Details of hard landscaping works shall include boundary treatments, including full details of the proposed boundary walls, fences, railings and gates to be erected, specifying the colour of the railings and gates; footpaths. The hard landscaping works shall be completed in full accordance with the approved details within three months of the first occupation of each dwelling hereby permitted. 

  

Reason : Drawing 1012_003 (Rev B) Enclosures Plan is not acceptable in its current form as elements of enclosures are missing.  In the interest of residential amenity further details are required in accordance with Policy ENV10 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2). 

 

Means of enclosure

 

3.   Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no alterations shall be made to any means of enclosure hereby approved that front a highway, footpath or private drive, and no new means of enclosure shall be erected within the curtilage of any dwelling house forward of any wall of that dwelling house which fronts on to a highway, footpath or private drive, in either case without the prior written consent of the Local Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, ‘means of enclosure’ shall include fences, gates, railings, walls or hedges. Any gates shall be set back 5.5m from the highway boundary.

Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. 

  

Reason : From the approved application details it is not possible to assess the appropriateness of the proposed materials without checking them on site and comparing them to their surroundings, to ensure the proposed materials are appropriate to the appearance of the locality. Because it can take up to 8 weeks to discharge a condition, it is recommended the samples are provided at least 8 weeks before they need to be ordered.
