- You must obtain the prior written consent of the owner and occupier of any land upon which it is necessary for you to enter in order to construct, externally finish, decorate or in any other way carry out any works in connection with this development including future repairs/maintenance, or to obtain support from adjoining property. This permission does not authorise you to take such action without first obtaining this consent. Your attention is also drawn to the Access of Neighbouring Land Act 1992 and Party Wall Act 1996.
- This Decision Notice grants planning permission. You are advised that it does not constitute approval under the Building Regulations.

- Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is an offence to damage, destroy or obstruct access to any structure or place that bats, great crested newts or any other animal listed in Schedule 5 of the Act use for shelter or protection. Under this Act it is also an offence to disturb barn owls whilst building a nest or in the vicinity of a nest containing eggs or young.
