Single storey side and rear extensions (Amended description and plans)

1. The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the following plans numbered: 02353 Rev A, 02354 Rev A, 02355 Rev A, 02356 Rev B, 02357 Rev B, 02358 Rev B and 02359 Rev B 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 in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall match in type, colour and texture those used on the existing building. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship between the new development and the existing.
4. Note to Applicant: Vegetation clearance or clearance of any structure that could support nesting birds would need to be done outside of nesting season which is between March and August inclusive. If this is not possible then a pre-works check by a suitably qualified ecologist would be required. If any active nests are found all work must stop and the nest be protected by a 5 m buffer until after the chicks have fledged and left the nest.
5. Note to Applicant: Biodiversity enhancements have been recommended. A bat brick/box and a swift brick/nest box may be appropriate to build into the extensions. 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.
