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.

The development permitted by this planning permission shall only be carried out in accordance with the drainage strategy report dated May 2025 from Airey and Coles Consulting Engineering (ref 11609-A&C-1600-XXDS- C-00010) 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 pond on site to attenuate the runoff from the site to 3.7 l/s from impermeable area.
