• 1. The works hereby granted registered building consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this consent.

Reason: To comply with paragraph 2(2)(a) of schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented registered building consents.

• 2. Development shall not commence, including any demolition works, until a programme of historic building recording of the existing buildings and structures on the site, together with the present site arrangement including the configuration of Gib Lane, has been undertaken and submitted to the Department for approval in writing. The programme of historic building recording must be undertaken in accordance with Level Two as set out in Understanding Historic Buildings: A guide to good recording practice.

Reason: To ensure and safeguard the recording and inspection of matters of historical importance that will be lost in the course of works.

• 3. No development shall commence, including any demolition works, until sample details of wall cladding, roof finishes, windows and external doors have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The development shall not be carried out unless in accordance with the approved details and be retained thereafter.

• Reason: In the interests of preserving the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and surrounding area.

No development shall commence, including any demolition works, until panels of the facing stonework, including any copings or movement joints, have been erected on site (or an alternative location) and approved in writing by the Department. The development shall not be carried out unless in accordance with the approved details and be retained thereafter.

Reason: In the interests of preserving the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and surrounding area.

• 5. Works of demolition shall not be carried out until a contract that allows for the carrying out of works of redevelopment has been made and planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment for which the contract provides.

Reason: In order to prevent a gap site/sites in the Conservation Area, which would harm its character and appearance.

The proposed development is considered to amount to a highly efficient reuse of a brownfield site within an urban area, whilst being of an appropriate layout, scale and density to ensure that the general character and appearance of the wider Conservation Area would be preserved. The proposals would provide a high standard of living for future occupants, without resulting in a detrimental impact upon the amenities of surrounding residential properties. The development would further provide sufficient off-street parking provision and give rise to improved highway safety following alterations to Gib Lane. The proposals are therefore in compliance with Strategic Policies 4 and 5, General Policy 2 and Environment Policies 35, 42 of the Strategic Plan (2016).
