Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- In accordance with Paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework the Local Planning Authority has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner to approve the proposed development, which accords with the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- Prior to the commencement of any construction or site preparation works including any actions likely to interfere with the biological function of the retained trees and hedges, tree protection fencing to BS5837:2012 standard shall be installed around the perimeter of the grass bed surrounding the conifer tree. Within the enclosed area known as the Tree Protection Zone, no work will be permitted without the written consent of the Local Planning Authority. No storage of material, equipment or vehicles will be permitted within this zone. Service routes will not be permitted to cross the Tree Protection Zones unless written consent of the Local Planning Authority is obtained. The Tree Protection Zone will be maintained intact and the vegetation within maintained until the cessation of all construction works or until the Local Planning Authority gives written consent for variation. Reason To ensure the retention and protection of the existing vegetation which makes an important contribution to the visual amenity of the area. In accordance with Local Plan Policies CP3, CP12, CP14 and the NPPF.
- 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 materials to be used for the external surfaces of the development shall be of the same type, colour and texture as those used on the existing building.

- The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: Location Plan and Proposed Block Plan 2781 - 03 Proposed Ground Floor Plan 2781 - 04 Proposed Elevations 2781 - 05 Reason For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- The building to which this permission relates to shall only be used as ancillary to the main house.
