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) Biodiversity interest can vary year on year and ecological data submitted is only accepted to remain valid for 2 years. Whilst the building is not proposed for demolition, the works to the roof and surrounding area could result in harm to a protected species. No development shall take place until an assessment of the building has been undertaken and has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The said development shall only be implemented in accordance with the assessment thereby approved.

Reason: To safeguard any protected species and to ensure that no offence will occur

3) Development shall not commence until details of a scheme showing the provision of three off-street parking spaces and a turning area to serve the new dwelling have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details to be approved shall include the proposed materials for construction and 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. The approved scheme shall be implemented and made available for use before the development hereby permitted is occupied and that area shall not be used for any other purpose.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off, park and turn clear of the highway to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the adjoining highway.

4) Development shall not commence until a scheme detailing access provision to and from the site for construction traffic has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details of the scheme shall show what arrangements will be made for restricting such vehicles to approved points of access and egress and the scheme shall be operated throughout the period of construction work.

Reason: To ensure the safe operation of the surrounding road network in the interests of road safety.

5) Development shall not commence until a scheme detailing provision for on-site parking for construction workers for the duration of the construction period has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be implemented throughout the construction period.

Reason: To ensure that adequate off street parking is provided during the construction period in the interests of road safety.

6) Before the development is occupied, a triangular vision splay shall be provided on each side of the access drive and shall be 2.8m measured along the back edge of the highway from the centre line of the anticipated vehicle path to a point 2.0m measured from the back edge of the footway into the site along the centre line of the anticipated vehicle path. The vision splay so described and on land under the applicant's control shall be maintained free of any obstruction to visibility exceeding a height of 600mm above the adjoining footway level.

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

7) Any gates provided shall open away from the highway and be set back a distance of at least 5.0 metres from the nearside edge of the carriageway of the adjoining highway.

Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off the highway before the gates are opened.

8) The materials to be used for the external walls and roof shall accord with the details set out on drawing number RM08/116.1B unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

9) 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 of the building hereby approved nor any material alteration of their external appearance until detailed plans and elevations have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To protect the openness of the South Bedfordshire Green Belt and the Chilterns Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

10) The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in complete accordance with the details shown on the submitted plans, number RM08/116.1C.
