Agenda item

1)    The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

REASON:

To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2)    The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted drawings numbered 42_Yard Lane_House_Existing_001, 42_Yard Lane_House_Layout_002, 42_Yard Lane_House_Proposed_PlansElevs_003, 42_Yard Lane_Outbuilding_Existing_004 and 42_Yard Lane_Outbuilding_Proposed_005.

REASON:

For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

3)    i) No development of the new buildings above ground floor slab level shall commence until full details of the materials and finishes to be used for the exterior of the buildings (including product literature and photographic examples, and if requested, samples to be made available for inspection on-site) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.

ii) The development shall not be carried out other than using the so-     approved materials and finishes.

REASON:

The application contained insufficient information to enable these details to be considered prior to granting planning permission but the details need to be agreed in order that the development is undertaken in an acceptable manner, in the interests of visual amenity and the character and appearance of the area

4)    i) The dwelling hereby approved shall achieve a level of energy performance at or equivalent to Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. 

ii) The dwelling shall not be occupied until evidence has been issued and submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority certifying that this level or equivalent has been achieved.

REASON:

To ensure that the objectives of sustainable development equal or equivalent to those set out in Policy CP41 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy are achieved.

5)    Prior to the occupation of the dwelling hereby permitted there shall have been submitted to and approved in writing a scheme of hard and soft landscaping that details:

a)   a detailed planting specification showing all plant species, supply and planting sizes and planting densities;

b)   areas of hard surfacing and the surfacing materials to be used;

REASON:

The application contained insufficient detail of landscaping proposals for the development. Details need to be approved in order to ensure a satisfactory landscaped setting for the development.

6)    i) All soft landscaping comprised in the approved details of landscaping shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding season following the first occupation of the dwelling or the substantial completion of the development whichever is the sooner.

ii) All shrubs, trees and hedge planting shall be maintained free from weeds and shall be protected from damage by vermin and stock.

iii) Any trees or plants which, within a period of five years, die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the local planning authority. 

iv) All hard landscaping shall also be carried out within 6 months of the occupation of any part of the development.

REASON:

To ensure a satisfactory landscaped setting for the development.

7)    The outbuilding hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of either the existing dwelling (known as Elm Cottage) or the replacement dwelling as hereby permitted.

REASON:

The building is sited in a position where the local planning authority, having regard to the reasonable standards of residential amenity, access, and planning policies pertaining to the area, would be unlikely to permit other uses.

INFORMATIVE

The applicant is reminded that, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended (Section 1), it is an offence to remove, damage and/or destroy a nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built. Planning permission for development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this Act. Evidence of nesting birds has been found in the soffits of the building due to be demolished and as such it should be assumed nesting birds will be present between 1st March and 31st August, unless a recent survey by a competent person has demonstrated otherwise.
