• 3. The internal lighting hereby approved must not be illuminated between the hours 2200 - 0700 hours daily. Reason: In the interest of visual and local amenity.

Reason: To protect the amenities of the countryside, and that the application has been assessed on the basis that it is to be used in association with and by the occupants of Mines Cottage.
