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.

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, prior to construction. 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. Lux levels should be below 0.5 Lux on potential bat commuting routes (hedgerows). 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. 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.

The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until measures for the enhancement and protection of biodiversity have been installed. Such enhancement measures shall include:- A Habibat bat box (type 001) or similar mounted at least 4m above ground on either the south or west facing elevations. The bat box ideally should be placed beneath the eaves or on gable ends and away from windows and doors and ideally should be fitted in a location that gives bats immediate access to foraging habitat. Boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. Installation of a 1SP Schwegler Sparrow Terrace appropriately positioned on the proposed works below the eaves and away from windows and doors, 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. Planting of 2x high nectar shrub such as buddleia, lavenders, honeysuckle or roses (although this list is not exhaustive), which should appeal to night-flying moths (a key food source for bats). The Royal Horticultural Society guide, 'RHS Perfect for Pollinators, www.rhs.org.uk/perfectforpollinators' provides a list of suitable plants both native and non-native plants. 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 Inclusion of 1x integrated bee brick built into an appropriate external wall space. 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. Once implemented such measures shall be retained at all times thereafter in perpetuity. Reason: To safeguard and promote biodiversity in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

The submitted and hereby approved Landscape Strategy and Landscape Plan Drg No. 2230 20 Rev B shall be implemented no later than the end of the first planting season following the first occupation of the development hereby approved. All landscaped 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: In the interests of visual amenity and 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 as in accordance with policies D2, D19 and D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

If, during the works contamination is encountered which has not previously been identified, including asbestos containing materials (ACM) then the contamination shall be fully assessed and an appropriate remediation scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Reason: To protect the health of future occupiers of the site from any possible effects of contaminated land.
