Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/06/00076/FULL

Conditions or Reasons:

1) The development hereby approved shall be commenced within three 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 access shall have a minimum width of 3m, kerb radii of 2m and shall be located where shown on Drawing No. P7 dated 22 February 2006.

Reason: In the interest of road safety and for the avoidance of doubt.

4) The proposed vehicular access shall be surfaced in bituminous or other similar durable material as may be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before it is first brought into use. 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) The maximum gradient of the vehicular access shall be 10% (1 in 10).

Reason: In the interests of the safety of persons using the access and users of the highway.

6) The new vehicular access shall enter the public highway at the boundary at such a level as shall be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Any necessary gradient shall be constructed on the application site entirely outside highway limits.

Reason: To secure a satisfactory access appropriate to the development, in the interest of public safety and convenience.

7) Before the new access is first brought into use, any existing access within the frontage of the land to be developed, not incorporated in the access 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.

8) Before the new access is first brought into use, 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.

9) The new access 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.

10) No development shall commence until a wheel cleaning facility has been provided at all site exits in accordance with a scheme to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The wheel cleaner(s) shall be removed from the site once the roadworks necessary to provide adequate access from the public highway have been completed (apart from final surfacing) to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: In the interests of the amenity and to prevent the deposit of mud or other extraneous material on the highway during the construction period.

11) Prior to the commencement of development, details of the materials for a screen wall/fence 2 metres in height which is to be erected on the southern side of the first floor balcony, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development shall be completed in accordance with the approved details. The screen wall/fence must be completed prior to the occupation of the extension and thereafter retained.

Reason: To safeguard the amenity and privacy of residents, and in the interests of the visual amenity of teh locality.
