### Schedule Of Conditions:

1. Approval of the details of siting, design, external appearance of the building[s], internal layout, means of access, landscaping of the site (hereinafter called "the reserved matters") shall be obtained from the Planning Authority in writing before any development is commenced.

2. The application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the Planning Authority before the expiration of two years from the date of this permission.

3. The development to which this permission relates shall begin within 4 years of the date of this permission or within two years of the final approval of the reserved matters, whichever is the later.

4. This permission relates to the principle of the redevelopment of the site to create a single large dwelling with associated accommodation for staff and guests, including a gate lodge together with access, landscaping and a new, expanded residential curtilage, all within the area edged red and as shown generally on plan reference P/10-03 received on 14th March, 2012. This is on the basis of redevelopment of all of the buildings and the removal of all existing structures such that the development need not be constrained by the existing fabric which is not of particular interest or merit.

5. Whilst no approval is granted for the specific siting and layout shown on the illustrative plan K139/P/10-04 the overall area of the footprint of the retained and new buildings to accommodate the main house, the gym/swimming pool, the garage, the staff accommodation and the guest accommodation shall not exceed the area of the built development shown on the plan.

6. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order (or any Order revoking or re-enacting the Order) no fencing, walling or extensions shall be erected without the express consent of the Planning Authority.

NOTE The strategic policy on the introduction of replacement buildings in the countryside (Housing Policy 14) generally requires that new fabric is no greater than 50% larger than the existing. Whilst in this case provision can and will be made for new fabric which is larger than this on the basis that the scheme is replacing four individual dwellings with one with associated ancillary accommodation it is not possible to grant specific permission for the scheme shown in the submitted drawings without having the benefit of full elevational drawings which illustrate the mass of the proposed buildings and their impact particularly from the steam railway line to the south west.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
