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).

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.

Where external lighting is to be installed, prior to construction above damp-proof course level, a lighting design for bats, following Guidance Note 08/23 - bats and artificial lighting at night (ILP and BCT 2023), shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The design shall show how and where external lighting will be installed. Lux levels should be below 0.5 Lux on key & supporting features or habitats. 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 'Favourable Conservation Status' of populations of European protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

A Biodiversity Enhancement Plan (BEP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development. The mitigation/enhancements should be retained thereafter and should include the following: 1x Sparrow terrace nest box or similar directly under the eaves and away from windows on the north elevations (or similarly specified by manufacturer's instructions such as within a mature tree on site). Under no circumstances should south or west elevations be used, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. Woodcrete or WoodStone boxes should be used where possible due to increased durability and thermal stability. Any hedgerows and trees to be planted shall be native and should include nectar, nut and fruit producing species. All hedgerows will be retained where possible and managed as a screen and habitat feature, at a height over three meters, with a minimum of 6 individual trees allowed to mature. Hedgerows should be managed to promote a greater range of age classes and native species through appropriate planting and management of hedgerow species and understorey. Reason: In accordance with Government policy for the enhancement of biodiversity within development as set out in paragraph 174(d) of the National Planning Policy Framework
