That the Chief Planning Officer be authorised to grant Planning Permission subject to conditions which for clarity are produced below in full and those as may be deemed necessary by the Chief Planning Officer:
ACTION REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A SPECIFIC TIMETABLE: TIME LIMIT ON USE
The period of this permission shall expire two years following the date of grant of this permission or at the point at which the adjoining housing developments (approved under ref: DC/18/04774 and DC/18/05447) are completed for all practical purposes (whichever is the earlier) at which date the use hereby permitted shall be ceased and removed.
Within 28 days from the date at which this permission expires any material, equipment or hard landscaping resulting from, or used in connection with, the development hereby permitted shall be removed from the site in its entirety and in accordance with a scheme that shall have previously been submitted to and agreed, in writing, by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: For the avoidance of doubt as to the scope of this permission and because a longer permission would have to be carefully considered by the Local Planning Authority at the time at which any such proposal came forward, as well as to ensure that the site is returned to its previous state so that it does not suffer from any unacceptable longer term impact.
APPROVED PLANS & DOCUMENTS
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the drawings/documents listed under Section A above and/or such other drawings/documents as may be approved by the Local Planning Authority in writing pursuant to other conditions of this permission or such drawings/documents as may subsequently be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority as a non-material amendment following an application in that regard. Such development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with any Phasing Plan approved under Section A, or as necessary in accordance with any successive Phasing Plan as may subsequently be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development pursuant to this condition.
Reason - For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper phased planning of the development.
ACTION REQUIRED WITHIN 3 MONTHS FOLLOWING DATE OF GRANT: DETAILS OF VEHICLES ACCESSING SITE
Within 3 months following the date of grant of this permission details shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority that gives further detail on the type and size of vehicles required to access the site. Thereafter, no vehicle that does not meet with the agreed type and size of vehicle able to access the site shall access or egress the site.
Reason: To ensure that any delivery or works vehicle is able to utilise the existing access and to prevent vehicles that cannot utilise the access from doing so.
RESTRICTION OF USE OF SITE: VEHICLES TO ACCESS AND EGRESS IN A FORWARD GEARING ONLY
At all times, vehicles accessing or egressing the site must do so in a forward gearing.
Reason: In order to prevent vehicles reversing onto the main highway where to do so may obstruct the public highway and impact on the safety of its users.
RESTRICTION OF DEVELOPMENT: HOURS OF OPERATION AND DELIVERY
The use hereby permitted shall not OPERATE outside of the following times:
Weekdays: 08:00 – 18:00
Saturdays: 08:00 – 18:00
Sundays and Public Holidays: No operation at all.
No vehicle connected with the works shall arrive at the yard before 07:30 or leave after 19:00 (except in the case of emergency).
Reason: To ensure that the development hereby permitted is not detrimental to the amenity of the area and/or nearby residents by reason of undue noise including from people entering or leaving the site, as there is insufficient information within the submitted application, and for the avoidance of doubt as to the scope of this permission.
RESTRICTION ON DEVELOPMENT: NO EXTERNAL STORAGE OF GOODS
There shall be no outdoor storage of any materials including waste, goods, equipment including storage, plant, machinery or vehicles of any description on any part of the site outside of the hours of use for the building unless previously agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To ensure a satisfactory appearance of the site and to preserve and enhance the character of the area.
RESTRICTION OF DEVELOPMENT: ROLLER DOOR TO BE KEPT CLOSED
The roller door currently serving the building shall be kept closed at all times with the express exception of allowing for the delivery or removal of goods to or from the building to a vehicle. No other work shall be undertaken within the building when the door is open.
Reason: To ensure any resultant noise from the building is minimised during deliveries.
RESTRICTION OF DEVELOPMENT: NO EXTERNAL ILLUMINATION UNLESS BY AGREEMENT
No external lighting fixtures shall be constructed, installed or illuminated until details of all external lighting proposals have been submitted to and approved, in writing, by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter, no lighting shall be constructed or installed other than in accordance with those approved details and shall only be operated during the hours of use of the building.
Reason: To reduce the risks of any undesirable effects of light pollution
RESTRICTION OF DEVELOPMENT: EXTERNAL PLANT
No external plant shall be constructed, installed, or operated until details of said plant and an acoustic survey compiled by a competent person shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, said survey shall ensure that the rating level of noise emitted from the site’s plant, equipment and machinery shall not exceed 0dBA above the background levels determined at all boundaries near to noise-sensitive premises and the assessment shall have been made in accordance with the current version of British Standard 4142. All recommendations within the survey for the control of noise shall be implemented in full and be retained thereafter in place on site for the duration of this planning permission.
Reason: To ensure that the development hereby permitted is not detrimental to the amenity of the surrounding area by reason of undue noise emission and/or unacceptable disturbance, as there is insufficient information within the submitted application.
RESTRICTION ON DEVELOPMENT: NO BURNING ON SITE
No materials produced as a result of operation of the builder’s yard and the associated adjacent development, or other materials brought onto the site shall be burned on site. All reasonable steps, including damping down site roads, shall be taken to minimise dust and litter emissions from the site during the lifetime of this permission.
Reason: To protect the health and amenity of the surrounding residential dwellings and their occupants from pollution.
