1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 1002 Rev P02, 1003 Rev P03, 1004 Rev P07, 1005 Rev P03 and 210894-6253 Rev C02 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
2. The development hereby permitted shall start no later than three years from the date of this decision. Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
3. The materials to be used must match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture those listed in the Materials Section of the application form and as shown on Drawing No. 1005 Rev P03 Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
4. The integral double garage hereby approved shall only be used for the purpose of parking private motor vehicles in connection with the residential use of the property and shall not, at any time, be used for living accommodation, business, commercial or industrial purposes. Reason: To ensure the adequate provision of on-site parking for the purpose of highway safety.
5. The proposed driveway should be constructed of a hard surface/s to prevent migration of loose material (i.e. shingle) onto the highway. The hard surface shall either be made of porous materials or provision shall be made to direct run-off water from the hard surface/s to a permeable or porous surface within the site. Reason: To ensure adequate provision for surface water drainage and avoid discharge of water onto the public highway.
6. Note to Applicant: In the unlikely event of any bats being found during demolition or construction, all work must stop immediately, and Natural England must be informed. Additional information is available on the Bat Conservation Trust website at https://www.bats.org.uk/advice/im-working-on-a-building-with-bats/ive-found-a-bat-during-works.
7. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements have been recommended. Built in bat and swift nest bricks/boxes are preferred. Swift boxes can be used by other species if swifts are not using them. Bee bricks, log and brushwood piles and planting native species which produce fruit and seeds for pollinators are also recommended. Built in boxes do not require maintenance and cannot fall off. The Bat Conservation Trust recommends installing a bat brick/box at least 4m above the ground, away from artificial light sources, sheltered from strong winds and exposed to the sun for part of the day, facing south, south-east or south-west. (https://www.bats.org.uk › our-work › putting-up-your-box) Swift nest boxes are best positioned under the eaves or on walls facing north, northeast or north-west out of direct sunlight, five metres above the ground, with clear adjacent airspace so swifts can access them in a high-speed direct flight.
