Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area.

• 3. Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a full scheme for foul and surface water discharge shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department.

They will also include arrangements for the supervision of the development by a suitably qualified tree specialist. The agreed tree protection plan and arboricultural method statement shall be adhered to in full.

Reason: To ensure that adequate information regarding the protection of retained trees is prepared prior to any works starting on site, in order to satisfy the Department that these trees will not be damaged during demolition or construction, so as to protect and enhance the appearance and character of the locality.

• 6. The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until four parking spaces, for use by prospective occupants of the proposed houses, have been provided on land within the applicant's ownership, on the south-eastern side of the rear access to the proposed development, in accordance with a scheme to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department.
