1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Phasing compliance

   The dwellings hereby approved must be constructed in accordance with the phasing programme approved as part of PA 13/00777. REASON: the overall estate has been phased to ensure the appropriate provision of public open space and highways and the development hereby approved must accord with that.

3. 3

   Landscaping scheme

   Other than as specified in the approved phasing schedule, 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. REASON: it is important for the success of the development that the landscaping, which is designed to soften and complement the built development, is introduced as shown in the plans.

REASON: when each dwelling is occupied there must be a reasonable standard of roadway access to and from the dwelling and from the to the public highway.

   Parking provision

   No dwelling shall be occupied until the vehicular access has been provided where shown on the approved plans and in all cases space has been laid out for at least two motor cars to be parked in accordance with the drawing 17.02 P3. These vehicle parking facilities shall thereafter be retained for use in conjunction with the relevant dwelling.
