- CONDITION 7: The proposed access shall not be used in connection with the development until it has been surfaced with a bound macadam for the whole of its length. REASON: In the interest of Highway Safety
- CONDITION 8: The access to the site for cars shall not be used unless a public highway footway crossing has been laid out and constructed in accordance with the Proposed Plans and Elevations Drg No. 9015-11 Rev A, received by Local Planning Authority 08.01.2026.

REASON: In the interest of Highway Safety
- INFORMATIVE 1: 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.
- INFORMATIVE 2: Prior to any demolition, redevelopment or refurbishment works taking place an appropriate Asbestos Survey should be undertaken by an asbestos licensed/authorised company/person and any recommendations implemented. For pre-demolition assessment the asbestos survey is fully intrusive and will involve a destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas. Where presence of asbestos is suspected the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Environment Agency must be notified and special waste regulations complied with; asbestos removal activities fall under the remit of the HSE.
- INFORMATIVE 3: The applicant is encouraged to incorporate measures to assist in reducing their impact upon the Air Quality Management Area as part of this development. Initiatives could include the installation of an ultra-low emission boiler (<40mg/kWh), increased tree planting/landscaping, solar thermal panels, and the incorporation of electric vehicle charging points on any car parking. More information on plants that can be incorporated into landscaping for green walls and roofs can be found here: https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/application/files/4915/2604/2216/2018-05-11-phytosensor-final-web-ok-compressed_1.pdf Such measures contribute towards improving air quality. Should you require any further advice on ensuring your development has a positive contribution on air quality, further information can be obtained from the Commercial Regulation team through 01788 533533 or email ehcs@rugby.gov.uk Should an Air Source Heat Pump be proposed for installation, it should be ensured that the noise from such plant will not adversely affect residential amenity in the area. These units can create noticeable noise levels which may affect neighbouring dwellings so noise mitigation may be necessary to avoid complaints or possible formal action under other legislation.
- CONDITION 5: No works to construct the archway on the west boundary wall shall commence until samples of reclaimed bricks to be used have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. All works relating to this archway shall thereafter be undertaken in accordance with the bricks thereby approved. REASON: To preserve the character of the conservation area and ensure a satisfactory external appearance
- INFORMATIVE 4: The applicant is reminded of the provisions of the Party Wall etc Act 1996 which may require notification of the works hereby permitted to all affected neighbours. More detailed information regarding the provisions of 'The Act' should be obtained from an appropriately qualified professional with knowledge of party wall matters.
