Conditions and Reasons

Number
Condition
Complied Date
1
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).
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
No development shall commence until a compensatory bat roost feature suitable for day roosting soprano pipistrelles has been provided in accordance with details that are first approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The detailed design shall show the location of roost entrances and internal details. 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-chemicalpest-control-products-and-timber-treatments-in-or-near-them). The roosts will be implemented in strict accordance with the agreed scheme and maintained thereafter. Reason:  The strict protection of EPS in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (as amended) and in accordance with D20 and D23 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan. This is a pre-commencement condition to ensure that a replacement bat roost is provided to house any bats from the commencement stage of development.
4
Works likely to result in an offence under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) 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 authorising the development to go ahead; or a statement of justification in writing from the licensed ecologist to the effect that he/she does not consider that the specified development will require a licence. Reason: A pre-commencement condition in the interests of the strict protection of European protected species and in accordance with D20 and D23 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan.
