Requires developments to provide satisfactory amenity standards including safe access, adequate parking, servicing, manoeuvring, and no adverse effect on road safety or traffic flows.

Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Permitted uses
The premises may be used either as an estate agency or retail shop under Class 1 of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order (Schedule 4 - Uses Classes). Reason: the site has had permission for both uses and it is clear that either use is acceptable here.
