Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/04/01819/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) Before the accesses are brought into use a triangular vision splay shall be provided on each side of the new accesses and shall measure 1.8m along the fence, wall, hedge or other means of definition of the front boundary of the site, and 1.8m measured into the site at right angles to the same line along the side of the new access drive. The vision splays so described and on land under the applicant's control shall be maintained free of any obstruction to visibility exceeding a height of 600mm above the adjoining footway level.

Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed accesses, and to make the accesses safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use them.

4) The proposed vehicular accesses shall be surfaced in bituminous or other similar durable material as may be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority for a distance of 4.5m into the site, measured from the highway boundary. Arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the site 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.

5) Before the new accesses are first brought into use, any existing access within the frontage of the land to be developed, not incorporated in the accesses hereby approved shall be closed in a manner to the Local Planning Authority's written approval.

Reason: In the interests of road safety and to reduce the number of points at which traffic will enter and leave the public highway.

6) Prior to the commencement of development, a plan showing a revised parking layout, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved plans.

Reason: In the interests of highway safety.
