Change of use to residential curtilage (including erection of fence and vehicular gate)

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 15th June 2026 b. Proposed Site Plan 26 610 02 Rev A, received 11th August 2026 c. Proposed fence elevations, received 15th June 2026 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out as approved.
3. Hardstanding The hardstanding hereby approved shall be constructed using permeable materials or a suitable drainage system to ensure that surface water does not flow onto the public highway. Thereafter the permeable materials or drainage system shall be retained on site for the lifetime of the development. Reason: To reduce flood risk and in the interests of highway safety having regard for Policies DC1 and CS4 of the Local Plan and sections 12 and 14 of the NPPF.
4. Removal of Access The existing vehicular access to Park Road South shown as not being retained on the approved drawing(s) 25/610/02, REV A shall be reinstated to full height kerb and footway in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the LPA prior to the proposed new access hereby approved being brought into use. Reason: To confine access to the permitted points in the interests of good management of the highway and to minimise the number of vehicle accesses onto the highway in the interests of free flow of traffic and safety of highway users having regard for Policy DC1 of the Local Plan and sections 9 and 12 of the NPPF.
5. REASON FOR APPROVAL This application is satisfactory in that the change of use of the open space to residential curtilage with associated boundary treatment accords with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the local policy requirements (Policy DC1, and CS5 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular, the change of use of the open space to residential curtilage will not prejudice the character and function of the area and will not significantly affect any landscaping. The proposed residential use will be consistent with the existing uses within this location and it will not be detrimental to any adjoining or surrounding properties. The proposed residential use will not result in an unacceptable impact on nearby properties. 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.
6. HA4 Dropped Kerb - S184 The permission hereby granted should not be construed as authority to work within the public highway. Highways consent is required for the creation/alteration of a dropped vehicle crossing under Section 184 of the 1980 Highways Act. Such works will need to be carried out at the applicant’s expense by Middlesbrough Council approved contractors. The applicant is advised that prior to the commencement of works on site they should contact the Highway Authority (01642 728156).
