Reason:-
In order to ensure a satisfactory development that will not result in any loss of privacy or damage to the environment of neighbouring properties which exist or may be proposed in the future. |
| 6. | The roof area of the extension hereby permitted shall not be used as a balcony, roof garden or similar amenity area without the grant of further specific permission from the Local Planning Authority.
Reason:-
In the interests of the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring dwelling. |
| 7. | Land Ownership Informative
The applicant is advised that this planning permission does not give consent for any part of the development including guttering and fascias to encroach onto any land not within the applicant's ownership. |
| 8. | Flank Window Informative
The applicant should note that the installation of flank windows including rooflights on or close to the boundary are discouraged, as these windows claim light from exclusively outside of the site over land which a resident has no control. In such circumstances, the Local Planning Authority cannot undertake to safeguard the entry of light to the flank windows should the neighbouring properties decide to extend in the future. |
| 9. | Flood Resilience Informative
For any development where a flood risk is identified, the Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority want to see developers consider and implement flood resilience/resistance measures into the buildings themselves. This is not to stop development but to ensure the protection for future residents is maintained and enhanced.
The following measures are strongly recommended, although this list is not exhaustive:-
- Raising the level of the building by at least 300mm above local levels;
- Waterproof membrane in the ground floor;
- Waterproof plaster and waterproofing to ground floor;
- Electrics from the upstairs down and sockets high up off the ground floor;
- Non return valves on the sewerage pipes;
- Emergency escape plan for each individual property;
- Air brick covers; and
- Movable flood barriers for entrances |
| 10. | Party Wall Informative
This planning permission does not remove the need to obtain any separate consent of the owner of the adjoining property prior to commencing building works on, under, above or immediately adjacent to their property (e.g. foundations or guttering). The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 contains requirements to serve notice on adjoining owners of property under certain circumstances, and a procedure exists for resolving disputes. This is a matter of civil law between the two parties, and the Local Planning Authority are not involved in such matters.
