Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/22/03548/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development hereby permitted shall begin not later than three years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2) Part A: No development shall take place until an archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI), has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The WSI shall contain the following components:

method statements for the investigation of any archaeological remains that will be affected by the development
an outline strategy for post-excavation assessment, analysis, archive preparation, reporting and publication, including details of the timetable for each stage of the post-excavation works

The said development shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme.

Part B: This condition shall only be fully discharged when:

all elements of the archaeological fieldwork have been undertaken and the date of completion has been confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority
the post-excavation assessment, analysis and final archaeological report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall be done within 8 months of the date of completion of the archaeological fieldwork unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority
the preparation of the site archives (including the production of an archive report) for deposition at stores approved by the Local Planning Authority has been undertaken and confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the digital archive this will include confirmation of the intention to deposit with a CoreTrustSeal certified repository dedicated to storing archaeological archives.
the publication report text has been prepared for submission to a recognised archaeological journal, or an approved final archaeological report is submitted for inclusion in the Historic Environment Record, and this has been confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority

Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority, items 3, and 4 of Part B of this condition shall be completed within 18 months of the archaeological fieldwork date of completion.

Reason: In line with policy HE1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan 2015-2035 (adopted July 2021) and paragraph 205 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021): to investigate and record any archaeological remains affected by the development, to safeguard the long-term future of the archive and to make the record of all the work publicly available. Part A of this condition is pre-commencement because development works can have an irreversible impact on archaeological remains and an approved programme of investigation must be in place before the development starts.
3) A visibility splay shall be provided at the junction of the southern adopted public highway access of The Green with Hitchin Road before the development is brought into use. The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.4m measured along the centre line of the southern access on The Green from its junction with the channel of the public highway at Hitchin Road and 43.0m measured from the centre line of the southern access on The Green along the line of the channel of the public highway at Hitchin Road in a southerly direction. The required vision splays shall for the perpetuity of the development remain free of any obstruction to visibility.

Reason
To provide adequate visibility between the existing highways and the southern access for the motorised traffic likely to use it, and to make the access safe and convenient (Policy T2, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, 2021).
4) Prior to the construction of vehicular parking areas associated with the approved dwelling, a scheme for the charging of electric and ultra-low emission vehicles shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall accord with Policy T5 of CBLP and the adopted CBC Electric Vehicle Charging SPD (2022) and shall include the following:
·Details of active charging posts or passive provision such as cabling and electricity supply for the dwelling
·Timescales / triggers for implementation of the scheme.

The development shall be completed in accordance with these approved details including the agreed timescales / triggers.

Reason: To assist with the transition to low-emission vehicles in line with Policy T5 of the CBLP and paragraph 112 of the National Planning Policy Framework
5) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 2015, or any amendments thereto, the garage/car port accommodation on the site shall not be used for any purpose, other than as garage/car port accommodation, cycle parking provision and storage pertaining to the residential use unless permission has been granted by the Local Planning Authority on an application made for that purpose.

Reason
To retain off-street parking provision and thereby minimise the potential for on-street parking which could adversely affect the convenience of road users (Policy T2, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, 2021).
6) The cycle parking scheme as indicated on the approved plan no. 20.36.03D shall be fully implemented before the development is first occupied or brought into use and thereafter retained for this purpose.
(See Notes to the Applicant)

Reason
To ensure the provision of adequate cycle parking to meet the needs of occupiers of the proposed development in the interests of encouraging the use of sustainable modes of transport (Policy T2, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, 2021).
7) Prior to first occupation of the dwelling hereby approved, details of surfacing of all hard surfaced areas within the site and arrangements for surface water drainage shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The submitted details shall include the private vehicular access track at the west where it abuts the southern public adopted highway which shall be surfaced in bituminous or other similar durable material (not loose aggregate) as shown on drawing ref: 20.36.03D, for a distance of 5.0m along the track, measured from the highway boundary, before the premises are occupied, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the surfaced area to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge into the highway.

Reason
To avoid the carriage of mud or other extraneous material or surface water from the site into the highway so as to safeguard the interest of highway safety (Policy T2, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, 2021).
8) A scheme shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority indicating the positions, design, materials and type of boundary treatment to be erected and the areas of removal of the existing boundary wall. The boundary treatment shall be completed in accordance with the approved scheme before the dwelling is occupied and be thereafter retained.
