Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/08/01403/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 extension hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the dwelling known as 12a Hitchmead Road, Biggleswade.

Reason: The ancillary accommodation created by the development is not suitable, because of the circumstances of the site, to be used as a separate, independent residential unit.

4) Prior to commencement of development a plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority of the proposed vehicular access with the highway 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.

5) Before the access is first brought into use a triangular vision splay shall be provided on each side of the new access 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 shall be maintained free of any obstruction to visibility exceeding a height of 600mm above the adjoining footway level at all times.

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.

6) The proposed vehicular access shall be constructed and surfaced in accordance with details to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority for a distance of 5.0m into the site, measured from the highway boundary, before the development hereby approved is 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.

7) The permission shall extend only to the application as amended by plans MBDC1 and MBDC2 received 29/9/08.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is implemented in accordance with the plans formally approved by the Local Planning Authority.
