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 permission hereby granted only permits the conversion of the building to a dwelling. The existing building shall not be demolished and/or replaced with a new structure. Reason: The proposal is only acceptable as it involves the conversion of an existing building.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any Order revising revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modifications), there shall be no enlargement or extension of the development hereby permitted, including any additions or alterations to the roof, or insertion of new or enlargement of existing window or door openings, or erection of any new building or means of enclosure within the application site without the prior written approval of the local planning authority by submission of a planning application. Reason: In the interest of visual amenity in accordance with Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032 policy D2.

Works to any of the buildings shall not in any circumstances commence unless the Local Planning Authority has been provided with either: a copy of the licence issued by Natural England pursuant to Regulation 55 of The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 authorising the development to go ahead; or a statement in writing from the licensed bat ecologist to the effect that he/she does not consider that the specified development will require a licence. Reason: A pre-commencement condition is in the interests 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 an 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.

Any areas that are accessible to bats must be lined with traditional black bitumen felt (type 1F) to avoid the risk of entanglement of bats. Modern roofing membranes will not be permitted in areas which are accessible to bats. Any timbers that are to be retained and requiring remedial timber treatment should only be treated with 'bat friendly' chemicals (see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/bat-roosts-use-of-chemical-pest-control-products-and-timber-treatments-in-or-near-them). A scheme must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to work commencing on site. Reason: A pre-commencement condition 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.

Such enhancement measures shall include:- Installation of 1x Woodstone Seville Nest Box (or similar) and 1x Swallow nest box (or similar) to be installed on a northerly or northwesterly aspect on a suitabile building within the application site Installation of 2x 1FF Scwelger bat box (or similar) installed directly under the eaves and in line with the manufacturer's guidelines Once installed, the features shall be maintained and retained thereafter in perpetuity. Reason: To safeguard and promote biodiversity in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.
