- The window to be created in the flank elevation shall be glazed in obscure glass and shall be retained thereafter. REASON To minimise any loss of privacy to adjoining occupiers in accordance with Policy H15 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004.
- Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order), the outbuilding hereby permitted shall only be used for domestic purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the main dwelling, with no cooking facilities or kitchen facilities installed. The outbuilding shall not be used as separate self-contained residential accommodation or for any industrial, commercial or business use. REASON To protect the amenities of the adjoining occupiers and the character of the area in accordance with Core Policies 4 and 8 of the Core Strategy (2008), Saved Policies EN1 and H15 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough (2004) and the Residential Extensions Guidelines SPD (2010).
