Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- Approved Plans - Retrospective The development hereby approved is retrospective and has been considered based on the details on site and on the plans and specifications detailed below: a) Location Plan received 27th October 2022 b) Proposed Site Plan Drawing No.TPS001 received 27th October 2022 c) Full Plans Drawing No.TPS001 received 27th October 2022 This approval only relates to the details on the above plans and specifications, it does not relate to any other works. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out as approved.
- REASON FOR APPROVAL This application is satisfactory in that the use MOT Testing Station with garage storage units and parking accords with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and, where appropriate, the Council has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive way in line with paragraph 38 of the NPPF (2021). In addition the development accords with the local policy requirements (Policies REG16, CS5 and DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular, the existing buildings do not prejudice the character and function of the area and do not significantly affect any landscaping or prevent adequate and safe access to the property. The use is consistent with the uses of this location and it will not be detrimental to any adjoining or surrounding properties. The application is therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which would indicate that the development should be refused.
