Decision & conditions

- Prior to the installation of any such fixtures to the building or within the site, details of any external lighting shall have been submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall include the purpose, number, position and design of the lighting. All lighting used shall be fully shielded to angle the light downward, be no more than 500 lumens, have a colour temperature less than 2700K, be fitted with proximity sensors so they are switched off when not needed (dusk-till-dawn sensors shall not be use) and be installed at the lowest possible height to achieve lighting levels required. Any external lighting shall accord with the approved details thereafter. No additional lighting shall be installed other than as hereby approved. Reason: To ensure that the general amenity of the area is retained, wildlife is protected and the development protects the dark skies of the National Park, having regard to policy DEV5 of the adopted Eden Local Plan (2015-2030).
- Unless they have been identified for felling on a landscaping plan approved by the Local Planning Authority, or within an approved tree care plan or arboricultural report subject to planning condition, all trees on, or immediately adjacent to the site, shall be protected for the duration of the works hereby approved. Unless otherwise stated within an approved tree care plan or arboricultural report subject to planning condition, the protection of the trees shall be as follows: i) no demolition, site clearance or building operations shall commence until tree protective fencing is in place. Tree protective fencing shall consist of clamped and securely positioned 2m steel mesh barrier fencing. The protective fencing shall be erected around the root protection area of each tree or group of trees, on or immediately adjacent to the site. The minimum radius of the root protection area is 12 multiplied by the tree diameter as measured at 1.5m from the ground level (in line with BS5837:2012 Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction). Such fencing shall be maintained until the development is complete; ii) no trenches, including any trench for services, waste treatment or drainage, shall encroach within the agreed root protection area of any trees which are on, or immediately adjacent to the site; iii) no surface type changes or land level changes shall take place within the agreed root protection area. No topsoil or other spoil from excavations shall be permanently or temporarily disposed of within the agreed root protection area of trees which are on or immediately adjacent to the site; iv) the burning of materials, including any obtained by site clearance or demolition, shall not take place within 15 metres of the furthest extent of a canopy of any tree or group of trees on, or immediately adjacent to the site; v) no mixing of cement-based or other building materials should take place within the agreed root protection area, and no storage of materials, including fuel, shall take place in the protected areas; vi) no tree felling, crown reduction or removal of branches shall be carried out. Reason: To ensure the continued well-being of trees, in accordance with policy ENV2 of the adopted Eden Local Plan (2014-2032).
- Notwithstanding the approved plans and details the development shall be carried out in accordance with the following design details and retained as such thereafter: i. The buildings hereby approved shall be clad in timber Yorkshire boarding that shall be left unpainted/unstained to weather naturally; ii. The roof covering of the building(s) shall be finished in an Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016); and iii. The roof lights installed within the building(s) roof slopes, shall not exceed more than one roof light per bay per side. Reason: To ensure the appearance of the building acceptable in accordance with polices RUR2 and DEV5 of the adopted Eden Local Plan (2014-2032).
- The development hereby approved shall be completed (as defined by Part 6 of the General Permitted Development Order 2015) before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission. Reason: To comply with The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
- When the development hereby approved ceases to be used for the purpose for which it was constructed, namely for agricultural purposes, it shall be removed from the site together with all ancillary equipment to leave the site clear. The site shall be restored in accordance with details first submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To remove buildings and other features which have ceased to be used for agricultural purposes and in order for the Local Planning Authority to retain control over the land in accordance with policy RUR2 of the adopted Eden Local Plan (2014-2032).
- Within 6 months of the completion of the development hereby permitted two bird boxes, shall have been installed within the site. The bird boxes shall be retained as such thereafter, unless details of an alternative biodiversity enhancement measure are first submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
