9.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.
10.Impact on Flank Windows from Future Development Informative The installation of flank windows 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 land be developed or extended.
11.Hardstanding Informative The applicant is advised that planning permission is not required for new or replacement hardstanding of any size which uses permeable (or porous) surfacing and allows water to drain through, such as gravel, permeable concrete block paving or porous asphalt, or if the rainwater is directed to a lawn or border to drain naturally. However, if the surface to be covered is more than five square metres planning permission will be needed for laying traditional, impermeable driveways that do not provide for the water to run to a permeable area.
12.Patio, decking or raised platform informative The applicant should note that limited information has been provided in respect to the alteration within the rear garden. Putting up decking, or other raised platforms including patios, in your garden is permitted development, not needing an application for planning permission, providing: ·The decking/patio or raised platform is no more than 30cm above the ground ·Together with other extensions, outbuildings etc, the decking or platforms cover no more than 50 per cent of the garden area. ·None of the decking or platform is on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation.
13.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. 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

The revisions involved reducing the depth of the first floor extension from 4m to 3.5m and setting the first floor side extension back 1m from the front wall of the dwelling. In addition, a change of design was included during the process. The amendments were subsequently submitted on 17/01, 09/06, 14/06 & 16/06/22.
