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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Photographic survey
Prior to the commencement of any work including demolition, the applicant must have submitted to and approved by the Department a photographic survey of the outside and inside of the building to retain a record of this for the future. Reason: The building is a prominent one in the streetscene and an old one and a record of it is considered necessary before the building is demolished.
Front boundary wall scheme
Prior to the commencement of any building work, the applicant must have approved by the Department a scheme for the treatment of the front boundary wall. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme. Reason: It is important that all elements of the building are considered appropriate from all perspectives, particularly from a pedestrian's view. Additional details are therefore required which demonstrate how the front boundary wall will add positively to the character of the building and the streetscene.
Parking availability
Prior to the occupation of any of the units, the parking spaces and garaging must be available for use for the parking of vehicles by occupants of the building and retained as such thereafter. Reason: To ensure that there is sufficient car parking available in accordance with the standards of the Strategic Plan.
