PERMISSION subject to:

1.

The development hereby permitted shall be begun within three years from the date of this permission.

Reason:  To comply with the provision 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.

The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in complete accordance with the details shown on the submitted plans, numbers

  P20-080 02-02-004 - site location plan

  P20-080 02-02-001  - block plan

  P20-080 02-02-002 - site plan

  P20-080 02-02-003 - Topo survey

  P20-080 02-05-001 - Proposed elevations

  P20-080 02-05-002 - Proposed Elevations

  P20-080 02-03-001 - Proposed ground floor

  P20-080 02-03-002 - Proposed first floor

  P20-080 02-05-003 - Existing elevation

  P20-080 02-02-005 - court plan

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

3.

No development shall take place above DPC level of the development hereby permitted until samples and details of the materials to be used in the construction of all external surfaces hereby permitted have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason:  To ensure the development has a satisfactory external appearance in the interest of visual amenities in accordance with Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) Policy E1.

4.

Development shall proceed in accordance with the measures set out in Section 4.2 (Table 8) of the PRA report by Arb Tech (August 2021). In addition, it is highly advisable to undertake clearance of potential bird nesting areas outside the bird nesting season, which is generally seen as extending from March to the end of August, although may extend longer depending on local conditons. If there is absolutely no alternative to doing the work in during this period then a thorough, careful and quiet examination of the affected area must be carried out before clearance starts. If occupied nests are present then work must stop in that area, a suitable (approximately 5m) stand-off maintained, and clearance can only recommence once the nest becomes unoccupied of its own accord.

Reason: To protect and enhance biodiversity in accordance with the Habitat and Species Regulations 2017, Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, NERC Act, NPPF and Policy E5 of the Test Valley Local Plan.

5.

No development (including site clearance and any other preparatory works) shall take place until a scheme detailing how trees shown on the approved plans to be retained are to be protected has been submitted to and approved in writing by  ...  view the full minutes text for item 173.
