- The development hereby permitted shall be commenced within three years from the date of this permission. REASON To prevent the accumulation of planning permissions, and to enable the Council to review the suitability of the development in the light of altered circumstances and to comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
- The development hereby approved shall be implemented only in accordance with the following plans and documents hereby approved by the Local Planning Authority: (a) 346LR-EXT/10092025/REV-A-1/2, Dated 10/09/2025, Received 06/02/2026 (b) 346LR-EXT/10092025/REV-A-2/2, Dated 10/09/2025, Received 06/02/2026 REASON To ensure that the site is developed in accordance with the submitted application and to ensure that the proposed development does not prejudice the amenity of the area and to comply with the Policies in the Development Plan.
- All new external work shall be carried out in materials that match as closely as possible the colour, texture and design of the existing building at the date of this permission. REASON To ensure a satisfactory appearance of the development so as not to prejudice the visual amenities of the locality in accordance with Policy EN1 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004.
- No windows (other than those hereby approved) shall be formed in the flank wall elevation(s) of the development without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority. REASON To minimise any loss of privacy to occupiers of adjoining residential properties in accordance with Core Policy 8 of The Slough Local Development Framework, Core Strategy 2006 – 2026, Development Plan Document, December 2008 and Policy H15 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004
- No access shall be provided from the first-floor extension hereby approved to the roof of the existing ground floor rear extension. REASON To minimise any loss of privacy to occupiers of adjoining residential properties in accordance with Core Policy 8 of The Slough Local Development Framework, Core Strategy 2006 – 2026, Development Plan Document, December 2008 and Policy H15 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004
- It is the view of the Local Planning Authority that the proposed development does improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area for the reasons given in this notice and it is in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
- 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 ancillary to the enjoyment of the main dwelling, with no cooking facilities installed, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 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 Slough Local Development Framework, Core Strategy 2006 – 2026, Development Plan Document, December 2008 and the Slough Local Development Framework, Residential Extensions Guidelines, Supplementary Planning Document, January 2010.
- The applicant is advised that the insertion of additional residential facilities in the outbuilding other than those considered being incidental to that of the main dwellinghouse and the use of the building as separate dwellinghouse is likely to result in enforcement action being taken by the Local Planning Authority. The applicant is in any doubt as to what is considered to be 'incidental', they are advised to seek advice from the Local Planning Authority.
- If Lawful Development Certificate P/12531/002 is granted, the applicant is reminded that it cannot be built out at the same time as the planning permission in question P/12531/003, as it would undermine and contradict Condition 2 in relation to the approved drawings. A separate planning application would be required demonstrating drawings that combine the two elements if the applicant intends to build out the two at the same time.
