Decision & conditions
668987Decision_Approval_Planning_Permission_7898P.pdfPlanning conditions
- CONDITION 3: The facing materials to be used on the external walls and roof shall be as specified on the application form, received by the Council on 11/06/2025 and on plans outlined in Condition 2. REASON: To ensure a satisfactory external appearance and for the avoidance of doubt.
- CONDITION 2: The development shall be carried out in accordance with the plans and documents detailed below: - Application Form Received by Local Planning Authority 11/06/2025 - Site Location Plan - resubmit_drawings.pdf Drg No. 1 - Block Plan - resubmit_drawings.pdf Drg No. 2 - Sustainability Checklist - Existing Plans, Roof Plans and Elevations Drawing Numbers - resubmit_drawings.pdf Drg Nos. 3 - 8 Rev 1 - Proposed Plans, Roof Plans and Elevations - resubmit_drawings.pdf Drg Nos. 9 - 13 Rev 1 Received by Local Planning Authority 03/07/2025 REASON: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the details of the development are acceptable to the Local Planning Authority.
- CONDITION 1: The development to which this permission relates must not be begun later than the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. REASON: To comply with Section 91 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, 2004.
- INFORMATIVE: Consideration should be given to the provision of suitable bat and bird boxes within the new build or adjacent trees in order to increase opportunities for wildlife. Many bat and bird populations have declined dramatically in recent years due to loss of roost, nest and foraging sites as a result of development. However, a variety of bat and bird species use boxes and they can be particularly useful in the built environment, where natural nesting places can be scarce. Please ensure that the boxes are appropriately sited and not lit at night in the case of bat boxes. Further advice and information can be obtained from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). WCC Ecological Services (tel: 01926 418060) would be pleased to advise further if required, in particular regarding which type of boxes to use.
- INFORMATIVE: Buildings of all ages and trees with suitable features (i.e. rot-holes, cracks, fissures) are frequently used by roosting bats. Bats and their ‘roost’ sites are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) making them a European Protected Species. It is a criminal offence to disturb, obstruct or destroy a bat ‘roost’, even if the roost is only occasionally used. Where a bat ‘roost’ is present a licence may be necessary to carry out any works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 0208 261089. The applicant is advised that to ensure no bats are endangered during destructive works, the roof tiles should be removed carefully by hand. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately and Natural England must be contacted on 02080 261089 for advice on the best way to proceed. Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Birds can nest in many places including buildings, trees, shrubs dense ivy, and bramble/rose scrub. Nesting birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). The main nesting season, lasts approximately from March to September inclusive, so work should ideally take place outside these dates if at all possible. N.B birds can nest at any time, and the site should ideally be checked by a suitably qualified ecologist for their presence immediately before work starts, especially if during the breeding season.
- CONDITION 4: No new windows shall be formed in the west elevation of the proposed extension, unless non-material variations are agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. REASON: In the interest of residential amenity.
