No development on the elements listed below shall commence until the following information has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For this purpose, plans and sections, indicating as appropriate, the design, layout, levels, gradients, materials and method of construction shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority: a) access road b) footways c) tactile paving d) sewers e) retaining walls f) service routes g) vehicle overhang margins h) embankments i) visibility splays j) carriageway gradients k) car, motorcycle and cycle parking including electric vehicle charging points l) hard and soft structural landscape areas, m) pedestrian and cycle routes and associated vehicular accesses and crossings with particular reference to PROW BW22/10 n) means of enclosure and boundary treatment, o) street lighting and street furniture, p) proposed levels, q) highway drainage r) swept path analysis for a refuse vehicle size as agreed in writing by Somerset Waste Services No occupation shall thereafter commence until the development has been constructed in accordance with the approved details and retained in perpetuity thereafter. Reason: In the interest of highways safety as in accordance with policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

The proposed roads, including footways and turning spaces where applicable, shall be constructed in such a manner as to ensure that each dwelling before it is occupied shall be served by a properly consolidated and surfaced footway and carriageway to at least base course level between the dwelling and existing highway. Reason: In the interest of highways safety as in accordance with policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

A Lighting Strategy for Biodiversity will be provided to support any reserved matters application following Guidance Note 08/23 - bats and artificial lighting at night (ILP and BCT 2023). The strategy shall: Demonstrate how a dark corridor will be achieved along the northern boundary, and how tree and/or hedgerows will be lit no more than 0.5 lux. Show how and where external lighting will be installed (through the provision of appropriate lighting contour plans, technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent light sensitive species using their territory or having access to their breeding sites and resting places. Lighting shall not have a high blue light content to ensure disruption does not occur to any existing invertebrate assemblages along the northern tree belt. The site plan must demonstrate that window size and placement is sensitively designed to reduce excessive interior light spill, and where necessary, recessed internal luminaires, physical barriers and light limiting glazing should be considered. 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 Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

A Biodiversity Enhancement, Mitigation and Maintenance Plan (BEMMP) shall support any reserved matters application that details the location, implementation, and maintenance of such features, which shall include: Integrated bird and bat boxes (minimum of 2 each). All hedgerows and trees will be retained and managed for biodiversity. 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. Any newly lawned areas should be turf and/or seed mixes that comprise native, species rich mixtures (such as Emorsgate seeds EL1 Flowering Lawn Mixture) that respond well to the proposed mowing schedule (e.g. the aforementioned seed mix responds well to regular short mowing). Any new fencing must have accessible hedgehog holes, measuring 13cm x 13cm to allow the movement of hedgehogs into and out of the site. 4x integrated bee bricks must be built into the external wall space of the new building. The bricks will be placed one meter above ground level on a south facing aspect, vegetation must not block the entrance holes. Solitary bees are harmless and do not sting. 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.
