Drawing No.s HWCB/P3758/01 & Photographs.
Conditions
1. The development hereby authorised must be begun not later than the expiration of 3 years from the date of this permission, failing which the permission shall be of no effect.
Reason: This condition is imposed by virtue of the provisions of the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and to prevent the accumulation of unimplemented planning permissions.
2. The development hereby authorised shall be carried out in complete accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: In order to ensure the development is carried out in accordance with the approved details and in the interests of amenity.
3. External artificial lighting as part of the development shall be directed away from the River Lee Navigation and shall be focused with cowlings.
Reason: To minimise light spill from the new development into the watercourse or adjacent river corridor habitat. Artificial lighting disrupts the natural diurnal rhythms of a range of wildlife using and inhabiting the river and its corridor habitat.
4. There shall be no permanent storage of materials related to the development within five metres of the River Lea Navigation along the entire length of the site. This area must be suitably marked and protected during development.
Reason: To reduce the impact of the proposed development on the river buffer zone and the movement of wildlife along the river corridor.
5. Before development commences, an ecological enhancement plan, including long term design objectives, management responsibilities and maintenance schedules for all enhancement areas, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority
Reason: To protect and enhance the natural features and character of the area.

Reason: Use of locally native plants in landscaping is essential to benefit local wildlife and to help maintain the region's natural balance of flora. Native insects, birds and other animals cannot survive without the food and shelter that native plants provide - introduced plants usually offer little of our native wildlife.
7. That a detailed scheme for the provision of refuse, waste storage and recycling within the site shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the works. Such a scheme as approved shall be implemented and permanently retained thereafter to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.
