Tree protection shall be installed as shown on Sharon Hosegood Associates 'Tree Protection Plan' drawing number SHA 626TPP Rev D dated 16th February 2018.

10.    Prior to any above ground works, full details of both hard and soft landscape works (including tree planting) and implementation programme (linked to the development schedule) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

11.    No development shall take place, including any ground works or demolition, until a Construction Management Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Plan shall provide for the following all clear of the highway:

safe access into the site;

a) Which parking bays will have active and/or passive charging provision, including disabled parking bays; 

b) How charging point usage will be charged amongst users; 

c) The process and the triggers for identifying when additional passive charging points will become activated; and
