This applies unless differences are shown on the drawings hereby approved or are required by other conditions on this permission.

4.Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 the existing side garage converted into a habitable space hereby permitted shall be used only for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house and not for any trade or business nor as living accommodation.

5.Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, nor any Statutory Instrument which amends, removes or replaces that Order, no window or other opening (other than those shown on the submitted and approved plans) shall be formed in the flank walls of the development hereby permitted without the receipt of a specific planning permission for it from the Local Planning Authority. Reason:- To protect the amenities of neighbouring occupiers and ensure the development complies with policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan (2021).
6.The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by assessing the proposal against all material planning considerations, including planning policies and any representations which were received. It subsequently determined to grant planning permission in accordance with the National Planning Policy requirement that applications for sustainable development are approved where possible. A detailed analysis of the scheme is set out in the report on the application prepared by officers.
7.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. A free guide called "The Party Wall Etc Act 1996: Explanatory Booklet" is available on the website of the Department for Communities and Local Government. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-party-wall-etc-act-1996-revised-explanatory-booklet
