1) The development hereby approved shall be commenced within five years of the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which is designed to ensure that a planning permission does not continue in existence indefinitely if the development to which it relates is not carried out.

2) The permission shall extend only to the application as amended by plans received on 22nd March 2002.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is implemented in accordance with the plans formally approved by the Local Planning Authority.

3) Details of the materials to be used for the external walls and roof shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted.

Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the completed development and the visual amenities of the locality.

5) Before the premises are occupied all on site vehicular areas shall be surfaced in a manner to the Local Planning Authority's approval so as to ensure satisfactory parking of vehicles outside highway limits. Arrangements shall be made for surface water from the site to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge into the highway.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the premises.

6) The turning space for vehicles illustrated on the approved Site Plan (No.1/02) shall be constructed before the development is first brought into use.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn outside of the highway limits thereby avoiding the reversing of vehicles onto the highway.

i) materials to be used for any hard surfacing;
ii) planting plans, including schedule of size, species, positions,
density and times of planting;
iii) details of existing trees and hedgerows on the site, indicating those to be retained and the method of their protection during development works.

The landscaping works shall be undertaken in accordance with the approved plans no later than the end of the full planting season following the first occupation of the development.

Reason: In order to ensure that the landscaping is carried out within a reasonable period in the interest of the visual amenities of the area.

8) The planting which shall have been approved consequent upon the submission of the scheme in accordance with Condition 7 above shall be carried out by a date which shall be not later than the end of the full planting seadon immediately following the completion of the development. Thereafter the planting shall be adequately maintained for a period of five years from the date of planting. Any of the trees or shrubs or both which die or are removed, or which become severely damaged or seriously diseased (during the said period of five years) shall be replaced with trees or shrubs or both, as the case may be, of similar size and species to those originally required to be planted and the same shall be maintained until properly established.

Reason: In order to ensure that the planting is carried out within a reasonable period in the interest of the visual amenities of the area.

Thereafter no part of the development shall be brought into use until the approved drainage scheme has been implemented.

Reason: To ensure that adequate foul and surface water drainage is provided and that existing and future land drainage needs are protected.

10) The first floor landing window in the side, north west elevation of the house hereby permitted shall be fitted with obscure glass of a type to substantially restrict vision through it at all times. No further windows or other openings shall be formed in the elevation at first floor level.

Reason: To safeguard the amenities of occupiers of adjoining properties.

11) Notwithstanding any provision of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no further window or other opening shall be formed at first floor level in the side elevations of the development hereby permitted.
