Decision & Reasoning

Conditions (5)

1. 1

   Time limit

   The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.

2. 2

   Approved drawings

   This approval relates to drawing numbers 50.1.04 and 51.2.04 which are date stamped 4th June 2004.

3. 3

   Pre-works noise survey

   Prior to the commencement of works there must be a survey undertaken to establish the existing ambient noise levels both within the site and at the boundary of the two nearest residential properties on Station Road (Number 7 and Number 11). Details of the survey, which must include equipment and delivery vehicle noise, must be submitted to the Planning Committee for consideration and approval.

4. 4

   No noise increase / attenuation scheme

   The development hereby approved shall not increase the level of noise at the boundary of the two nearest residential properties. Once the new vessels are in place and the delivery methods in operation, additional noise data shall be submitted to the Planning Committee within 3 months to demonstrate that the ambient noise levels at the boundary of the nearest residential properties are no greater than existing levels. If this evidence should demonstrate that there has been an increase in noise, a scheme must be submitted to and approved by the Planning Committee to show that noise attenuation measures are to be put in place. Such a scheme must be in place and operational within 6 months of the date that the new vessels are in place and the delivery methods become operational.

5. 5

   Construction hours

   Construction works including the use of machinery shall only be carried out between the hours of 0800 and 1800 on any given weekday (Monday to Friday). No approval is granted for any construction works including the use of machinery on any Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday.
