Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2) All external works for the extension and garage 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 the existing building in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality.
(Policy 43, DSCB)
3) The first floor windows in the south east flank elevation of the extension hereby permitted shall be permanently fitted with obscured glass of a type to substantially restrict vision through it at all times and shall be non-opening, unless the parts of the window(s) which can be opened are more than 1.7m above the floor of the room(s) in which the window(s) is installed. No further first floor windows shall be formed in the elevation.

Reason: To safeguard the privacy of the occupiers of Beechwood. (Policy 43, DSCB)
4) No development shall commence until full specification details of a pile and beam foundation, to be used for the extension construction, have first been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall be designed by a fully qualified structural engineer, shall be fit for purpose, and shall protect the existing soil surface from the need to undertake any strip foundation excavation, or any lowering or raising of the existing soil levels.

Reason: To protect the structural integrity of the rooting medium from compaction damage and the rooting systems from root severance or root asphyxiation by the raising or lowering of soil levels, so as to ensure the health and stability of the root system of the adjacent Silver Birch tree, in the interests of maintaining visual amenity and character of the Aspley Guise Conservation Area.
5) No development shall commence until full construction specification details of an appropriate 3-dimensional, cellular confinement system, to be used for the new driveway surface construction, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority for approval.

Reason: To provide a driveway surface that shall act a permeable, load suspension layer over the existing soil levels, so as to avoid compaction damage to the rooting medium by vehicles, physical damage to the roots caused by excavation work, or root asphyxiation caused by the raising of soil levels, so as to ensure the health and stability of the root system of an adjacent Lime tree, in the interests of maintaining visual amenity and character of the Aspley Guise Conservation Area.
6) No development shall commence until details of the provision of ground protection to cover the Root Protection Area around the Silver Birch tree have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority The details shall be based on the ground protection requirements of BS 5837 : 2012 "Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction".

The ground protection shall remain secured in place throughout the course of development (including demolition), and shall be removed only in restricted stages, where this is deemed necessary to allow the construction of the pile and beam foundation, and just prior to these foundations being installed.

Reason: To protect the structural integrity of the rooting medium from compaction damage and the rooting system from root asphyxiation caused by the raising of soil levels that may be incurred from any development activity, including site access and plant and material storage, so as to ensure the health and stability of the root system of the adjacent Silver Birch tree, in the interests of maintaining visual amenity and character of the Aspley Guise Conservation Area.
7) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), the garage hereby permitted shall be kept permanently available for the parking of motor vehicles.
