Condition Details / Information Notes
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission/consent, the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans/drawings/documents – Location Plan – Dwg no. 250506_L01 Block Plan – Dwg no. 250506_S01 Proposed Ground & First Floor Plans – Dwg no. 250506_P01_R1 Proposed Roof Plan & Section – Dwg no. 250506_P02_R1 Proposed East & North Elevations – Dwg no. 250506_P04_R1 Proposed West and South Elevations – Dwg no. 250506_P04_R1 Reason: To define the permission.
Prior to the first use/occupation of the development hereby permitted, the details set out in the submitted Water Management Statement shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter. Reason: To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDP29 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016.
A bat box shall be installed within the land ownership of the site (e.g. Ibstock enclosed bat box, Habibat bat box, Schwegler Wall-mounted Bat Shelter 2FE, Schwegler 2F Bat Box). The box should be installed at least 4m above ground-level, and not placed above windows. The roosting feature shall be installed before the first use of any part of the development. Reason: To ensure the development contributes to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity within the site and the wider area in accordance with policy SWDP22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
The annexe accommodation development hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the dwelling known as 3 Rock Cottage. The development shall not be used as an independent self-contained dwelling separate from the dwelling known as 3 Rock Cottage. Reason: To preserve the amenities of the locality in accord with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and as a separate dwelling house in this location would not represent sustainable development and be contrary to the development location strategy set out in policy SWDP2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary.
