Variations to the approved CMP to accommodate phasing shall be submitted with the subsequent reserved matters application for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall not be carried out otherwise than in accordance with the approved construction management plan. Reason: To ensure that the development protects the heritage asset, avoids pollution and is not unneighbourly in accordance with Policies DES6, ENV7 and ENV12 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to commencement of residential development the approved means of access onto the Hadden Hill Retail Roundabout is to be formed and laid out and constructed strictly in accordance with the local highway authority's specifications and all ancillary works specified shall be undertaken. The detailed design of the access showing the protection of the listed milestone, and any variation in the approved design of the access shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to commencement of access works. Reason: In the interest of highway safety, landscape and listed milestone in accordance with Policies TRANS5, DES1, ENV1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Reason - To safeguard the recording of archaeological matters within the site in accordance with the NPPF and Policy ENV9 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Following the approval of the Written Scheme of Investigation referred to in condition 12 and prior to commencement of the development (other than in accordance with the agreed Written Scheme of Investigation), a staged programme of archaeological evaluation and mitigation shall be carried out by the commissioned archaeological organisation in accordance with the approved Written Scheme of Investigation. The programme of work shall include all processing, research and analysis necessary to produce an accessible and useable archive and a full report for publication which shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority within two years of the completion of the field work. Reason - To safeguard the identification, recording, analysis and archiving of heritage assets before they are lost and to advance understanding of the heritage assets in their wider context through publication and dissemination of the evidence in accordance with the NPPF and Policy ENV9 of the of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Each phase shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Phase 1 shall incorporate a desk study and site walk over to identify all potential contaminative uses on site, and to inform the conceptual site model. If potential contamination is identified in Phase 1 then a Phase 2 investigation shall be undertaken. Phase 2 shall include a comprehensive intrusive investigation in order to characterise the type, nature and extent of contamination present, the risks to receptors and if significant contamination is identified to inform the remediation strategy. Phase 3 requires that a remediation strategy (for each relevant phase of development) to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure that any ground, water and associated gas contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and to ensure the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy ENV11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Any changes to the Masterplan that affect the Biodiversity Plans (BPP, CEMP and BEP) shall first be approved through the submission of an amended Biodiversity Parameter Plans. Each phase of development shall demonstrate its compliance with the BPP. Reason: To monitor and secure net gains for biodiversity, in accordance with Policies ENV2 and ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and the NPPF.

The CEMP (Biodiversity) shall include the following: a) Update 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. The approved CEMP (Biodiversity) shall be adhered to and implemented throughout the construction period strictly in accordance with the approved details. Reason: To minimise the impacts of development on biodiversity, in accordance with Policies ENV2 and ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 and the NPPF.

Concurrent with the submission of each reserved matters application, a Biodiversity Enhancement Plan (BEP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The BEP should be broadly in accordance with the outline details of habitat creation and enhancement shown on the BPP (Parameters Plan - Biodiversity) and the supporting Biodiversity Impact Calculator Assessment (Ecological Planning and Research Ltd, May 2021). The BEP should include: a) Details of habitat creation or enhancements (this could cross reference relevant landscape plans) and include suitably detailed drawings and cross sections as required. b) Details of species enhancements including relevant scale plans and drawings showing the location, elevation and type of features such as bat and bird boxes, hedgehog highways etc. as appropriate. c) Selection of appropriate strategies for creating / restoring target habitats or introducing target species; d) Selection of specific techniques and practices for establishing vegetation; e) Sources of habitat materials (e.g. plant stock) or species individuals; f) Method statement for site preparation and establishment of target features; g) Extent and location of proposed works; h) Provision of a minimum 10 metre buffer around retained and enhanced waterbodies, where relevant; i) Full details of a biodiversity metric assessment demonstrating that the detailed proposals can deliver a net gain for biodiversity. j) Details of monitoring and the submission of surveys post completion of phases to illustrate whether the projected biodiversity net gain has been achieved All biodiversity enhancement measures shall be implemented on site, maintained and retained in accordance with the approved details. All enhancements should be delivered prior to the final occupation of the relevant phase. Reason: To secure net gains for biodiversity, in accordance with Policies ENV2 and ENV3 of the SOLP35 and the NPPF.

Accompanying the submission of each reserved matters application details of original and proposed ground levels together with the slab and ridge levels of the proposed development (where appropriate), shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
