Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiration of THREE years from the date hereof. REASON: Imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990.
- The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise than in conformity with the following submitted plans and details: - Site Plan - Drawing nos. 23-162-114A Rev.A - Proposed floor plans and elevations - Drawing nos. 23-162-111D Rev.D REASON: For the avoidance of doubt.
- INFORMATIVE - Ancillary accommodation The use of the barn has been approved as ancillary accommodation to the single planning unit at Kitty House, as shown in red on the site location plan, and must be used for this purpose only. The accommodation is part of a single planning unit. Using the accommodation separately would amount to a material change of use that requires planning permission. For example a separate use could include use as a holiday let or occupation as a self-contained house. If a material change of use takes place without planning permission the use will be unauthorised and at risk of formal action. If an enforcement notice needs to be issued it would be served on everyone with an interest in the land. This would include any mortgagee. In assessing whether to take further action we can consider whether intentional unauthorised development has taken place. If you have questions about how you can use the approved accommodation please contact us.
- Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 Article 35(2) statement: The Local Planning Authority did not identify problems arising in relation to dealing with the application.
- INFORMATIVE - Biodiversity Net Gain The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition ("the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and (b) the planning authority has approved the plan. Based on the information available this permission is considered to be one where the biodiversity gain condition DOES NOT apply. In summary: A biodiversity gain plan is not required to be submitted to, and approved by, the planning authority before development may be begun.
