The planning permission hereby granted is for a 25 year period from the date of the first operation of the battery facility. Written notification of the date of first operation shall be given to the local planning authority no later than 14 days after the event. Thereafter the site shall be restored within an agreed period of time upon the cessation of the use or the expiry of 25 years whichever is the sooner in accordance with details to be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: Permission has been granted having regard to the temporary nature of the development and its impact on the area in accordance with Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policy G2 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.
The exterior of the development hereby permitted shall only be constructed in the materials specified on the application forms and in section 5.1 of the Planning Design and Access Statement hereby approved or in materials which shall previously have been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: In the interests of the visual appearance of the development in accordance with Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policies G2 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
Prior to the commencement of the development (including vegetation clearance, tree felling or preparatory ground works) a construction environmental management plan for Biodiversity (CEMP: Biodiversity) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The CEMP (Biodiversity) shall include the following:
a) Updated ecological surveys for relevant habitats and species (update surveys shall follow national good practice guidelines).
b) Risk assessment of potentially damaging construction activities.
c) Identification of "biodiversity protection zones".
d) Practical measures (both physical measures and sensitive working practices) to avoid, reduce or mitigate the impacts on important habitats and protected species during construction.
e) The location and timing of sensitive works to avoid harm to biodiversity features.
f) The times during construction when specialist ecologists need to be present on site to oversee works.
g) Responsible persons and lines of communication.
h) Use of protective fences, exclusion barriers and warning signs.
i) An assessment as to whether any derogation licences from Natural England will be required to implement the development lawfully.
Thereafter the approved CEMP (Biodiversity) shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the construction period strictly in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To protect the important species on the site in accordance with provisions of the NPPF and policies CSB1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and C8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

d) Responsible organisations and persons for each stage of management, with contact details
e) A specific and proportional protected species mitigation and enhancement strategy based on the findings of surveys required under condition 4(a)
f) The woodland management plan should cover a period of 25 years, with a review of the habitat management plan being undertaken every 5 years allowing for revision as suitable.
Thereafter the approved woodland management plan shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the plan period strictly in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To protect the important species on the site and ensure that there is no net loss of biodiversity, in accordance with provisions of the NPPF and Policies CSB1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and C6 and C9 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
