Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- 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.
- The development hereby permitted shall not be brought into use until the parking areas have been provided in a bound and porous material in accordance with approved Drawing No. 800271-05-07 ‘Proposed Site Plan’ and shall thereafter be retained for the lifetime of the development. Reason In the interest of highway safety.
- 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.
- No plant or machinery shall be operated, no loading or unloading of vehicles and no movement of commercial vehicles to or from the site shall take place outside the hours of 08:00hrs. to 18:00hrs Monday to Friday and 08:00hrs to 13:00hrs Saturday. None of the above operations shall be carried out at any time on Sundays or Bank and Public Holidays. Reason To ensure that the proposed development does not prejudice the enjoyment by neighbouring occupiers of their properties and to ensure compliance with the Local Plan Policies CP3 - Chase Shaping, and the NPPF.
- The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: • Site and Location Plan - 80027 - 04 - 01 • Proposed Site Plan - 800271 - 05 - 07 • Proposed Floor Plans - 800271 - 05 - 04 Rev A • Proposed Elevations 800271 - 05 - 05 Rev A • Proposed Street Elevation - 800271 - 05 - 06 Rev A Reason For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- Biodiversity Net Gain The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that, subject to some exemptions, every grant of planning permission in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the biodiversity gain condition that development may not begin unless: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and (b) the planning authority has approved the plan. This objective is for development to deliver at least a 10% increase in biodiversity value relative to the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat. This increase can be achieved through onsite biodiversity gains, registered offsite biodiversity gains or statutory biodiversity credits. There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. These can be found at Biodiversity net gain: exempt developments - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Based on the information available this permission is considered to be one which WILL require the approval of a Biodiversity Gain Plan before development is begun because none of the statutory exemptions or transitional arrangements are considered to apply. The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan in respect of this permission is Cannock Chase Council. When submitting an application to discharge the biodiversity gain condition the LPA requests that the applicant uses the standard national templates for a Biodiversity Gain Plan and a Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan. Submit a biodiversity gain plan - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) The Biodiversity Gain Plan should be submitted as an 'application for approval of details reserved by condition following grant of planning permission' via the Planning Portal. The biodiversity gain condition cannot be removed or varied.
