Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/26/00305/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
3) No work of building demolition in respect of the existing building, in whole or part, shall take place until the applicant has implemented and submitted to the Local Planning Authority, and gained Local Planning Authority written approval of, a completed scheme of external and internal photographic building recording, undertaken with all internal stored debris cleared out and all flooring, walls and floor structures swept clean, and to a level of detail agreed in advance and in writing by the Local Planning Authority which shall be not less than Historic England recording level 2 as set out in sections 5.2 and 4.4.8 and 4.5.2 of the publication Understanding Historic Buildings: a guide to good recording practice (Historic England 2016).

Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure an appropriate historic record of the existing building in advance of demolition would be contrary to paragraph 205 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) that requires developers to record and advance understanding of the significance of any heritage assets to be lost (wholly or in part) as a consequence of the approved development.
(Policy HE3, CBLP, Section 16, NPPF)
