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.

The development hereby approved shall be for domestic and private use only and not for any commercial purpose. Reason: In the interest of highway safety in accordance with Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 Policy D14.

No external lighting shall be installed unless a lighting design for bats and other light sensitive species, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority, following Guidance Note 08/23 - bats and artificial lighting at night (ILP and BCT 2023), or any subsequent update or replacement guidance recognised as best practice within the industry at the time of submission of the design. The design shall show how and where external lighting will be installed. 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 and UK protected species, UK priority species and habitats listed on s41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and in accordance with Policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.

Subject to exemptions and transitional arrangements, the effect of Paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that every planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition '(the biodiversity gain condition') that development may not begin unless: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and (b) the planning authority has approved the plan. The planning authority for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan is Somerset Council. Commencing development which is subject to the biodiversity gain condition without an approved Biodiversity Gain Plan could result in your development becoming subject to enforcement action. The Biodiversity Gain Plan must be submitted in writing, no earlier than the day after this planning permission has been granted and must be broadly in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Statement submitted with the planning application. The Biodiversity Gain Plan must set out how the biodiversity gain objective of at least a 10% gain will be met for the development granted planning permission. It must contain a number of matters to enable the planning authority to determine whether the biodiversity gain objective has been met. There is a standard Biodiversity Gain Plan government template available to complete which brings together many of these matters into one document.

Informative No Development shall commence until: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and (b) the planning authority has approved the plan. The development shall then be carried out in accordance with the agreed details. Reason: This is to ensure that the strategy for meeting the Biodiversity Net Gain is in accordance with paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to minimise the risk of significant post-permission viability issues arising due to Biodiversity Net Gain issues.
