3. The dwelling hereby permitted shall not be occupied until a mitigation package addressing the additional nutrient inputs arising from the development has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. Such a mitigation package shall address all of the additional nutrient loading upon protected European sites from the development and shall allow the Local Planning Authority to ascertain on the basis of the best available scientific evidence that such additional nutrient loading will not have an adverse effect on the integrity of those European Sites, having regard to the conservation objectives for they are designated. The mitigation package shall be implemented in full and evidence of this provided to the Local Planning Authority in writing prior to first occupation of the development.

5. The development hereby permitted shall not be occupied as a person's sole or main place of residence. Reason: To ensure the occupation of the property for tourist accommodation as the noise environment does not make the property suitable for residential.

Reason: The site is not suitable to be used as a residential dwelling due to a lack of on site outdoor amenity space and car parking.
7. The development hereby permitted shall not be brought into use until a minimum of one car parking space has been provided within the curtilage of the site and thereafter maintained and kept available for the occupants of the guest house. Reason: To ensure the adequate provision of on site parking for the purpose of highway safety.
