Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans
This approval relates to the erection of a dwelling with integral garage as proposed in the submitted documents and drawings 906-01, 906-02 and 906-03 all received on 19th August 2011.
Landscaping
All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the dwellings, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.
Estate road construction prior to occupation
The dwelling may not be occupied until such times as the estate road has been constructed to at least base course level and adequately lit from the junction of the adopted highway up to the access of the dwelling to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority after consultation with the Highway Authority.
Parking and access completion
The dwelling may not be occupied until the parking facilities and vehicular access(es) have been completed to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority after consultation with the Highway Authority before being brought into use and such facilities must be thereafter so retained.
Estate road completion before penultimate dwelling
No works may commence upon the construction of the penultimate dwelling within the estate until such times as the estate road has been completed to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority after consultation with the Highway Authority.
Windows retention
The windows in the approved dwelling must be installed as shown and described in the approved plans and may not be replaced, other than by windows identical to these, without the prior written permission of the Planning Authority.
Finishes matching prior approval
The approved dwelling and garaging must be finished in accordance with the schedule of finishes approved under PA 04/02083 in response to condition 7 of that approval.
The garage width is less than the Divisions standard of 3m however there are 2 additional off road car parking spaces therefore the car parking standard set out in the Strategic Plan has been met. No adverse traffic impact.
