Prior to the first use/occupation of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the Water Management Statement contained in the Rural Planning Co Planning Statement March 2024 update and approved in relation to planning approval W/23/01036/FUL shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter. Reason: To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDP29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until the first 5.0 metres of the access into the development, measured from the edge of the carriageway, has been surfaced in a bound material.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety in accordance with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway in accordance with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The development hereby permitted shall not be first occupied until sheltered and secure cycle parking to comply with the Council’s adopted highway design guide has been provided in accordance with details which shall first be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and thereafter the approved cycle parking shall be kept available for the parking of bicycles only.
Reason: To comply with the Council’s parking standards in accordance with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) (or any order revoking, re-enacting, substituting, amending, extending, consolidating, replacing or modifying that Order), no additions, extensions or external alterations, new windows or other openings, building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house [other than those expressly authorised by this permission] shall be constructed/carried out on the application site following the completion/first use of the development hereby permitted.
Reason: (i) To control development of this rural site in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality in accordance with Policies SWDP1, SWDP21 and SWDP25, and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. and (ii) because the development hereby approved is allowed in lieu of the extant approval granted under the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) Part 3 Class Q for an agricultural barn conversion (Council reference W/23/00217/GPDQ) which is subject to the limitations of the GPDO including that the building cannot be extended beyond its existing envelope as part of that conversion, and the extant approval for a dwelling granted under planning reference W/23/01036/FUL which was subject to a similar restriction of permitted development rights condition.
Prior to the occupation of the development hereby permitted, details of renewable or low carbon energy generating facilities to be incorporated as part of the development shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall demonstrate that at least 10% of the predicted energy requirements of the development will be met through the use of renewable/low carbon energy generating facilities. The approved facilities shall be provided prior to any part of the development hereby permitted being first occupied or in accordance with a timetable submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority as part of the details required by this condition.
Reason: To ensure the proposed development includes sufficient renewable/low carbon energy generating facilities to comply with Policy SWDP27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Before the first use/occupation of the development hereby permitted, a scheme of landscaping shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The landscaping scheme shall include:- (i) a plan(s) showing details of all existing trees and hedges on the application site. The plan should include, for each tree/hedge, the accurate position, canopy spread and species, together with an indication of any proposals for felling/pruning and any proposed changes in ground level, or other works to be carried out, within the canopy spread. (ii) a plan(s) showing the layout of proposed tree, hedge and shrub planting and grass areas. (iii) a schedule of proposed planting - indicating species, sizes at time of planting and numbers/densities of plants. (iv) a written specification outlining cultivation and other operations associated with plant and grass establishment. (v) a schedule of maintenance, including watering and the control of competitive weed growth, for a minimum period of five years from first planting. All planting and seeding/turfing shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details in the first planting and seeding/turfing seasons following the completion or first occupation/use of the development, whichever is the sooner. The planting shall be maintained in accordance with the approved schedule of maintenance. 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 similar size and species.
Reason - (i) 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 the South Worcestershire Development Plan, and (ii) To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Before the development hereby approved is first occupied, all the existing outbuildings as shown or indicated on the approved plans including the residential caravan and any resulting debris/materials shall be permanently removed from the site.
Reason: (i) In the interests of visual amenity and to preserve the appearance of the site in accordance with policies SWDP21 and SWDP25 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. (ii) In addition, the existing residential caravan represents unauthorised development and a second home in this location would not represent sustainable development and would be contrary to the development location strategy set out in policy SWDP2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Before the first occupation of the development hereby permitted, details of a bat roosting feature and bird nesting box shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details to be submitted shall include an implementation timetable. The features shall be provided in accordance with the approved details and the approved timetable.
Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
