• 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. The protection measures and construction methods detailed in the Tree Survey and Report prepared by Manx Roots Tree Management Limited submitted in support of the application shall be adhered to in full, subject to the pre-arranged supervision detailed in section 10 and appendix 5, by a suitably qualified and pre-appointed tree specialist. No retained tree shall be cut down, uprooted, or wilfully destroyed during the development phase and thereafter within 5 years from the completion date, other than in accordance with the approved plans and particulars or as may be permitted by prior approval in writing from the Department. This condition may only be fully discharged on completion of the development subject to satisfactory written evidence of contemporaneous supervision and monitoring of the tree protection throughout construction by a suitably qualified and preappointed tree specialist. Reason: to ensure that tree loss is minimised in the interests of the character of the area.
• 3. Mitigation planting and post planting maintenance shall be carried out in accordance with Appendix 7 of the Tree Survey and Report prepared by Manx Roots Tree Management submitted in support of the application.

Note: the applicant is encouraged to try to retain T4 (large mature sycamore) which is very visible from the A13 Jurby Road and has a high amenity value. Whilst defects have been reported, other remedial pruning options that would allow the tree to be retained should be considered.

Reason: to ensure that the development sits comfortably in its surroundings and has as little impact on the existing trees as possible.
