• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no extension, enlargement or other alteration of the dwelling(s) hereby approved, other than that expressly authorised by this approval, shall be carried out, without the prior written approval of the Department. Reason: To control development in the interests of the amenities of the surrounding area.
• 3. The development hereby approved shall not be occupied or operated until the parking and turning areas have been provided in accordance with the approved plans. Such areas shall not be used for any purpose other than the parking and turning of vehicles associated with the development and shall remain free of obstruction for such use at all times.

Reason: To ensure that sufficient provision is made for off-street parking and turning of vehicles in the interests of highway safety.

• 4. Obscure glazing (Pilkington level 5 or equivalent) shall be installed in the east and south elevations of the first floor bathroom/en-suite windows and shall be maintained as such thereafter. Reason: To preserve the amenities of the occupants of the adjacent dwellings.
• 5. No development shall take place until full details of soft landscaping and hard landscaping works have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department and

these works shall be carried out as approved. Details of the soft landscaping works include details of new tree planting showing, type, size and position of each. All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the dwelling, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species. Details of the hard landscaping works include footpaths and hard surfacing materials and any fencing/walls. The hard landscaping works shall be completed in full accordance with the approved details prior to the first occupation of the dwelling hereby permitted.

Reason: To ensure the provision of an appropriate landscape setting to the development.

• 6. Prior to the commencement of any work on site or the removal of any vegetation associated with this approval, a survey must be undertaken in respect of two trees 152 and 153 which are hollowed, which suggests potential for bats, to determine whether the site is used by roosting bats. If this is the case then a report detailing appropriate protection or mitigation measures must be approved by the Department and the development undertaken in accordance with these details. Reason: To accord with the provisions of the Wildlife Act 1990.

This approval relates to drawings reference numbers P10-200, P10-201, P10-202, P10-203, P10-204 and P10-205 all received on 12th August 2016.
