Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- 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.
- Approved Plans The development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the following plans and specifications: a) Location Plan (23 June 2025) b) Proposed Elevations (VGA 04 Rev C) c) Proposed Plans (VGA 03 Rev D) Reason: To ensure a satisfactory form of development and for the avoidance of doubt.
- Details of Hard and Soft Landscaping Details of the hard and soft landscaping to be implemented as part of the parking arrangements within the site frontage (as indicatively shown on the approved plans) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Any detailed scheme shall include specification of the materials used as part of the hard surfacing as well as the proposed trees and associated soft landscaping (including their species, size and location). The details of the scheme shall include measures to prevent rainwater runoff onto the adopted highway. The approved landscaping details shall be implemented in full after the first use of the development hereby approved. The Local Planning Authority shall be notified within two weeks of the landscape planting works. 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.
- Opaque Glazing The first floor window on the side elevation of the development hereby approved shall be installed with opaque glazing to a minimum of level 3 and have restricted opening at a height of 1.7 metres from the internal floor level. The opaque glazing and restricted opening shall be implemented on installation and retained for the lifetime of the approved development. Reason: In the interests of the amenities of residents and to ensure a satisfactory form of development having regard for Policy DC1 of the Local Plan.
- Matching Materials The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall match those used in the existing dwellinghouse. Reason: To ensure the use of satisfactory materials.
- REASON FOR APPROVAL This application is satisfactory in that the two storey extension to side/rear and single storey extension to rear accord with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), local Policy requirements (Policies DC1, CS4 and CS5 of the Council's Local Development Framework), and the Urban Design Supplementary Planning Document. In particular, the proposals are designed so that their appearance will complement the host property and so that it will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The development will not prejudice the appearance or character of Virginia Gardens or the wider area, and does not significantly affect any landscaping nor prevent adequate and safe access to the dwelling. 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.
