Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The proposal would be inappropriate development, causing harm to the openness which the National Planning Policy Framework states is harmful to the Green Belt and should only be approved in Very Special Circumstances. The fallback position of a proposed outbuilding which could be built under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order of 2015, demonstrated by the agent is sufficient weight to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and effect on openness. Therefore, Very Special Circumstances existing to justify inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
- The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date on which this permission is granted. Reason To comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990.
- No materials shall be used for the external surfaces of the development other than those specified on the application. Reason In the interests of visual amenity and to ensure compliance with Local Plan Policies CP3, CP15, CP16, RTC3 (where applicable) and the NPPF.
- The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: - Proposed Elevation - 0158 - P - 006 Rev D - Proposed Floorplans - 0158 - P - 005 Rev E - Proposed Block Plan - 0158 - P - 007 - Proposed Site Location Plan - 0158 - P - 008 Reason For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- No development shall take place until either an individual bat mitigation licence, or evidence that the site has been registered with Natural England under a low impact mitigation class licence, has been submitted to the LPA together with the approved Method Statement. Reason: To ensure the protection of bats which are European Protected Species
- A minimum of two bird nest boxes and two bat boxes shall be erected in accordance with paragraph 4.39 and 4.40 of the Ecological Appraisal (Salopian Ecology, 02/08/2024). The boxes shall thereafter be retained and maintained for the lifetime of the development. Reason: To ensure the provision of enhanced nesting opportunities for birds, in accordance with CP12 and section 180 of the NPPF.
- The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until the first floor window indicated on the approved plan to serve the ensuite, is obscure glazed. The window shall be non-opening unless the parts of the window which can be opened are more than 1.7m above the floor of the room in which the window is installed. Thereafter the window will be retained and maintained as such for the life of the development. Reason To ensure that the development does not give rise to overlooking of adjoining property injurious to the reasonable privacy of the occupiers and to ensure compliance with Local Plan Policies CP3 Chase Shaping - Design, and the NPPF.
- The proposed development lies within a coal mining area which may contain unrecorded coal mining related hazards. If any coal mining feature is encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848. Further information is also available on the Coal Authority website at: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/the-coal-authority
- Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no development within Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Order shall be carried out without an express grant of planning permission, from the Local Planning Authority, namely: • The enlargement, improvement or other alteration of the dwellinghouse; • The enlargement of the dwellinghouse consisting of an addition or alteration to its roof; • Any other alteration to the roof of the dwellinghouse; • The erection or construction of a porch outside any external door of the dwelling; • The provision within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse of any building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such, or the maintenance, improvement or other alteration of such a building or enclosure; • The provision within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse of a hard surface for any purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such; or • The erection or provision within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse of a container for the storage of oil for domestic heating; The Local Planning Authority considers that such development would be likely to adversely affect the amenity on the Green Belt and the character of the area. It is considered to be in the public interest to require an application to enable the merits of any proposal to be assessed and to ensure compliance with Local Plan Policy CP3 - Chase Shaping - Design, CP14 - Landscape Character and Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the NPPF.
