1)    The development permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

        Reason: In order to comply with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2)    The development hereby granted shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the application form and following details and plans hereby approved:

·         Proposed location plan Rev V5 01 dated 12 12 2019

·         Proposed site plan Rev V5 01 dated 12 12 2019

·         Design and Access Statement date-stamped 20 Feb 2020

·         Business Plan May 2020

        Reason: To ensure a satisfactory development and to avoid any ambiguity as to what constitutes the permission.

Prior to Construction

3)    Prior to any other development commencing, a surface water drainage scheme, based on the hierarchy of drainage options in the National Planning Practice Guidance with evidence of an assessment of the site conditions shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include a plan which demonstrates how the development will achieve a neutral or positive impact in permeability of surface water drainage. The approved surface water drainage scheme shall then be implemented in full before the occupation of the development.

        The surface water drainage scheme must be in accordance with the Non-Statutory Technical Standards for Sustainable Drainage Systems (March 2015) or any subsequent replacement national standards.

        Reason: To promote sustainable development, secure proper drainage and to manage the risk of flooding. The condition is considered necessary to be complied with prior to development as compliance with the requirements of the condition at a later time could result in unacceptable harm contrary to the policies of the Development Plan.

4)     Before any other operations are commenced, a plan demonstrating visibility splays for each access shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The visibility splays shall then be implemented in accordance with the approved plan, and shall be retained for their intended use thereafter free of any obstruction exceeding 1m in height. The visibility splays shall be constructed before general development of the site commences so that construction traffic is safeguarded.
