1) Notwithstanding the details submitted with this application the chimney to the house hereby approved shall be finished in brick to match the brick used for the house and not in render as shown on the submitted plans.

Reason: To safeguard the character and appearance of the completed development in the interest of the visual amenities of the area.

2) 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 works shall be commenced for the extension or material alteration of the building, or the erection of any building or structure within its curtilage until detailed plans and elevations have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To protect the amenities of occupiers of neighbouring properties.

3) All hard and soft landscape works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. The works shall be carried out prior to the occupation of any part of the development.

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.

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

Reason: To protect the visual amenities of the building and of the area generally.

5) Details of the method of disposal of foul and surface water drainage shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority including any land drainage system, before the development is commenced. 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.

6) The access shall have a minimum width of 5m , kerb radii of 6 m, and shall be located as shown on plan number SK(A)09/11.001B.

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

7) Visibility splays shall be provided at the junction of the access with the public highway 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 proposed access from its junction with the channel of the public highway and 70m measured from the centre line of the proposed access along the line of the channel of the public highway. The required vision splays shall, on land in the applicant's control, be kept free of any obstruction exceeding a height of 1.05m.

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

8) 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 the premises are occupied. 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.

9) The turning space for vehicles illustrated on the approved Plan No. SK(A)09/11.001B 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.

10) Before the premises are occupied 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.

11) Development shall not begin until details of the junction of the proposed vehicular access with the highway have been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and no building shall be occupied until the junction has been constructed in accordance with the approved details.

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

12) 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.

13) 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.

14) 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.
