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.
- 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 SO1.1, SO1.2, SO2.2 & SO8.3 (where applicable) and the NPPF.
- The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: • Proposed Floorplans, Elevations and Site Plan – 26024-SDA-ZZ-ZZ-DR-A-0201 REV P3 • Existing Location Plan - 26024-SDA-ZZ-ZZ-DR-A-0001 REV P2 Reason For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
- The building hereby permitted shall be retained for a temporary period only and shall be removed from the site, with the land restored to its former condition, no later than five years from the date of this permission. Reason The development has been assessed based on its temporary nature and to enable the Local Planning Authority to reassess the impact of the development after a defined period, if necessary, to ensure compliance with the Local Plan Policies SO1.1, SO1.2, SO2.2, SO7.4 & SO7.5 (where applicable) and the NPPF.
- 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.
- Mining Remediation Authority The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Mining Remediation Authority as containing coal mining features at surface or shallow depth. These features may include mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites. Although such features are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur, particularly as a result of new development taking place. Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks. As a general precautionary principle, the Mining Remediation Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided. In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure a suitable engineering design which takes account of all relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water. Your attention is drawn to the Mining Remediation Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-on-or-within-the-influencing-distance-of-mine-entries Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Mining Remediation Authority Permit. Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes. Application forms for Mining Remediation Authority permission and further guidance can be obtained from The Mining Remediation Authority’s website at: www.gov.uk/get-a-permit-to-deal-with-a-coal-mine-on- your-property https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/permit-process/permit-process In areas where shallow coal seams are present caution should be taken when carrying out any on site burning or heat focused activities. If any future development has the potential to encounter coal seams which require excavating, for example excavation of building foundations, service trenches, development platforms, earthworks, non- coal mineral operations, an Incidental Coal Agreement will be required. Further information regarding Incidental Coal Agreements can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/incidental-coal-agreement/guidance-notes-for-applicants-for-incidental-coal-agreements If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Mining Remediation Authority on 0800 288 4242.
