Noise:

Noise Impact Assessment N4084-1R3 (Ensafe) - September 2021

 

Reason : To ensure development is in accordance with the submitted drawings and to enable the Local Planning Authority to consider the impact of any change to the approved plans. 

  

Hard landscaping  

 

2.   Notwithstanding Drawing P19-2289_021 Rev D Boundary Treatment Plan prior to construction of the dwellings above slab/foundation level details of hard landscaping works shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Details of hard landscaping works shall include boundary treatments (including hedgehog holes), 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 the dwellings hereby permitted.

 

Reason : Drawing P19-2289_021 Rev D is not acceptable in its current form as elements of enclosures are missing and in the interest of residential amenity further details are required in accordance with Policy ENV10 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2). 

 

Removing Permitted Development Rights  

 

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. 

  

Reason : In the interests of the visual amenity of the area and of highway safety and in accordance with Policy ENV10 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2). 

 

Materials

 

4.   Notwithstanding Drawing P19-2289_024 Rev E Materials Plan prior to construction of the dwellings above slab/foundation level samples (including photographs) of the materials to be used for the external surfaces shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 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. In the interests of visual amenity of the area in accordance with Policy ENV10 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2). 

 

Landscaping 

 

5.   The submitted and approved landscaping scheme shall be implemented prior to the development, or any phase of the development, being first occupied/used, or in accordance with a programme submitted to and approved in writing with the Local Planning Authority. If within a period of five years from the date of the planting of any tree or shrub, they, or any planted in replacement for them, are removed, uprooted or destroyed or die (or becomes in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, seriously damaged or defective) another tree or shrub of the same species and size as that originally planted shall be planted at the same place, unless the Local Planning Authority gives its written consent to any variation. 

  

Reason : In the interests of the visual amenity of the area and in accordance with Policy ENV1 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2). 

 

Use of garages 

 

6.   The garages, parking spaces and turning areas shown on the approved plan(s) shall be constructed/laid out and surfaced in accordance with the approved drawings before the dwelling is first occupied and shall not thereafter be used for any purpose other than garaging/parking of private motor vehicles.

Reason : In the interests of providing an appropriate level and standard of affordable housing. 

 

Retaining walls

 

8.   Notwithstanding Drawing 18865-OVER-5-200 E (Sheet 1 of 2) and Drawing 18865-OVER-5-201 E (Sheet 2 of 2) prior to construction of the dwellings above slab/foundation level, details of any retaining walls proposed shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reason :  In the interests of the visual amenity of the area and in accordance with Policy ENV1 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2).
