Planning conditions
- INFORMATIVE 1: It is a legal requirement that all new properties are numbered and roads named and in this respect you must apply for Street Naming and Numbering at the earliest opportunity for both new or changes to existing properties, including development revisions. Failure to do this in good time can delay the installation of services and/or prevent the sale of properties. To register the properties on a development and receive correct addressing or to amend an existing address please complete an application form for Street Naming and Numbering. The form can be accessed at: https://www.rugby.gov.uk/w/street-naming-and-numbering-1
- INFORMATIVE 2: 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.

- INFORMATIVE 4: This planning permission is subject to pre-commencement conditions which require details/drawings to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before ANY development may lawfully commence. Any development commenced in breach of these pre-commencement conditions will be unauthorised, a breach of planning control, and liable to immediate Enforcement and Stop Notice action.
- INFORMATIVE: Condition 10 requires that the estate roads [including footways, cycleways, verges, and footpaths] are designed and laid out in accordance with the principles set out in ‘Transport and Roads for Developments: The Warwickshire Guide 2022’ and constructed in accordance with the Highway Authority’s standard specification. This document can be viewed on the following link: https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/warwickshiredesignguide. The applicant / developer is advised that they should enter into a Highway Works Agreement with the Highway Authority made under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 for the adoption of the roads. In terms of design guidance this is carried out in conjunction with the County Road Construction Strategy 2022 on our website as referred to on the opening page. Please see following link: https://api.warwickshire.gov.uk/documents/WCCC-770-261. The approval of plans for the purposes of the planning permission hereby granted does not constitute an approval of the plans under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980.

In accordance with Traffic Management Act 2004 it is necessary for all works in the Highway to be noticed and carried out in accordance with the requirements of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and all relevant Codes of Practice. Before commencing any Highway works the applicant / developer must familiarise themselves with the notice requirements, failure to do so could lead to prosecution. Application should be made to the Street Works Manager, Budbrooke Depot, Old Budbrooke Road, Warwick, CV35 7DP or by email to: streetworks@warwickshire.gov.uk. For works lasting ten days or less, ten days notice will be required. For works lasting longer than 10 days, three months notice will be required.
- INFORMATIVE: Unless the applicant has entered into an agreement under Section 104 of the Water Industry Act 1991 with the appropriate water supply and sewerage treatment company for the adoption of all sewers contained or passing within the limits of a highway, the Highway Authority may not be prepared to complete a Highway Works Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 to adopt the highway.
- INFORMATIVE: Pursuant to Section 149 and 151 of the Highways Act 1980, the applicant/developer must take all necessary action to ensure that mud or other extraneous material is not carried out of the site and deposited on the public highway.
