Time limit for reserved matters
This approval is in principle only and will remain valid for a period of two years within which time no development may take place until such time as details of the reserved matters (siting, design, external appearance, internal layout, means of access, landscaping) have been approved by the Planning Authority. Such reserved matters should form the subject of a single application.
Plans approved and dormer/windows exclusion
This permission relates to the principle of the conversion of the former mill to a dwelling as shown generally in drawings 9.2.07 and 8.1.07 and the site and location plans all received on 23rd February, 2007. No approval is hereby granted however to the inclusion of the dormer as shown in these drawings and the proliferation of additional windows to this section of the property.
No permitted development rights
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2005 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) no extensions, greenhouses, walls, gates, fences, garden sheds, summerhouses, flag poles, decking, garages, or tanks for the storage of oil for domestic heating shall be erected (other than those expressly authorised by this approval.)
Access details
The application for reserved matters must illustrate the means of access to the site from the Scholaby Road down to the proposed vehicular parking within the site by way of an informal gravelled or hardcored track. A formal pavioured, concrete or tarmacadam access will not be considered acceptable due to its suburban impact on this open field.
Bat survey
The application for reserved matters must include a detailed report into the possible presence of bats within the building and if such species which are protected under the Wildlife Act 1993, are found, a method statement of how they will be dealt with without adversely affecting them or their roosts must also be provided. The advice of DAFF is strongly recommended in this respect.
