Lawn areas will be laid to the rear of each property as shown on the block site plans.

Evergreen shrubs/box hedges will be planted to the rear and side boundaries of each plot, as shown on the proposed block site plans.

• f) Vehicle Access and Parking Areas: As shown on the Proposed Block Site Plans, the whole frontal area of each property will be fully block paved to provide ample parking space, in addition each property features an integral single garage. This, together with the excellent visibility splays in each direction from each plot will ensure that cars can safely enter and exit the plots with ample parking space.
• g) Surface Water Drainage: Box-type Drainage channels will be fitted to the front curtilages of each plot, ensuring that no run-off water can be transmitted onto the public pathway or road.

Rainwater from the roofs will be discharged either to the public rainwater sewer, or if this is not possible, to soakaways.
