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).
2. 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 received 25th March 2026 b) Site Plan received 25th March 2026 c) Proposed Plans & Elevations received 25th March 2026 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out as approved.
3. Materials - Matching The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces (including walls, roof & windows) of the development hereby permitted shall match those used in the existing building or shall be in accordance with details which have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason: To ensure the use of appropriate materials in the interests of the visual amenities of the area having regard for Policies DC1, CS4 and CS5 of the Local Plan and section 12 of the NPPF.
4. Reason for Approval This application is satisfactory in that the design of the proposed conversion 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 conversion accords with the local policy requirements (Policies CS5 & DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular the conversion is designed so that the appearance is complementary to the existing dwellinghouse and so that it will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The conversion 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. Rights of Access/Encroachment This planning approval does not permit any person to access another person’s land/property to enable the works to be completed, without their consent. Any encroachment into another person’s land/property above or below ground is a civil matter to be resolved between the relevant parties.
