2
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.
3
None of the accommodation hereby approved shall be used other than as holiday accommodation falling within Use Class C3 of the Schedule of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended). Reason:  To ensure that the development remains for holiday purposes and to comply with Policy D12 of the Core Strategy and Paragraph 28 of the NPPF.

The said register shall be made available for inspection by the Local Planning Authority at reasonable notice. Reason: To ensure the holiday accommodation remains as such and is not occupied in a residential manner in order that the local planning authority can consider the impacts of any proposed change on the character and setting of the listed building and the area generally, the amenities of neighbouring occupiers, to ensure an adequate level of parking is provided to avoid congestion in the interests of highways safety and the free flow of traffic and in the interests of proper planning.
5
Provision shall be made on the site for the parking and turning of two vehicles associated with the development hereby permitted in accordance with details which shall first have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The approved parking and turning space shall be made available prior to the first occupation of the accommodation hereby permitted and thereafter be retained and maintained at all times. Reason: To ensure that adequate off-street parking and turning is available to avoid congestion in the interests of highways safety and the free flow of traffic and to accord with Core Strategy Policy D10.
6
All velux windows to Trindle House shall be fixed (non-opening) and the window in the western gable elevation of Court barn shall be fixed (non-openable) and obscured glazed in accordance with glazing details which shall first have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The glazing shall in all respects be implemented in accordance with the approved details and thereafter retained and maintained as approved. Reason: In the interests of the amenities of neighbouring occupiers and to accord with Core Strategy Policy D16.
7
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re- enacting that Order with or without modification), no extensions, garages, outbuildings or alterations shall be carried out other than those expressly authorised by this permission. Reason: In order that the local planning authority can consider the impacts in the interests of the character and setting of the listed building and the area generally, in the interests of the amenities of neighbouring occupiers, to ensure an adequate level of parking is provided to avoid congestion in the interests of highways safety and the free flow of traffic and in the interests of proper planning.
8
The rooflights to Trindle House shall be of a 'conservation' type, not projecting above the plane of the existing roof. They shall have a surround of a dark matt finish. Precise details of the proposed rooflights shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development. The new rooflights shall exactly match the details approved. Reason: To safeguard the character and appearance of the listed building in accordance with Core Strategy Policy D17
9
Details of the proposed windows and doors to both the Coach House and Trindle House to a minimum scale of 1:10 including elevations, horizontal and vertical cross sections with larger scale details of any glazing bars or other elements to sufficiently describe the proposed units shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development. All new joinery shall be constructed in strict accordance with the approved details. Reason: To safeguard the character and appearance of the listed building in accordance with Core Strategy Policy D17
10
All external timber shall have a painted finish in accordance with a detailed schedule to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development. The painted finish of all external timber shall be carried out in strict accordance with the approved schedule and shall remain into perpetuity. Reason: To safeguard the character and appearance of the listed building in accordance with Core Strategy Policy D17
11
Dry-lining shall be restricted to that shown on the approved plans only. Dry-lining shall not be incorporated in any other areas without first obtaining written consent from the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To safeguard the character and appearance of the listed building in accordance with Core Strategy Policy D17
12
Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted, details of roost facilities for bats and bird boxes for each building shall first have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority and the mitigation measures carried out in complete accordance with the agreed details. The approved roost facilities shall thereafter be retained and maintained. Reason: To ensure the development contributes to enhancing biodiversity where possible and to accord with guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework and Core Strategy Policy D14.
13
The scheme shall in all respects be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Bat Survey Report by Davies Ecology dated September 2015, unless any request for variation has first been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority, namely: The construction company should be made aware of the possibility that bats may be present in the fabric of the building. During demolition, roof tiles should be lifted by hand and inspected for the presence of bats on their undersides. Gaps and cavities in stone walls should be checked for the presence of bats prior to demolition with a high powered torch / endoscope. If bats are found during demolition works, the roost should be carefully covered, if possible and without causing injury to bats. Work should be avoided in the area of the roost and a licensed bat worker should be consulted immediately. The development design plan should include replacement landscape planting which attracts Lepidoptera, particularly moths, for foraging bats. All nesting birds, their nests, eggs and young are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). Ideally the buildings should be demolished and scrub removed outside the bird nesting season (which is March - August inclusive). If this is not possible then pre-clearance checks will need to be carried out by an ecologist to ensure that no nests are present prior to clearance. If nesting birds are found to be present, a demarcated buffer zone, of suitable size, should be created and maintained so that no work occurs within it until the chicks have fledged or dependent young have dispersed. This survey and report should be updated should there be any changes to the proposed scope of works. If more than 12 months elapses from the date of this report, it is recommended that bat surveys should be repeated before any significant works commence. Reason: Bats and their roosts are afforded protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 which includes making it illegal to cause kill or injure bats and destroy, damage or disturb roosts and to accord with Core Strategy Policy D14.
14
No external lighting shall be erected unless details have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. No artificial lighting associated with the development will illuminate features used by bats or installed bat roosts or bird boxes and lighting details should be accompanied by a scheme showing how this would be achieved. Reason: Bats and their roosts are afforded protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 which includes making it illegal to cause kill or injure bats and destroy, damage or disturb roosts and to accord with Core Strategy Policy D14. 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.
