1. Time Limit The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date on which this permission is granted. Reason: The time limit condition is imposed in order to comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
2. Approved Plans The development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the following plans and specifications and shall relate to no other plans: a) Location Plan (drawing no. 001) b) Proposed Plan (drawing no. 003) c) Indicative Landscaping Plan (drawing no. 002) Reason: To ensure a satisfactory form of development and for the avoidance of doubt.
3. Perimeter Landscaping A detailed scheme for soft landscaping works around the perimeter of the site based on the approved Indicative Landscaping Plan shall be submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority within 3 months of the commencement of works hereby approved. The approved landscaping works shall then be planted on site as approved in the first available planting season following approval. Should a landscaping scheme not gain approval within 9 months from the date of commencement of the works hereby approved, then the use hereby approved shall cease. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory form of development in the interest of visual amenity and the character of the area having regard for policies CS4, CS5 and DC1 of the Local Plan and sections 12 and 15 of the NPPF.
4. Replacement Planting If within a period of five years from the date of the landscape planting being implemented, any plant, or any replacement plant, is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, or becomes, in the opinion of the local planning authority, seriously damaged or defective, replacement planting of the same species and size as that originally planted shall be planted at the same place, unless the local planning authority gives its written consent to any variation. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory form of development in the interest of visual amenity and the character of the area having regard for policies CS4, CS5 and DC1 of the Local Plan and sections 12 and 15 of the NPPF.
5. REASON FOR APPROVAL The application for the use of land for storage purposes (B8 use) is considered to be appropriate for both the application site itself and within the surrounding area in that the proposal is in accordance with national and local planning policies, statements and guidance. In particular, the proposed development adheres to the core planning principles and guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework regarding the efficient use of land and supporting sustainable economic development that would result in a development that would be considered appropriate for the local area. Issues relating to the highways and transportation implications and the potential impacts on neighbouring sites have all been considered against local and national planning policies. On balance, the development would be considered in keeping with the scale and character of the surrounding industrial townscape, and is not considered to give rise to any inappropriate or undue affects or be detrimental to the local amenities of the area. Accordingly, the local planning authority considers that there are no material planning considerations that would override the general assumption that development be approved unless other material factors determine otherwise. On this basis, the recommendation to approve conditionally is as set out for these reasons.
6. Highways Informative Suitable areas for the turning of large vehicles should be provided within the site to avoid the risk of vehicles manoeuvring out onto the public highway.
