Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/07/01505/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 trees, shrubs and other natural features not scheduled for removal shall be fully safeguarded during the course of the site works and building operations. No work shall commence on site until all trees, shrubs and features to be protected are fenced with:-
1.2m minimum height chestnut paling to BS1722 Part 4 securely mounted on 1.2m minimum height timber posts driven firmly into the ground; or

for trees and shrubs the fencing shall follow a line 1.0m outside the furthest extent of the crown spread, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority;
for upright growing trees at a radius from the trunk not less than 6.0m, or two thirds of the height of the tree whichever is the greater;
for other natural features along a line to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Such fencing shall be maintained during the course of the works on the site. No unauthorised access or placement of goods, fuels or chemicals, soil or other materials shall take place inside the fenced area.

Reason: To safeguard the existing trees on the site in the interests of visual amenity.

3) The rear half of the garage building hereby approved shall be of a post-and-beam or pile-and-beam method of construction unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure the protection of trees to be retained, and in particular to avoid unnecessary damage to their root systems.
