Council sourceApplication Reference Number: DM/2021/01830 Date of Decision: 13/11/2025Condition Number(s): 7 Prior to the conversion hereby approved details and/or samples of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the conversion shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details and retained as such in perpetuity.REASON: To ensure a satisfactory form of development takes place and to ensure compliance with LDP Policy DES1Conditions(s) Removal:The condition relates to specifying the external finishing materials but is listed as a pre conversion condition which implies it needs to be discharged before works on the development can start. There are a lot of works that need to happen before the project will be ready for external materials so we would like the condition amended to a pre installation condition to allow us to complete the preliminary works whilst the remaining external material choices are chosen by the client and architect.Please change the wording of the condition to be 'prior to the commencement of installation' details and/or samples of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the conversion shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details and retained as such in perpetuity.
