Part (b) - All windows marked on the approved plans to be obscure glazed shall be obscure glazed prior to occupation of the dwelling and shall remain obscure glazed in perpetuity thereafter. Part (c) - The materials shown on the approved plan are marked as indicative; if materials other than those shown are proposed, prior to use of such materials details shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority and the development shall be constructed in accordance with those details. The reason for the condition is :- For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
2.(a) There shall be no demolition of the northern arm of the Thatched Barn or the office building extension at the southern end of the Thatched Barn unless the works take place under the supervision of a qualified ecologist with a relevant bat license. (b) Demolition of either structure shall not commence until the immediate areas around these buildings have first been appropriately assessed by the ecologist with walkover survey undertaken no more than 24 hours before commencement of demolition works. The placement of works storage containers such as skips, and parking areas for machinery and vehicles, shall all be surveyed by the ecologist prior to their introduction on the site. (c) The works of demolition shall be undertaken carefully in piecemeal fashion, carefully dismantling the structure to ensure there is no disruption to habitat of protected species or harm thereto, under the supervision of a qualified ecologist with relevant bat license. (d) Any damage caused to the thatched barn shall be made good in materials to match the surrounding elevations of the building within 28 days of the damage occurring. Any openings created in the exterior of the thatched barn shall only be sealed up or filled in once it has been ascertained that no wildlife has gained access to and taken up residence in the thatched barn. (e) All demolition wastes must be disposed of into a skip immediately, and shall not be stored on the ground outside of appropriate reptile and amphibian-proof containers. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that the development hereby approved does not cause harm to a species protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended), by removing the opportunities for protected species to inhabit works areas.
3.No works of demolition, concrete slab removal, site clearance or other construction groundworks shall take place until such time as an updated reptile and bat survey of the areas to be subject to groundworks, clearance and demolition have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details of that reptile and bat survey shall include either appropriate demonstration that there is no protected species presence in the intended works area; or in the event of such species being present, shall propose suitable protection and mitigation measures. If protected species are present, evidence shall be submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority to confirm that an appropriate European Protected Species Licence is being sought for the same area and the works proposed. The development shall thereafter proceed in strict accordance with the approved details. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that the development hereby approved does not cause harm to species or habitat protected under Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended) or Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017) (as amended), with particular regard to the time-limited nature of the EPS licence which has been applied for, and considered approved by Natural England, which ends on 30 September 2022.
4.Any chemicals that are to be used to treat the timber within the thatched barn hereby approved to be converted to two dwellings shall only be used if they are from Natural England's approved list at Appendix E of the Ecological Assessment ref 2016-57 R1, submitted in support of the application approved by permission 06/17/0358/F, or such updated list of suitable chemicals as may be currently approved by Natural England. The treatment shall be applied by painting and shall not be sprayed. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that the development hereby approved does not cause harm to a species protected under Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended).
5.There shall be no storage of any demolition or construction materials directly on the ground during the development hereby permitted. All site arisings and materials shall be stored immediately in suitable containers to prevent reptile or bird occupation and all materials storage areas shall be removed or relocated only under supervision of a qualified ecologist. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that the development hereby approved does not cause harm to a species protected under Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended), by removing the opportunities for protected species to inhabit works areas.
6.Part (a) - Only the trees identified within the Arboricultural Impact Assessment (reference OAS 23-001-AR01 Rev B) to be felled shall be felled. Part (b) - With the exception of demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), there shall be no commencement of the development hereby permitted until all tree protection measures have first been installed and made operational in accordance with the details within the Arboricultural Impact Assessment hereby approved (reference OAS 23-001-AR01 Rev B). The protection measures shall thereafter remain in situ for the period defined within the above referenced submitted documents. The reason for the condition is:- The existing trees represent an important visual amenity which the Local Planning Authority consider should be substantially maintained, in accordance with Policies CS11 and E5.
7.Part (a) - With the exception of demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), no further development shall take place until a Protected Species Survey has first been undertaken across the site and the results submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For clarity, 'further development' in this context means any concrete slab removal, site clearance, any other construction groundworks, and demolition of any buildings or structures other than the earlier demolition of either the northern arm of the thatched barn or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn. The Protected Species Survey shall include grass snake surveys and shall be undertaken prior to, at most, two years of the intended development commencement date, and must be undertaken during the period of April - October. Part (b) - In the event that protected species are found in addition to those recorded in 2017, whether in type or in their distribution across the site, appropriate mitigation measures shall be provided to address the impacts of the development on these protected species. The details of the mitigation measures proposed shall first be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, and the development shall thereafter be undertaken in strict accordance with the approved mitigation details. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that the development hereby approved does not cause harm to a species protected under Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended), by ensuring that the development proceeds with the benefit of the most up to date awareness of on-site species presence, given that such reports are considered valid for two years only and the original survey report as submitted is more than two years old.
8.With the exception of the demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), no further development shall be undertaken until details of the siting of: - 9 Kent Bat Boxes, and - 15no Schweglar bat tubes, have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details to be provided shall ensure that - (i) The Schweglar bat tubes will be incorporated into the gable walls of the new houses. These boxes fit into the cavities of a wall with only a letter box type slot shown; and, (ii) The Kent Bat Boxes will be erected on three of the retained trees close to the site entrance, three to a tree, one facing north, one south-east and one south-west, at a height of 5-6 metres. If these are erected before any tree works to those particular trees are undertaken, the tree works shall only be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified ecologist with bat licence. These bat boxes and tubes shall be erected in accordance with the approved details prior to commencement of any of the development other than demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn. The boxes and tubes shall be retained in perpetuity thereafter and should they fail they shall be replaced with an identical item in an identical location as soon as practical or within 28 days of the failure, unless otherwise first agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. For clarity, failure includes removal by natural or other causes, destruction by natural or other causes or the box becoming unfit for purpose. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure adequate mitigation and protection is afforded to protected species.
9.With the exception of the demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), there shall be no further development undertaken until the site has first been investigated for the presence of Japanese Knotweed and the results submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Should Japanese Knotweed be found to be present on site, no further development shall take place until the details of a mitigation strategy including biosecurity measures for machinery and equipment, and a plan for remediation works and verification of those remediation works, have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This condition shall apply notwithstanding any information provided within previous applications including the information provided under application 06/19/0328/CD and 06/21/0917/F, due to the passage of time since that survey and the suggestion within recent ecological reports that Japanese Knotweed still remains on site. The reason for the condition is:- To ensure that Japanese Knotweed which was present on the site previously has definitively been eradicated and to ensure that there is no spread of the plant.
10.With the exception of demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), there shall be no further development undertaken until a scheme for providing the Temporary Receptor Area for reptile relocation has first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details of the scheme shall be based on the specifications proposed within the Applied Ecology report dated 15th October 2021, and in the location shown therein (2021 report Figure 3), but shall also include as a minimum: - An area measuring no less than 510m2 as proposed in the Ecology report; - Any additional planting needed to support reptile habitat; - Provision of temporary refugia and hibernation areas; - Appropriate reptile fencing to separate the area from the construction site / remainder of the development; - Appropriate fencing to protect the area from domestic animals and predators; - Continued access to the adjacent pond; and, - The details shall also include a proposed specification for management and maintenance schedules and timescales for ongoing care and repair. The Temporary Receptor Area for reptile relocation shall be provided and the refuge area shall be fenced off from the construction site before development works continue (other than demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier)) in strict accordance with the approved details. The temporary reptile habitat refuge area shall thereafter be retained for the duration of the construction period until the reptiles and rescued species are permanently relocated elsewhere and the permanent receptor area is completed in accordance with the terms of the conditions of this permission. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that grass snakes and other species protected from harm under the Wildlife and Countryside Act are provided with an adequate alternative habitat on a temporary basis during construction.
11.With the exception of demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), there shall be no further development until a reptile-proof fence has first been installed to the following specifications: (a) the reptile-proof fence shall enclose the whole of the application site outlined in red within Figure 3 of the Applied Ecology report dated 15th October 2021, and the west side of the temporary receptor area shown in Figure 3, but shall not enclose the north-west side of the temporary receptor area shown in Figure 3, and shall not enclose the access points to the Byway running through the site nor the vehicular point(s) into the site required for construction activities and personnel. (b) the reptile-proof fence to be used shall be suitable to prevent reptiles from accessing the construction site, to the specifications set out within Appendix A of the submitted Applied Ecology report dated 15th October 2021. (c) The requirement to enclose the application site in accordance with part (a) of this condition shall apply notwithstanding the suggestions of Figure 3 and paragraph 2.8 of the Applied Ecology report. (d) The fencing shall be repaired and / or replaced immediately on an identical basis as soon as any damage occurs to the fence or if it is removed for whatever reason prior to the removal period allowed by this permission. (e) Other than the period of demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), and the period of constructing the open space adjacent Plots 25 - 26 and the gardens of Plots 26 - 35 (as required by other conditions of this permission), the reptile proof fencing shall remain in place for the duration of the demolition, site clearance and construction periods until such time. (f) Prior to the construction of the open space adjacent Plots 25 - 26 and the gardens of Plots 26 - 35, the reptile proof fencing shall be relocated from the boundary of these areas to the outer perimeter boundary of the temporary reptile receptor area. The reason for the condition is:- To ensure the adequate mitigation for protected species resident on site and to prevent recolonisation of the site during construction which may cause them harm.
12.With the exception of demolition of the northern arm of the thatched barn and / or demolition of the office building extension at the southern end of the thatched barn (whichever is the earlier), there shall be no further development until a programme of reptile trapping (including grass snakes) has been undertaken and completed across the whole application site. Reptile trapping shall be undertaken across the whole site and shall take account of the findings of the updated protected species survey required by Condition 7 of this permission. Reptile trapping shall be undertaken in accordance with the survey and trapping methodology set out within paragraphs 2.10 - 2.14 of the approved Applied Ecology report dated 15th October 2021. Trapping shall be designed for grass snakes in particular, to be relocated to the temporary receptor area, but shall also remove any protected or endangered species of small mammals/amphibians found in the site for relocation to alternative habitat(s). All reptile trapping shall be undertaken only during the period April - September inc. All reptiles shall be relocated to the temporary receptor area or permanent refuge and relocation areas as may be in place at the time (as required by other conditions of this permission). The reason for the condition is:- To ensure the adequate protection for animals that are resident on site and to ensure they are provided with an adequate alternative habitat.
13.Site clearance shall only take place following the completion of the reptile trapping programme across the whole site as required by Condition 12 of this permission. Site clearance shall thereafter only be undertaken in accordance with the following methodology: (a) Any clearance of vegetation will be undertaken carefully, first cutting and wooden vegetation down to a height of 150mm that should then be removed from the site. The site will then be searched before cutting vegetation down to less than 150mm. Any vegetation will be raked and removed from the site. After 3 days, the area will again be searched and cut vegetation removed from the site. The site can then be cleared. Unless otherwise agreed, cutting should be undertaken in September when the reptiles are still active but outside the bird nesting season. At completion, the ecologist shall confirm that the site has been cleared and the works can continue. (b) Any existing rubble or other potential places of rest shall be removed by hand so that animals can be relocated. Unless otherwise agreed, removal should be undertaken in September when the reptiles are still active but outside the bird nesting season. (c) All demolition waste shall be placed either directly into a skip or lorry so that further rubble piles and therefore potential hibernation areas are not created. (d) No piles of loose sand or other granular materials into which amphibians could bury themselves should be left accessible around the site. All such materials should ideally be delivered in bags and kept in such bags until required for use. Bags should be stored on pallets. If it is essential to deliver loose materials, these should only be dug into by hand - alternatively, loose piles could be suitably fenced. (e) No bonfires should be lit on site. (f) All trenches should be left covered at night, and provided with a small mammal ladder to allow animals to escape. Trenches must be checked in the morning before they are filled in. Any animals found must be moved into the temporary reptile habitat of if that has been removed the permanent nature mitigation land. The reason for the condition is:- To ensure the adequate protection for animals that are resident on site.
14.The temporary reptile receptor relocation area shall not be removed until such time as the permanent reptile relocation habitat has first been provided and fenced-off from the construction site, and all trapped reptiles have been transferred from the temporary receptor area to the permanent receptor relocation area under the supervision of a qualified ecologist. The reason for the condition is:- To ensure the adequate protection for animals that are resident on site and to ensure they are provided with an adequate alternative habitat.
15.There shall be no commencement of the conversion of the Thatched Barn interior until a bat loft measuring 10m long x 5m wide and at least 2m high has first been installed within the roof space, with access through the barn gables, and other openings in the external wall fabric have first been made, in strict accordance with the specifications and locations shown in Appendix C of the Ecology Assessment report ref 2016-57 R1 submitted with application 06/17/0358/F. All works shall be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified ecologist and licenced bat worker. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure adequate provision of bat roosting area is made available in accordance with the submitted details.
16.With the exception of demolition works, there shall be no further development undertaken until the trial trenching and archaeological investigations have first been undertaken in accordance with the detailed programme of investigation set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation report 'Informative trenching as part of a programme of archaeological mitigatory works' dated July 2021, report ref: ENF 151992 (HES site ref: CNF47507), received by the Local Planning Authority on 25th November 2021. There shall be no residential occupation within the development until the archaeological site investigation and post investigation assessment has first been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation report and until the provision for analysis, publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been secured. The reason for the condition is:- The proposed development site lies within an area where there is a high potential that heritage assets with archaeological interest (buried archaeological remains) will be present at the site and the condition is required to ensure their significance will not be adversely affected by the proposed development, in accordance with the expectations of the National Planning Policy Framework.
17.With the exception of demolition works and trial trenching and archaeological investigations, no works shall take place on the site until such time as detailed plans of the roads, footways, cycleways, foul and surface water drainage have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Highway Authority. All construction works shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved plans. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure satisfactory development of the site and a satisfactory standard of highway design and construction.
18.With the exception of demolition works and trial trenching and archaeological investigations, no works shall take place on the site until a scheme detailing provision for on-site parking for Construction workers for the duration of the construction period has first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall thereafter be implemented throughout the construction period in accordance with the approved details. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure parked vehicles do not adversely affect highway users.
19.With the exception of demolition works and trial trenching and archaeological investigations, no works shall take place on the site until such time as details have first been provided to demonstrate that an application has been made to the local highway authority for promoting an appropriate Stopping Up / Diversion Order to remove all highway rights subsisting in the highway land / Byway Open to All Traffic indicated on Proposed Byway Plan drawing 15.032-100 rev F approved within permission 06/17/0358/F. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure a satisfactory form of development. The requirement to provide details of the appropriate application having been made to the local highway authority is considered an appropriate alternative to the former requirement of condition 11 of permission 06/17/0358/F to require the stopping up order / diversion order to have been granted and all highway rights to have been successfully removed by the same stage of development.
20.With the exception of demolition works and trial trenching and archaeological investigations, there shall be no development undertaken until detailed designs of a Surface Water Drainage Scheme have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Scheme shall be based on the proposals within the Create Consulting Engineers, Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy; Ref: JJ/CC/P16- 1156/01 Revision B, May 2017, received by the Local Planning Authority on 18th July 2018, as submitted within application 06/17/0358/F, and as amended by Drainage Strategy Report Rev A Addendum Statement B - Residential-led Development, Land at Somerton Road, Martham, Norfolk - Schema Ref: 565/DS/B/Addendum Letter B Dated: 30.10.25.

41.ADVISORY NOTES - Please read the following advisory notes carefully:- Informative 1 - Planning obligations and Section 106 Agreement: This planning permission is subject to planning obligations contained within a Section 106 agreement dated the 15th February 2019 and subsequent Deed of Variation dated 12th April 2022. The Agreement includes obligations towards affordable housing provision, public open space provision, sustainable drainage system management and maintenance, and financial contributions towards: off-site public open space; off-site childrens play and recreation facilities; international habitat mitigation; education facilities for all ages; and library services. More specifically the Agreement currently requires: · 9 affordable dwellings to be provided on site (20%) comprising 5no. affordable rent tenure (55%) and 4no. shared ownership tenure (45%). · £16,512 index linked for off-site open space enhancements. · 482sqm open space to be provided on site. · £41,400 index linked for children's play facilities enhancement in Martham. · Sustainable drainage system management and maintenance obligations. · £116,440 index linked for local academy and nursery school expansion. · £46,576 index linked for early education provider expansion. · £3,375 index linked for library services enhancements. · £4,950 index linked for designated sites habitat impact mitigation. Informative 2 - works within the highway: It is an OFFENCE to carry out any works within the Public Highway, which includes a Public Right of Way, without the permission of the Highway Authority. This development involves work to the public highway that can only be undertaken within the scope of a Legal Agreement between the applicant and the County Council. Please note that it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that, in addition to planning permission, any necessary Agreements under the Highways Act 1980 are also obtained. Advice on this matter can be obtained from the County Council's Highways Development Management Group based at County Hall in Norwich. Public Utility apparatus may be affected by this proposal. Contact the appropriate utility service to reach agreement on any necessary alterations, which have to be carried out at the expense of the developer. If required, street furniture will need to be repositioned at the applicant's expense. Informative 3 - Stopping-Up Order to the public highway: The imposition of the above Condition 19 does not in any way infer that Norfolk County Council, as Local Highway Authority, will support a formal application for a Stopping Up Order to remove highway rights. In addition, statutory undertakers have a right to object to the granting of a Stopping Order, which may prevent this development from progressing in its current format. Informative 4 - Anglian Water assets: Anglian Water has assets close to or crossing this site or there are assets subject to an adoption agreement. Therefore the site layout should take this into account and accommodate those assets within either prospectively adoptable highways or public open space. If this is not practicable then the sewers will need to be diverted at the developers cost under Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991 or, in the case of apparatus under an adoption agreement, liaise with the owners of the apparatus. It should be noted that the diversion works should normally be completed before development can commence. Informative 5 - Japanese Knotweed: Further to the requirements of Condition 9 of this permission, the applicant and developer are advised that Japanese Knotweed should be reported to the Norfolk Non-Native Species Initiative (NNNSI). NNNSI are linked with the local biodiversity information service and their website is a good starting point for advice and guidance for the applicant regarding this species. More information can be found at: https://www.nnnsi.org/invasive-non-native-species/japanese-knotweed/. During the building works at the site every precaution must be taken not to spread fragments of the plant during excavation or removal of any soil or waste from the site. Further information on Biosecurity and Check-Clean-Dry can be found http://www.nonnativespecies.org/checkcleandry/
42.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner. HABITATS REGULATIONS: It is confirmed that the shadow Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) submitted within application 06/17/0358/F remains suitable for the Borough Council as competent authority to use as the HRA record for the determination of the planning application, in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. It is considered that suitable mitigation measures have been secured within the application to avoid a likely significant effect on designated habitat sites. In this instance the Borough Council has considered there is no likely significant effect on protected habitats arising solely from the development itself. Although the development would contribute to the overall in-combination significant adverse effect identified by the Habitats Regulations Assessment Report for the Local Plan, this effect will be adequately mitigated by the following combined measures: - financial contributions due to be paid under the Habitats Monitoring and Mitigation Strategy, totalling £4,950.00 index linked as required as part of the developer's obligations in the Section 106 Agreement dated 15th February 2019, as varied by Deed of Variation on 12th April 2022; and, - financial contributions already paid by the applicant through advance payment of £9,041.82 towards the GIRAMS scheme (received 27/01/2026).
