Reason: In the interest of highways safety as in accordance with policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

Within 6 weeks of the date of this decision, a Construction Management Plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The plan shall include construction vehicle movements, construction vehicular routes to and from site, construction delivery hours, expected number of construction vehicles per day, car parking for contractors, specific measures to be adopted to mitigate construction impacts in pursuance of the Environmental Code of Construction Practice and a scheme to encourage the use of public transport amongst contractors. The development shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the approved Construction Management Plan. Reason: In the interest of highways safety as in accordance with policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

The areas allocated for parking and turning on the submitted and hereby approved "Proposed Site Plan Drg No. 50601-51 Rev.

Reason: In the interest of highways safety as in accordance with policy D14 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted and hereby approved "Construction Environmental Management Plan Version 2". Reason: in the interest of biodiversity enhancement as in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.

The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance wit hthe "Landscape, Ecology and Arboricultural Management and Monitoring Plan - April 2024 (Fenswood Ecology)" Reason: In the interests of the 'Favourable Conservation Status' of populations of European and UK protected species, UK priority species and habitats listed on s41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 - Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

Within 6 weeks of the date of this decision, a Biodiversity Enhancement, Mitigation and Compensation Plan shall be submitted to and be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The plan will detail how the measures will be successfully implemented with the inclusion of a planting and works schedule and a colour plan that identifies the location of features to be installed. The measures shall be installed prior to the first use of the car park hereby approved, and shall include the following, unless otherwise agreed to by the Local Planning Authority, and maintained thereafter in perpetuity: The existing waterbody to the west of the main building will be enhanced to deliver a pond for wildlife. The design must be suitable to support native aquatic species and shall include suitable substrate, depths, and marginal planting to encourage natural colonisation by wildlife. Stocking with aquatic vegetation and fauna should not be undertaken due to the risks associated with the introduction of invasive species, parasites and/or diseases. Appropriate seed mixes will be sown consisting of native, species rich wildflower and grasses in all areas where establishment is likely to be successful. The species and origin selected should fit in with the surrounding habitat by selecting species that are suited to the prevailing soil type, location, and conditions (for example, Emorsgate Seeds have specific habitat-based mixtures and advice). At least 84 trees will be planted that comprise mature native specimens. Species should be native broadleaved species with a mixture of fruit trees (cherry, plum, apple) and deciduous woodland species (i.e., hazel, oak, field maple, and beech). At least 112m of species rich hedgerow will be provided. The new hedgerow will be planted with native species comprised of a minimum of 5 of the following species: hazel, blackthorn, hawthorn, field maple, elder, elm, dog rose, bird cherry and spindle. Hedgerows should be managed to promote a greater range of age classes and native species through appropriate planting and management of hedgerow species and understorey. Nesting provisions for birds provided within retained mature trees on site which must include at least 3x open fronted, 3x 25mm hole and 2x 45mm hole type boxes. Under no circumstances should south or west elevations be used, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. Woodcrete or WoodStone boxes should be used where possible due to increased durability and thermal stability. Installation/construction of deadwood log refugia piles as a shelter for reptiles, invertebrates, amphibians and small mammals. Advice can be found here: Log Piles for Wildlife | Garden Advice - The RSPB. 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

Prior to the installation of any external lighting, a lighting design for bats and other light sensitive species, following Guidance Note 08/23 - bats and artificial lighting at night (ILP and BCT 2023), 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 4 and Step 5 of Guidance Note 08/23, including submission of contour plans illustrating Lux levels. Lux levels should be below 0.2 lux on the horizontal plane, and at or below 0.4 lux on the vertical plane on the identified key & supporting horseshoe bat features and habitats, and no more than 0.5 lux on features and habitats potentially used by other species. 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.
