Decision & conditions
691013Decision_Approval_Planning_Permission_7994.pdfPlanning conditions
- 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.
- CONDITION 2: The development shall be carried out in accordance with the plans and documents detailed below: - Application Form - Proposed Side Elevations, Section and Block Plans Drg No. P-04 - Site Location Plan - Sustainability Checklist Received by Local Planning Authority 12.08.2025 - Existing Site Plan, Floor Plans, Elevations, Section and Location Drg No. P-01 Rev A - Proposed Site Plan and Floor Plans Drg No. P-02 Rev A - Proposed Roof Plan and Elevations Drg No. P-03 Rev A Received by Local Planning Authority 06.11.2025 REASON: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the details of the development are acceptable to the Local Planning Authority.
- 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 12.08.2025 and on plans outlined in Condition 2. REASON: To ensure a satisfactory external appearance and for the avoidance of doubt.
- INFORMATIVE 1: Bats can be found in many buildings, even those that initially appear to be unsuitable or have been subject to a bat survey and found no evidence. Therefore, if any evidence of bats is found on site, work should stop while a bat survey is carried out by an experienced bat worker, and any recommendations made following the survey are undertaken. It should also be noted that as bats are a mobile species and can move into a property with potential access at any time. A further survey may be required if the works are not undertaken within two years. Bats and roosts are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, and The Conservation of Habitat and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).
- INFORMATIVE 2: 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, 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 for their presence immediately before work starts, especially if during the breeding season.
- INFORMATIVE 3: 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 4: Environmental Services advise that in order to reduce the likelihood of local residents being subjected to adverse levels of noise annoyance during construction, work on site should not occur outside the following hours: - Monday - Friday - 7.30 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. Saturday - 8.30 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. No work on Sundays & Bank Holidays.
- CONDITION 4: No new windows shall be formed in the North side elevation of the proposed first-floor rear extension, unless non-material variations are agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. REASON: In the interest of residential amenity.
