1.            No development shall commence until details of the appearance, landscaping, layout, scale and access for the development (hereafter referred to as the ‘reserved maters’) have been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority.

Reason:            Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. This is an outline application only and such details must be approved before development commences, and to accord with the objectives of Local Plan Policies G1 and H3 and with the intentions of the NPPF (2012).

 

2.            Application for approval of reserved matters shall be made to the local planning authority not later than the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

Reason:            Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

 

3.            The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved.

Reason:            Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

 

4.         The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the application received 9 October 2017 and in accordance with the associated plan referenced:

 

§    Drawing Ref: 01 ‘Site Plan’ 1:1250 (1/7)

 

Reason:            To ensure the development is undertaken in accordance with the approved details and to accord with Adopted Local Plan Policy G1.

 

 

5.         The development permitted by this planning permission shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) undertaken by RM Associates (Version 1, dated October 2017) including the following mitigation measures detailed within the FRA:

 

§    Finished ground floor levels of the dwellings shall be set no lower than 3.40m AOD (0.5m above existing ground level)

§    Flood resilient and resistent construction techniques to be used as described

 

Reason:            To reduce the risk of flooding to the proposed development and future occupiers and to accord with the intentions of the National Planning Policy Framework (2012)

 

6.         No development shall take place until a surface water drainage scheme for the site, based on sustainable urban drainage principles and an assessment of the hydrological and hydrogeological context of the development, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

 

The scheme shall:

 

a) Provide details of how run-off will be safely conveyed and attenuated during storms up to and including the 1 in 100 year critical storm event, with an allowance for climate change, from all hard surfaced areas within the development into the existing local drainage infrastructure and watercourse system without exceeding the run-off rate for the undeveloped site;

 

b) Provide attenuation details and discharge rates which shall be restricted to 1.4 litres per second;

 

c) Provide details of the timetable for and any phasing of implementation for the drainage scheme; and

 

d) Provide details of how the scheme shall be maintained and managed over the lifetime of the development, including any arrangements for adoption by any public body or Statutory Undertaker and any other arrangements required to secure the operation of the drainage system throughout its lifetime.

 

The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved drainage scheme and no dwelling shall be occupied until the approved scheme has been completed or provided on the site in accordance with the approved phasing. The approved scheme shall be retained and maintained in full in accordance with the approved details.

                                               
Reason:            In accordance with the details of the application and this is a pre-commencement condition in order to ensure the satisfactory, sustainable drainage of the site, to ensure that surface water run-off from the development will not adversely affect, by reason of flooding, the safety amenity and convenience of the residents of this site and the vicinity and to accord with Adopted Local Plan Policies G1 and G6.

 

 

7.         Before each dwelling is occupied the roads and/or footways providing access to that dwelling, for the whole of its frontage, from an existing public highway, shall be constructed to a specification to enable them to be adopted as highway maintainable at the public expense, less the carriageway and footway surface courses.

 

            The carriageway and footway surface courses shall be completed within three months from the date upon which the erection is commenced of the penultimate dwelling.

 

Reason:            To ensure safe access to the site and each dwelling in the interests of residential amenity, convenience and safety, and to accord with Adopted Plan Policies G1 and G6.

 

8.         No dwelling shall be occupied before the first 50 metres of estate road from its junction with Wigtoft Road, including visibility splays, as shown on drawing no. 03 Rev F, has been completed.

 

Reason:            In the interest of safety of the users of the public highway and the safety of the users of the site and to enable calling vehicles to wait clear of the carriageway of Wigtoft Road. This condition accords with Adopted Plan Policies G1 and G6.

 

9.         When the application is made for approval of the 'Reserved Matters' that application shall show details of the arrangements for the parking/turning/manoeuvring/loading/unloading vehicles within the site. These arrangements shall be provided before any buildings are occupied and shall be kept permanently free for such use at all times thereafter.

 

Reason:            To enable calling vehicles to wait clear of the carriageway of Wigtoft Road and to allow vehicles to enter and leave the highway in a forward gear in the interests of highway safety in accordance with Adopted Plan Policies G1 and G6.

 

10.       Prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted a Construction Management Plan (CMP) shall be submitted to the local planning authority for approval. The CMP will prescribe how the construction of the site will be phased, where site accommodation and welfare facilities will be placed, hours of working, where site vehicles will be parked and where materials will be stored within the site. Construction of the development hereby permitted shall be undertaken in accordance with the CMP.

 

            Reason:            In the interests of the safety and free passage of the public and to protect neighbour’s amenity during construction and to accord with Adopted Plan Policies G1 and G6. This is a pre-commencement condition due to the fact that the management of plant, site equipment etc needs to be agreed prior to commencement of any development to make certain that neighbour’s amenities are fully respected.

 

11.       No more than 9 dwellings shall be erected on this site.

 

Reason:            To define the permission and to accord with Adopted Plan Policy G1.
