Planning Permission on 5th March 2024
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Related application(s): P24/S1216/DIS, P24/S1302/DIS

This permission shall expire after a period of 4 years from the date hereof, and the structures hereby permitted and all associated materials shall be removed from the land by the expiry date of this permission. Reason: In view of the temporary nature of the development in accordance with Policies DES1, DES2 and ENV1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, 22 2769, 22 2770, 22 2661, 5021296 RDG XX ST PL A 0003 Rev P03, 5021296 RDG XX ST PL A 0002 Rev P02, 5021296 RDG XX ST PL A 0001 Rev P02, 5021296 RDG XX XX EL A 0004 Rev P02 and 5021296 RDG XX XX EL A 0005 Rev P01, except as controlled or modified by conditions of this permission. Reason: To secure the proper planning of the area in accordance with Development Plan policies.

Within 2 months of the first use of the structures hereby approved, a Landscape and Ecology Management Plan (LEMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The content of the LEMP shall include the following: a) Description and evaluation of features to be managed. b) Ecological trends and constraints on site that might influence management. c) Proposals for ecological enhancements for habitats (woodland and grassland) and species. d) Aims and objectives of management. e) Appropriate management options for achieving aims and objectives. f) Prescriptions for management actions. g) Preparation of a work schedule (including an annual work plan capable of being rolled forward over a five-year period). h) Details of the body or organization responsible for implementation of the plan. i) Ongoing monitoring and remedial measures. The LEMP shall include details of the legal and funding mechanism by which the long-term implementation of the plan will be secured by the developer with the management bodies responsible for its delivery. The plan shall also set out (where the results from monitoring show that conservation aims and objectives of the LEMP are not being met) how contingencies and/or remedial action will be identified, agreed and implemented so that the development still delivers the fully functioning biodiversity objectives of the originally approved scheme. The approved plan will be implemented in accordance with the approved details and management prescriptions implemented across the site for the plan period. REASON: To ensure that habitats are created and managed for biodiversity to maximise their ecological value and deliver a biodiversity net gain, in line with Policies ENV2 and ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan.

Prior to the first use of the development hereby permitted a certificate confirming the agreement of an Offsetting Provider to deliver a Biodiversity Offsetting Scheme, totalling a minimum of 0.20 area biodiversity units, shall have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The written approval of the Council shall not be issued before the certificate has been issued by the Offset Provider. The details of biodiversity enhancements shall be documented by the Offset Provider and issued to the Council for their records. Reason: To compensate for the net loss of biodiversity resulting from the development by providing biodiversity enhancements offsite in accordance with Policy ENV3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan and paragraphs 180 and 186 of the NPPF.

The development hereby approved shall be implemented in full accordance with the method statements for mitigating construction impacts on protected species (badger, nesting birds, bats, reptiles and amphibians) set out in Sections 4.8 to 4.20 of the Ecological Impact Appraisal report submitted with the application (Nicholsons, dated June 2023). Any variation shall be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority before such change is made. REASON: To ensure adverse construction effects on protected species are avoided in line with Policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan

The exterior of the development hereby permitted shall only be constructed in the materials specified on the plans/supporting documents 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 Policies DES1 and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The tree protection details as shown on the approved Arboricultural Impact Assessment date June 2023 Ref: 22-2811 and shown on the Draft Tree Protection Plan shall be put in place prior to any on site works including demolition and thereafter retained in situ for the duration of development. Reason: To safeguard trees which are visually important in accordance with Policies ENV1, DES1, and DES2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
