Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/07/02145/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) A scheme shall be submitted for written approval by the Local Planning Authority setting out the details of the materials to be used for the external walls and roof. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme.

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

3) Prior to the commencement of development a scheme setting out measures for protecting all trees, shrubs and other natural features during construction work shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. No work shall commence on site until all trees, shrubs and features to be protected are fenced with 2.3 high weldmesh fencing securely mounted on standard scaffolding poles driven firmly in the ground in accordance with
BS 5837:2005;
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.

4) All works to or affecting trees on or adjoining the site shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant recommendations of BS5837 (2005).

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

5) The drive way shall be constructed using a 'no-dig' method of construction as outlined in Arboricultural Practice Note no.12 (Through the Trees to Development).

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

6) 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) the garage accommodation on the site shall not be used for any purpose, other than as garage accommodation, unless permission has been granted by the Local Planning Authority on an application made for that purpose.

Reason: To retain off-street parking provision and thereby minimise the potential for on-street parking which could adversely affect the convenience of road users.
