Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/03/00229/FULL

Conditions or Reasons:

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) All external works hereby permitted shall be carried out in materials to match as closely as possible in colour, type and texture, those of the existing building.

Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the completed development by ensuring that the development hereby permitted is finished externally with materials to match/complement the existing building(s) and the visual amenities of the locality.

3) The first floor window in the north elevation of the development shall be fitted with obscured glass of a type to substantially restrict vision through it at all times and restriction on its opening, details both of which shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the development commencing on site.

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

4) No development shall take place until details of the means of protection of the existing Ash tree on the site during building works have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and any measures thereby approved shall be fully implemented until the development is completed.

Reason: To safeguard the long term retention of the landscaping in the interests of the visual amenities of the area.

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 development shall not be brought into use until a turning space for vehicles has been constructed within the curtilage of the site in a manner to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

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

7) Prior to the commencement of development, details of the design of building foundations and the layout, with positions, dimensions and levels, of service trenches, ditches, drains and other excavations on site, insofar as they may affect trees and hedgerows on or adjoining the site, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development shall be completed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To ensure the protection of trees and hedgerows to be retained, and in particular to avoid unnecessary damage to their root systems.
