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: In order to comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).

Approved Plans The development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the plans and specifications detailed below and shall relate to no other plans: a) Location plan (Dwg no. 1273/SLP) received 30th September 2025 b) Proposed Site Plan Rev A (Dwg no. 1273 P 7) received 28th Nov 2025 c) Proposed Elevations Rev A (Dwg no. 1273 P 6) received 28th Nov 2025 d) Proposed Floor Plans Rev A (Dwg no. 1273 P 5) received 28th Nov 2025 d) Proposed Block Plan Rev A (Dwg no. 1273 P 8) received 28th Nov 2025 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out as approved.
3. Cycle Store The development hereby approved shall not be occupied/brought into use until covered and secure cycle parking facilities, for five cycles, have been provided in accordance with submitted drawing(s) 1273 P 7 , or such plans which are subsequently submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such drawings must show the position, design, materials and finishes thereof. Thereafter the cycle parking facilities shall be retained for the lifetime of the development for the sole purpose of parking cycles. Reason: To promote use of cycles reducing traffic congestion and in the interests of the amenities of residents to ensure a satisfactory form of development having regard for Policies DC1, CS4 and CS5 of the Local Plan and sections 9 and 12 of the NPPF.
4. Reason for Approval This application is satisfactory in that the design of the proposed HMO 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 the NPPF. In addition the HMO accords with the local policy requirements (Policies H1, H11, CS17, CS4, CS18, CS19 & DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular the HMO is designed so that the appearance is complementary to the existing dwellinghouse and so that they will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The HMO will not prejudice the character and appearance of the area and will 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
5. Licensable HMO The building (and/or any flats accommodating 5 or more unrelated persons, located within it) is likely once occupied to need a House in Multiple Occupation licence. A number of specific requirements relating to such properties will be applicable in due course. A guide to amenity provision and space standards that will form the basis of licensing requirements can be viewed online at https://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/planning-and-housing/housing-options-and-advice/houses-multiple-occupation-hmos. You are recommended to have regard to this document. Fire safety provisions will be examined as part of any subsequent application for Building Regulation approval but such provisions will also be considered at the licensing stage.
6. Building Regulations Compliance with Building Regulations will be required. Before commencing works it is recommended that discussions take place with the Building Control section of this Council. You can contact Building Control on 01642 729375 or by email at buildingcontrol@middlesbrough.gov.uk. Where a building regulations approval is obtained which differs from your planning permission, you should discuss this matter with the Local Planning Authority to determine if the changes require further consent under planning legislation.
