Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/18/03205/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development hereby permitted shall begin not later than three years from the date of this permission.

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) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100-year event (+40%CC), and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The discharge rate from the development will be limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year rate, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed drainage Strategy (to be submitted) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018), and shall be implemented and maintained as approved. Maintenance will ensure the system functions as designed for the lifetime of the development. An as built drainage drawing should be submitted to the Local Planning Authority as part of this condition.

Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with paragraphs 163 and 165 of the NPPF and its supporting technical guidance. (Section 15, NPPF)
3) No building shall be occupied until the developer has formally submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority a finalised 'Maintenance and Management Plan' for the entire surface water drainage system, inclusive of any adoption arrangements and/or private ownership or responsibilities, and that the approved surface water drainage scheme has been correctly and fully installed as per the final approved details.

Reason: To ensure that the implementation and long-term operation of a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) is in line with what has been approved, in accordance with Written Statement HCWS161. (Section 15, NPPF)

The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.4m measured along the centre line of the proposed access from its junction with the channel of the public highway and 43m measured from the centre line of the proposed access along the line of the channel of the public highway. The required vision splays shall, on land in the applicant's control, be kept free of any obstruction.

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. (Policy T10, SBLPR, policy T2 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 9, NPPF)
5) Visibility splays shall be provided at the eastern junction of Front Street and Pepsal End Lane before the development is brought into use. The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.4m measured along the centre line of the proposed access from its junction with the channel of the public highway and 120m measured from the centre line of the proposed access along the line of the channel of the public highway. The required vision splays shall, on land in the applicant's control, be kept free of any obstruction.

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. (Policy T10, SBLPR, policy T2 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 9, NPPF)

The vision splays 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 proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it. (Policy T10, SBLPR, policy T2 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 9, NPPF)
8) The maximum gradient of the vehicular access shall be 10% (1 in 10).

Reason: In the interests of the safety of persons using the access and users of the highway. (Policy T10, SBLPR, policy T2 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 9, NPPF)

11) 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 adequate off street parking during construction in the interests of road safety. (Policy T10, SBLPR, policies T2 & T3 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 9, NPPF)
12) Prior to the occupation of the production facility with sedum roof hereby approved, equipment shall be installed to effectively suppress and disperse fumes and/or odour produced by cooking and food preparation, and the equipment shall be effectively operated for so long as the commercial food use continues. Full details of the method of odour abatement and all odour abatement equipment to be used, including predicted noise levels of the equipment in operation, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter the approved equipment shall be installed and in full working order at all times to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: In order to prevent the adverse impact of odour arising from cooking activities on the amenity of nearby residents. (Policy BE8, SBLPR, policies HQ1 and CC8 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 15, NPPF)
13) The kitchen ventilation system approved in accordance with condition 12 above, together with any other external plant, machinery and equipment installed or operated in connection with this permission, shall be so enclosed, operated and/or attenuated that noise arising from such plant shall not exceed a level of 5dBA below the existing background level (when measured or calculated according to BS4142:2014. The applicant shall clearly demonstrate that noise from the installed plant achieves the required noise standard, prior to the use hereby permitted commencing.

Reason: To protect neighbouring residents from any adverse impact from noise arising from the kitchen extract ventilation system or other external plant on the premises. (Policy BE8, SBLPR, policies HQ1 and CC8 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and section 15, NPPF)

The approved Design and Works Specification and Method Statement shall then implemented to construct the cellular confinement system to its completion, before the commencement of all other construction works, and before allowing any other site access.

Reason: To protect the root system and rooting medium of "off-site" trees, which are vulnerable to excavation, asphyxiation and/or compaction damage resulting from traditional driveway construction methods, machinery and plant, by creating a load suspension layer over existing ground levels that can sustain the function of tree roots beneath its surface, so as to maintain the health, stability, screening and amenity value of the trees concerned.

All planting comprised in the approved landscape scheme details shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following completion of the development.

Any trees, hedges or shrubs which within a period of 5 years from completion of development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced with similar species and sizes, unless the Local Planning Authority give written consent to any variation.

REASON: To protect visual amenity and character of the area and ensure a satisfactory environment (Policy BE8, SBLPR, policies HQ1, EE4 & EE5 of the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and paragraphs 127 & 153 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2018.)
