The dwelling hereby permitted shall be planned, built and first occupied in accordance with the definition of 'self-build and custom housebuilding' as defined in the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 (as amended). The dwelling hereby permitted shall be first occupied as the sole or main residence of a person on the Council's Self Build Register with an appropriate local connection to the parish of Mark. Reason: Development in this location is only considered acceptable on the basis that it meets an identified local need for self or custom build development in accordance with Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 Policy D9.

Prior to the commencement of any works, a landscape planting scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This must ensure that all trees, hedgerows and waterways are retained and suitably enhanced, and enhancements for protected species are provided, unless otherwise agreed by the LPA. The approved planting scheme shall be implemented no later than the end of the first planting season following the first use of the development hereby approved. Notwithstanding the submitted detail, for the avoidance of doubt the landscape scheme shall comprise a landscape masterplan which identifies the trees, hedgerows and ecological features to be retained, removed and proposed. The proposed planting scheme shall include: a) a detailed scaled drawing which identifies the proposed green infrastructure and includes a plant schedule and planting specification. b) The planting schedule shall detail the proposed species, quantities, stock sizes, planting densities and spacings. c) All landscape areas shall be protected and maintained, and any trees or plants which, within a period of five years from the completion of the planting, die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased, shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species. Reason: A pre-commencement condition to ensure that development sites are appropriately landscaped to provide enhancement of the environment, mitigation for vegetation that is to be removed, to ensure biodiversity is maintained .and that planting schemes are established and managed into the future in accordance with policy D19 Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032

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 the ditches on or adjacent to the site b) How all hedgerows and trees will be protected from mechanical damage, pollution incidents and compaction of roots in accordance with BS5837:2012 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.

Prior to the installation of any external lighting, a lighting design for bats, following Guidance Note 08/18 Bats and artificial lighting in the UK (ILP and BCT 2018), 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 5 of Guidance Note 08/18, including submission of contour plans illustrating Lux levels. 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 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.

No development shall take place (including demolition, ground works, vegetation clearance) until a construction environmental management plan (CEMP: Biodiversity) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The CEMP (Biodiversity) shall include the following: a) Risk assessment of potentially damaging construction activities. b) Identification of 'biodiversity protection zones'. c) Practical measures (both physical measures and sensitive working practices) to avoid or reduce impacts during construction of nesting bird, hazel dormouse, reptile, amphibian, badger and bat habitat clearance measures d) The location and timing of sensitive works to avoid harm to biodiversity features. e) The times during construction when specialist ecologists need to be present on site to oversee works. f) Responsible persons, lines of communication and written notifications of operations to the Local Planning Authority. g) The role and responsibilities on site of an ecological clerk of works (ECoW) or similarly competent person. h) Use of protective fences, exclusion barriers and warning signs. i) Ongoing monitoring, including compliance checks by a competent person(s) during construction and immediately post-completion of construction works. The approved CEMP shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the construction period strictly in accordance with the approved details, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: A 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.

Prior to development above DPC level, A Biodiversity Enhancement Plan (BEP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The mitigation/enhancements should be installed prior to first occupation and retained thereafter and should include the following: a) Installation of 1x standard bird box purchased or built, situated on a mature tree on site or appropriately positioned on the proposed works, at a height above 3m. The ideal position for bird boxes is north facing (followed by north-east, and then east if no other aspects are possible. Under no circumstances should south or west elevations be used, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. b) A Beaumaris Woodstone maxi bat box or similar mounted at least 4m above ground on either the south or west facing elevations, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. c) Native, nectar rich planting (such as wildflowers, shrubs or trees) should be created within the site boundary and a buffer of rough grassland and understorey vegetation should be provided at the base of hedgerows. Trees and shrubs must be sourced from a reputable UK nursery. If not UK grown, plants must have spent at least one full growing season on a UK nursery and have been subjected to a full pest and disease programme d) Installation/construction of a deadwood log refugia piles as a shelter for reptiles, invertebrates, amphibians and small mammals.

This should be constructed within the boundary of the site and maintained thereafter e) 1x integrated bee brick built into an appropriate external wall space of each dwelling. The bricks should be placed 1m above ground level and vegetation must not block the entrance holes. Please note, solitary bees are harmless and do not sting. Reason: To ensure biodiversity enhancement as in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 and 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
