This application has been approved

The following conditions and information notes are associated with the approval

Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission/consent, the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans/drawings/documents –
Site Location Plan
2328-06 B entitled ‘Site Block Plan’
2328-01 entitled ‘Polytunnel 1’
2328-02 b entitled ‘Polytunnel 2’
2328-05 a entitled ‘Polytunnel 5’

Reason: To define the permission.

All planting and seeding/turfing comprised in the submitted landscape scheme shown on drawing number 2328 - 06 b entitled 'Block Plan',, shall be carried out in the first planting season following the first use of the development. All planting shall be watered as necessary and competitive weed growth controlled to ensure successful establishment. Any trees or plants that die, or are removed; or become seriously damaged or diseased within a period of five years from the completion of the planting, shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species. Reason: To ensure the proposed development does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.

(A) No further development shall take place until a programme of archaeological work, including a Written Scheme of Investigation, has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The scheme shall include an assessment of significance and research questions; and:

1) The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording.
2) The programme for post investigation assessment.
3) Provision to be made for analysis of the site investigation and recording.
4) Provision to be made for publication and dissemination of the analysis and records of the site investigation.
5) Provision to be made for archive deposition of the analysis and records of the site investigation.
6) Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the Written Scheme of Investigation.

(B) The development shall not be occupied until the site investigation and post investigation assessment has been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) and the provision made for analysis, publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been secured.

Reason: In accordance with the requirements of SWDP 6 & 24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016 together with Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2023.

Within 1 month of the date of the permission hereby granted, detailed drainage plans for a surface water drainage strategy shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include details of surface water drainage measures and shall include a programme of long term management and maintenance. The approved surface water drainage strategy shall be implemented prior to the first use of the development and thereafter maintained in accordance with the agreed scheme.

Reason: To ensure development would not result in unacceptable risk of pollution or harm to the environment and to ensure the proposed development does not exacerbate flood risk and deals with surface water run-off from the site in a sustainable manner, in accordance with policies SWDP28, SWDP29 and SWDP 30 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.

Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:- providing pre-application advice; - seeking further information following receipt of the application; - seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.

‘Flood proofing’: The Environment Agency recommends that in areas at risk of flooding, consideration be given to the incorporation into the design and construction of the development of ‘flood proofing’ measures. These include removable barriers on building apertures such as doors and air bricks and providing electrical services into the building at a high level so that plugs are located above possible flood levels. Such measures could also be considered to protect existing property.
Additional guidance, including information on kite marked flood protection products, can be found on the Environment Agency web site at https://www.gov.uk/prepare-for-a-flood.
Details of flood resilience and resistance techniques can be found in ‘Improving the Flood Performance of New Buildings - Flood Resilient Construction’ (DCLG 2007). http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/flood_performance.pdf

A Public Right of Way (PROW) (Reference: NC-534) crosses near to the extent of the Application Site. The permission does not authorise the stopping up or diversion of the right of way. The right of way may be stopped up or diverted by Order under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990, provided that the Order is made before the development is carried out. The Applicant is reminded that:

No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without our written consent.
No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public.
Building materials must not be stored on the right of way.
No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.

If public safety demands a temporary closure of the PROW, an application should be made to the The Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at [email protected]
