The application discharged condition 3 of planning permission PA 21/00036/B, which required details of bat boxes to be submitted and approved before or during works. The underlying permission covers the conversion of existing stable, store and kennel buildings at Oatlands Farm into 12 tourist accommodation units, a wellness spa, a café, and a residential apartment, along with a new equestrian arena, associated stable block, and relocation of an existing agricultural building. Bat box provision is a standard ecological mitigation measure required where development affects buildings that may be used by bats. The submitted details were assessed and found to satisfy the condition.
The bat box details submitted were judged to meet the requirements of condition 3, allowing the condition to be discharged and the wider development to proceed in compliance with its ecological mitigation obligations.
