All protection measures must fully detail each phase of the development process taking into account demolition/site clearance works, all construction works and hard and soft landscaping works. Details shall include the following: • • Full survey of all trees on site and those within influencing distance on adjacent sites in accordance with BS5837*, with tree works proposals. All trees must be • plotted on a scaled site plan**, clearly and accurately depicting trunk locations, root protection areas and canopy spreads. (Provided) • • A plan** detailing all trees and hedgerows planned for retention and removal. • • A schedule of tree works for all the retained trees specifying pruning and other remedial or preventative work, whether for physiological, hazard abatement, aesthetic or operational reasons. All tree works shall be carried out in accordance with BS 3998. • • Soil assessments/survey • • Timing and phasing of works • • Site specific demolition and hard surface removal specifications • • Site specific construction specifications (e.g. in connection with foundations, bridging, water features, surfacing) • • Access arrangements and car parking • • Level changes • • Landscaping proposals • • A Tree protection plan** in accordance with BS5837* detailing all methods of protection, including but not restricted to: locations of construction exclusion zones, root protection areas, fit for purpose fencing and ground protection, service routes, works access space, material/machinery/waste storage and permanent & temporary hard surfaces. • • Soil remediation plans, where unauthorised access has damaged root protection areas in the construction exclusion zones. • • Details of the arboricultural supervision schedule.

Informatives 01 Electric Vehicle Charging Points – Footnote • • A Standard Electric Vehicle Charging Point is one which is capable of providing a continuous supply of at least 16A (3.5kW) and up to 32A (7kW). The higher output is more likely to be futureproof. • • For developments where some or all of the parking is likely to be used for shorter stay parking (30mins to 4 hours) then Fast (7-23kW) or Rapid (43kW+) charging points may be more appropriate. If Fast or Rapid charging points are proposed together with restrictions on the times that vehicles are allowed to be parked at these points then a lower number of charging points may be acceptable. • • The electrical supply of the final installation should allow the charging equipment to operate at full rated capacity. • • The installation must comply with all applicable electrical requirements in force at the time of installation. Police ALO 02 South Yorkshire Police indicate that all rear boundaries should be at least 1.8m high to prevent access into rear gardens. All doorsets allowing direct access into the home and ground floor windows should be to the required standard for Secured by Design. Lighting All external paths and car parking areas should be well lit with an LED lighting scheme and to standard BS5489 with no dark areas. 03 The planning permission is subject to a Legal Agreement (Obligation) under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The S106 Agreement is legally binding and is registered as a Local Land Charge. It is normally enforceable against the people entering into the agreement and any subsequent owner of the site. Management plan As part of the S106 the applicant is required to submit a detailed management plan for final approval by the local planning authority to demonstrate how the Public Open Space areas within the site will be managed and maintained by the applicant or management company in the long term. Ecology 04 No vegetation clearance shall take place outside of the bird breeding season (February until August) and it is recommended that vegetation works (tree or hedge cutting) or site clearance should be done outside of the nesting season. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT During the determination of the application, the Local Planning Authority worked with the applicant to consider what amendments were necessary to make the scheme acceptable. The applicant agreed to amend the scheme so that it was in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
