| 1. | The development to which this permission relates must be commenced not later than three years from the date of this permission.
Reason:-
To comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004). |
| 2. | All new external finishes shall be carried out in materials to match those of the existing building(s) to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.
Reason:-
To safeguard the appearance of the premises and the character of the immediate area. |
| 3. | The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise than in complete accordance with the approved plans (as set out on page one of this decision notice).
Reason:-
For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out as approved. |
| 4. | The extension and alterations hereby permitted shall be used only for living accommodation as an integral part of the existing dwelling known as No.1 Severn Avenue, Romford and shall not be used as a separate unit of residential accommodation at any time.
Reason:-
The site is within an area where the Local Planning Authority consider that the sub-division of existing properties should not be permitted in the interests of amenity. |
| 5. | Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, no window or other opening (other than those shown on the submitted and approved plan,) shall be formed in the flank wall(s) of the building(s) hereby permitted, unless specific permission under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 has first been sought and obtained in writing from the Local Planning Authority.
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 proposed roof lights to the proposed living/kitchen area shown on the approved plans shall be permanently glazed with obscure glass not less than level 3 on the standard scale of obscurity and shall thereafter be maintained.
Reason:-
In the interests of privacy. |
| 7. | During construction of the development hereby permitted, any trees within or near to the site shall be protected in accordance with the requirements of BS 5837 (2012) 'Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction'. The protection measures shall be implemented prior to any below ground works and shall be retained for the entire period of the duration of any work at the site, in connection with the development hereby permitted.
Reason: In order to maintain the existing vegetation at the site, which makes an important contribution to the character of the area, and to accord with Policy 27 of the Council's Local Plan. |
| 8. | 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. |
| 9. | Street Tree Informative
The applicant is advised, it is not allowed to sever any substantial tree roots close to the base of the tree (they can be found up to 2 metres from the base) as this would make the tree unstable and likely to fall. If this happens due to action taken to construct the wall, the Council would consider the applicant liable for any damage caused and for any damage to the street trees. Prior to commencement of any work the Arboriculture officer for the Highway Tree Team for Street care should be informed and asked to carry out an inspection. |
| 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.
