Reason: To identify the approved plan/s and to avoid doubt. |
2)
No development above ground level shall commence until a scheme for (non-highways) external lighting has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall:
- identify luminaire locations/specifications, illuminance and light-spill controls;
- avoid illumination of habitats/green corridors and ecological features, using warm-white light (?3000K) and full cut-off/shielding where required;
- demonstrate compatibility with designing-out-crime principles for paths, parking areas and shared spaces; and
- include maintenance arrangements.
The approved scheme shall be installed prior to first occupation and retained thereafter unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Reason: To provide safe and inclusive access and reduce crime/fear of crime (CBLP HQ1; NPPF Ch.12) and to protect biodiversity (NPPF Ch.15). |
3)
No building shall be occupied until the junction of the respective site access with the roads constructed as part of the wider Phase 4 Advanced Infrastructure on which it relies has been constructed in accordance with the approved details, amended as necessary by the technical and safety audit process, and opened to traffic. (See Notes to the Applicant)
Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the proposed estate road, and to provide safe pedestrian access to the site. |
4)
Visibility splays shall be provided at the junction of the accesses with the roads constructed as part of the wider Phase 4 Advanced Infrastructure before dwellings within the respective area of the development are occupied. The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.0m (access to a single dwelling) or 2.4m (all other accesses) measured along the centre line of the proposed access from its junction with the channel of the highway (Advanced Infrastructure) and 25m measured from the centre line of the proposed access along the line of the channel of the highway (Advanced Infrastructure). The required vision splays shall be kept free of any obstruction.
Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the highway and the proposed accesses, and to make the accesses safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use them. |
5)
Driver-pedestrian intervisibility splays shall be provided at all individual and shared private means of access before being first brought into use. The triangular vision splays shall be provided on each side of the access and shall be 2.8m measured along the back edge of the highway (including footway, where present) from the centre line of the anticipated vehicle path, to a point 2.0m measured from the back edge of the highway (including footway, where present) into the site along the centre line of the anticipated vehicle path. The vision splays so described and on land under the applicant's control (and subsequently a dwelling occupier's control, where relevant) shall be maintained free of any obstruction to visibility exceeding a height of 600mm above the adjoining highway level.
Reason: To provide adequate intervisibility between drivers and pedestrians. |
6)
Notwithstanding the details shown, a scheme for long-stay (resident) cycle parking, in accordance with CBC's Parking Standards for New Developments SPD (August 2023) or any subsequent revision, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The cycle parking facilities shall be made available before the respective dwellings are first occupied and shall thereafter be retained.
Reason: To ensure adequate cycle parking provision and promote sustainable transport. |
7)
The maximum gradient of a private access / driveway shall be 10% (1 in 10).
Reason: In the interests of the safety of persons using the access and users of the highway. |
8)
No dwelling shall be occupied until the carriageway(s) (including surface water drainage/disposal, vehicular turning head(s) and street lighting) providing access from the nearest public highway to that dwelling have been completed to at least binder course level and the footway(s) to surface course level.
Reason: To ensure a satisfactory means of access for occupants of the development. |
9)
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995 (or any amendment), the parking provision for the site as detailed on the approved plans shall not be used for any purpose other than as parking provision unless permission has been granted by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To retain adequate parking provision for the development without adversely affecting highway safety or convenience. |
10)
No gates shall be installed on private accesses or driveways within 5.0 metres of the adoptable highway (including verges and footways). Any gates shall open away from the highway.
Reason: To enable vehicles to draw off the highway before gates are opened. |
11)
Notwithstanding the details shown on the plans, details of hard surface finishes for all vehicular areas shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details and retained thereafter.
Reason: To ensure safe operation of the highway and appropriate surface materials. |
12)
Prior to first occupation, a parcel-wide Refuse and Recycling Strategy shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Strategy shall include:
- identification of all bin-collection points, ensuring refuse collection vehicles do
not reverse more than 15m;
- confirmation that communal bins for apartment blocks will not require a drag
distance greater than 10m from bin store to collection point;
- locations of all required dropped kerbs to facilitate bin movement;
- details of lighting and security arrangements for communal bin stores;
- confirmation of level, surfaced routes for bin movements without crossing
unpaved, uneven or excessively steep surfaces
The approved measures shall be implemented prior to occupation and retained thereafter.
Reason: To ensure safe, efficient and accessible refuse collection arrangements in accordance with CBLP Policies HQ1, T2 and T3 and the CBC Design Guide. |
13)
Prior to first occupation of the development, either (a) confirmation that the development will achieve the Secured by Design Developers' Award, or (b) a Security Statement (to be agreed with the Local Planning Authority in consultation with Bedfordshire Police) shall be submitted to and approved in writing.
The Statement shall address spatial and management-related designing-out-crime principles only, including:
- access control to apartment entrances/cores;
- secure cycle and bin stores;
- the interface between external lighting and communal spaces;
- defensible space;
- management of communal and semi-private areas.
The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved measures and retained thereafter.
Reason: To design out crime and enhance community safety. |
14)
The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved soft landscaping details, including:
- Pr-1130.P1_PP.003 Rev F
- Pr-1130.P1_PP.004 Rev F
- Pr-1130.P1_PPO.002 Rev F
- Pr-1130.P1_HSLP.001 Rev F
- Pr-1130.P1_TSP.007 Rev F
All soft landscaping shall be implemented in full in accordance with the approved details and in coordination with underground services and drainage infrastructure.
All planting shall be carried out in the first planting season following occupation or completion of the relevant phase of development, whichever is the sooner.
Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from completion die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species.
Reason: To ensure that the landscaping is delivered as a coordinated and viable scheme, avoids conflict with services and drainage infrastructure, and contributes to the character and quality of the development in accordance with the Area Design Code 4. |
15)
Prior to first occupation, a revised Ecological Enhancement Plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Plan shall:
- confirm types, locations and total numbers of all bat, bird and invertebrate features;
- show compliant indicative orientations in line with current best practice (RSPB, BCT);
- ensure hedgehog gaps are only shown in locations where they can be practically delivered (i.e. not through masonry walls unless pre-formed
openings are included);
- specify that areas beneath trees and other marginal spaces shall use biodiverse, pollinator-rich seed mixes rather than amenity grass;
- include an implementation schedule ensuring installation during the appropriate stages of construction.
The approved measures shall be implemented in full and retained thereafter.
Reason: To secure biodiversity gains in line with CBLP Policies EE2 and EE3, the Area 4 Design Code. |
16)
Notwithstanding the approved plans, the first floor side facing windows on Plots 13, 14, 37, 42, 43 and 44 that face adjoining private amenity space shall be fitted with obscure glazing to a minimum of Pilkington Level 3 (or equivalent) and shall be non-opening below 1.7 metres above internal floor level. The windows shall be permanently retained in this condition thereafter.
Reason: To safeguard the amenity and privacy of occupiers of adjoining dwellings, in accordance with the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide and the National Planning Policy Framework. |
17)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Part 1, Class A, AA, B, C and E of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no extensions to the building(s) hereby permitted shall be carried out without the grant of further specific planning permission from the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To control the external appearance of the building/s in the interests of the amenities of the area. (Section 12, NPPF). |
