Conditions or Reasons:

3) Notwithstanding the information provided on plan no:001. Before the access is first brought into use, a triangular vision splay shall be provided on each side of the new 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 highway 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 proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it .

4) The proposed vehicular access shall be surfaced in bituminous or other similar durable material (not loose aggregate) for a distance of 5.0m into the site, measured from the highway boundary, before the access is brought into use. Arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the vehicular areas of 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.

5) Any gates provided shall open away from the highway and be set back a distance of at least 5.0m from the highway boundary.

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

6) 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 the existing building in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality.
