Reason: In the interests of visual amenity.

No development shall take place above DPC level until samples/full details of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the dwelling hereby permitted have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason: In the interests of visual amenity.

A Landscape, Ecology and Arboricultural Management and Monitoring Plan (LEAMMP) shall be submitted to and be approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development. The content of the LEAMMP shall include the following information: Description and evaluation of features to be managed. Landscape, ecological, and Arboricultural trends and constraints on site that might influence management. Aims and objectives of management. Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives. Prescriptions for management actions. Preparation of a work schedule (including how the replacement habitat is managed and monitored for the duration of the development) How contingencies and/or remedial action will be identified and implemented. The LEAMMP shall be implemented in full in accordance with the approved details for the duration of the development. 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.

No external lighting will be installed during the lifetime of the development, unless otherwise approved by the Local Planning Authority. Where external lighting is to be installed, a lighting scheme for barbastelle and other bat species will be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authorities. 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 shall accord with the latest guidance in lighting regarding bats and the most up to date Technical Guidance at the time of submission. 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 any other 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.

A Reasonable Avoidance Measures Method Statement (RAMMS) must be submitted to and agreed upon by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of works that details how impacts to bats will be avoided during construction. 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.

All large areas of glazing facing the northern and southern hedgerows will be of glazing that limits light spillage so that light levels do not adversely disturb bats and other species using their territory or having access to resting places. Details of the glazing to limit light spillage will be submitted and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the installation. The glazing will be installed as agreed. No other type of glazing shall be used to replace faulty glazing unless it achieves the same or better results in terms of light spill than the agreed specification. Reason: A pre-commencement condition in the interests of the 'Favourable Conservation Status' of populations of European protected species, UK protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

The works to The Granary (as named within the Ecological Impact Assessment by HalpinRobbins, dated 11th September 2023) 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 copy of a letter from Natural England confirming that the works fall within the remit of a Bat Mitigation Class Licence (WML-CL21) and that the site has been registered in accordance with the class licence; or a statement in writing from the licensed bat ecologist to the effect that they do not consider that the specified development will require a licence. Reason: A pre-commencement condition in the interests of the 'Favourable Conservation Status' of populations of European protected species, UK protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity

Works will not commence until: Construction operatives have been inducted by a licensed bat ecologist to make them aware of the possible presence of bats, their legal protection and of working practices to avoid harming bats. Written confirmation of the induction will be submitted to the Local Planning Authority by the licensed bat ecologist within one week of the toolbox talk. A Beaumaris Woodstone Bat Box to provide a suitable alternative roosting location, to accommodate any discovered bat(s), will be hung on a suitable tree or building on or adjacent to the site at a minimum height of 4 metres as directed by a licensed bat ecologist. Any such box will be maintained in-situ thereafter. Photographs showing their installation will be submitted to the Local Planning Authority. Works potentially affecting bats will then proceed under the supervision of the licensed bat ecologist. Reason: A pre-commencement condition in the interests of the 'Favourable Conservation Status' of populations of European protected species, UK protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

No vegetation removal or works to or demolition of buildings or structures shall take place between 1st March and 30th September inclusive, unless a competent ecologist has undertaken a careful, detailed check for active birds' nests immediately before the vegetation is cleared or works to or demolition of buildings commences and provided written confirmation that no birds will be harmed and/or that there are appropriate measures in place to protect nesting bird interest on site. Any such written confirmation should be submitted to the Local Planning Authority by the ecologist accompanied by dated photos showing the site before and after clearance. In no circumstances should netting be used to exclude nesting birds. Reason: In the interests of nesting wild birds and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

A Biodiversity Enhancement (and Mitigation) Plan (BEP) shall be submitted to, and be approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development. The mitigation/enhancements should be retained thereafter and should include the following: Compensatory roost provision for the loss of long-eared day roost (as recommended in the Ecological Impact Assessment by HalpinRobbins, dated 11th September 2023) Compensatory roost provision for the loss of common pipistrelle day roost (as recommended in the Ecological Impact Assessment by HalpinRobbins, dated 11th September 2023) A bee brick built into the wall about 1 metre above ground level on the south or southeast elevation of the dwelling. Compensatory nesting opportunities for a variety of bird species (as recommended in the Ecological Impact Assessment by HalpinRobbins, dated 11th September 2023). Reason: In accordance with Government policy for the enhancement of biodiversity within development as set out in paragraph 174(d) of the National Planning Policy Framework.
