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.

a) The touring pitches shall be occupied for holiday purposes only and shall not be occupied as a person's sole or main residence. b) The site operator and owners shall maintain an up to date register of the names of all owners/occupiers, including their guests, and evidence of their main home addresses, and shall make this information available at all reasonable times to the local planning authority. Reason: The site is not considered suitable for permanent accommodation in accordance with Policies D17 and CO1 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.

The development permitted by this planning permission shall only be carried out in accordance with the revised FRA (ref EVY1226-V1) dated 5 December 2024, the Causeway surface water calculation dated 17/12/2024 and the surface water drainage design (ref 2024/05/02) dated Jan 2024 and the following mitigation measures detailed within the document: 1. Limiting the surface water run-off generated by all rainfall critical storm up to, and including, the 1 in 100 year plus climate change so that it will not exceed the run-off from the undeveloped site and not increase the risk of flooding off-site. 2. Provision of surface water attenuation on site to attenuate the runoff from the site to 2.5 l/s from impermeable area. 3. No development nor land raising shall take place within 6m of the top of the ordinary watercourse forming the boundary of the site. Reason: To prevent flooding by ensuring the satisfactory storage of/disposal of surface water from the site, to prevent flooding elsewhere by ensuring restriction of surface water from the site and to prevent potential pollution impacts of both people and vehicles being so close to the top of bank

The development shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted flood risk assessment (prepared by Edenvale Young Associates, Ref: EVY1226 Rev V1, dated 5th December 2024) and the mitigation measures detailed in Chapters 6 & 7. These mitigation measures shall be fully implemented prior to occupation and maintained thereafter throughout the lifetime of the development. Reason: To reduce the risk of flooding to the proposed development and future occupants

At the proposed access there shall be no obstruction to visibility greater than 600 millimetres above adjoining road level within the visibility splays shown on the submitted plan. (Drawing No 240632-RAP-DR-TP-3200 Revision P03). Such visibility splays shall be constructed prior to the development hereby permitted first being brought into use and shall thereafter be maintained in perpetuity. Reason: In the interests of highway safety in accordance with Policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.

The proposed access shall be constructed in accordance with details shown on the submitted plan, drawing number 240632-RAP-DR-TP-3100, and shall be available prior to the development hereby permitted first being brought into use. The access and passing areas shown on the drawing should be formed of a consolidated surface. Once constructed the access shall be maintained thereafter in that condition in perpetuity. Reason: In the interests of highway safety in accordance with Policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.

Before the development is first brought into use, a landscape planting scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority and shall be carried out within 9 months of the date of the landscaping scheme being approved. The trees/shrubs shall be protected and maintained, and dead or dying trees/shrubs shall be replaced to the satisfaction of the local planning authority for a period of five years following their planting. Reason: In the interests of visual amenity and biodiversity enhancement.

The Biodiversity Gain Plan to be submitted and agreed in writing to the Local Planning Authority in accordance with Paragraphs 13 and 14 of Part 2 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be broadly in accordance with the approved Biodiversity Gain Statement dated 6 February 2025 (G1114.043_BNG). Reason: To ensure that the strategy for meeting the Biodiversity Net Gain requirements for the development does not change significantly following the grant of planning permission and to minimise the risk of significant post-permission viability issues arising due to Biodiversity Net Gain issues.

All ecological measures and/or works shall be carried out in accordance with the details contained in the report as already submitted with the planning application and agreed in principle with the Local Planning Authority prior to determination. Reason: In the interest of the strict protection of European protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

Prior to the installation of any external lighting, a lighting design for bats and other light sensitive species, 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 (including through the provision of technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent bats using their territory. The design should accord with Step 4 and Step 5 of Guidance Note 08/23, including submission of contour plans illustrating Lux levels. Lux levels should be below 0.2 lux on the horizontal plane, and at or below 0.4 lux on the vertical plane on the key & supporting bat features and 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 Risk Avoidance Measures Method Statement (RAMMS) detailing the following measures shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development: a) Pollution prevention methods to avoid impacts such as dust, chemicals or materials entering watercourses. b) How all hedgerows and trees will be protected from mechanical damage, pollution incidents and compaction of roots in accordance with BS5837:2012 during site clearance works, groundworks and construction and to ensure materials are not stored at the base of trees, hedgerows and other sensitive habitats. The development will thereafter be implemented in accordance with the approved strategy. Reason: Pre-commencement condition: In the interests 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 Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

A Biodiversity Enhancement, Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (BEMMP) 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: a) Provision of 12 no. nest boxes as described or similar within the section 4.20. of the Ecological Appraisal (Crossman Associates, 18 Jan 2025). b) Installation/construction of a deadwood log refugia pile as a shelter for reptiles, invertebrates, amphibians and small mammals. Advice can be found here: Log Piles for Wildlife | Garden Advice - The RSPB. This should be constructed within the boundary of the site and maintained thereafter. Photographs of the installed features will be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to first occupation. Reason: In accordance with Government policy for the enhancement of biodiversity within development as set out in paragraph 180(d) of the National Planning Policy Framework and Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.
