Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- 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/site plan recieved 2nd March 2026 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out as approved.
- 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).
- REASON FOR APPROVAL This application is satisfactory in that the overflow car park 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 car park accords with the local policy requirements (Policies CSS and DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular the car park is designed so that its appearance is complementary to the existing school site and its surroundings and will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The car park 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 site 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.
