison Officer/site manager) and details of how complaints will be addressed, including an appropriate phone number.The details so approved and any subsequent amendments as shall be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority shall be complied with in full and monitored by the applicants to ensure continuing compliance during the construction of the development. Reason: To protect the amenity of local residents from potential impacts whilst site clearance, groundworks and construction is underway.

A mixed species native hedgerow shall be planted behind the approved visibility splays adjacent to the site access (as indicated on the submitted and approved Site Layout Parameters Plan drg. no. 1703/12 rev D). The hedgerow shall be planted in the first planting season following the commencement of the development hereby approved. Any plants which fail shall be replaced for a period of five years. Once established, the newly planted hedgerow and existing hedgerow adjoining the highway shall be maintained at a height of a minimum of 2 metres thereafter. Reason: In the interests of visual amenity in accordance with Adopted Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 Policy D2.

Retained hedgerows and trees should be protected from mechanical damage, pollution incidents and compaction of roots in accordance with BS5837:2012 during construction and ensure materials are not stored at the base of trees and hedgerows. Reason: In the interests of the integrity of a European site and biodiversity generally.
