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 D410, D415A, D-001, D116 (dated 14th September 2021, D101

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

 

3.

No development on the car port hereby approved shall take place until an arboricultural method statement has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Specifically the method statement shall:

1.  Provide a schedule of trees to be retained within 15m of the proposed building, including revised driveways, parking areas, boundary or retaining walls and other associated structures, the schedule to include the required root protection areas, calculated in accordance with British Standard 5837:2012.

2.  Provide a specification for tree protective barriers and or ground protection, either in accordance with the above standard or as otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.

3.  Confirm timing of erection and dismantling of such tree protective barriers and or ground protection, which must in any case be installed prior to commencement of any ground works, and be retained and maintained for the full duration of works until onset of final landscape work or as otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.

4.  Provide a plan at 1:200 or better, detailing the location of such tree protective barriers and or ground protection, including annotation that such tree protection shall remain in this position for the full duration of works or unless by prior written agreement with the Local Planning Authority.

5.  Provide a plan demonstrating that all trenching, excavation, soakaways, pipe and cable runs required by the development can be installed wholly outside the areas protected by barriers or ground protection ( the tree protection zone) as set out in compliance with the above paragraphs.

6.  Demonstrate by plan and section drawings that all proposed structures can be built without the construction process impacting upon the retained trees or required tree protection zones. Specifically provide sections to demonstrate how levels are to conform with the need for no excavation local to tree T8 and marry with the existing driveway.

7.  Demonstrate that all site works, mixing areas, storage compounds, site buildings and associated contractor parking areas remain wholly outside any tree protection zones and at a suitable separation to prevent damage to retained trees.

8.  Provide details of the car port construction, sufficient to demonstrate that foundation pads can be placed, will be fit for purpose and that it will be constructed without adverse impact to the retained tree T8 and that its design incorporates features to facilitate easy maintenance in relation to tree related debris.

9.  Provide a schedule of all tree felling, tree surgery and tree planting proposed, including confirmation of phasing of such work.

10.  All work shall be undertaken in accordance with the requirements, specifications and timing detailed within the approved method statement.

Reason:  To prevent the loss during development of trees and natural features and to ensure, so far as is practical, that development progresses in accordance with current Arboriculture best practice, in accordance with Policy E2 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016.

 

4.

No development on the Summerhouse hereby approved shall take place (including site clearance and any other preparatory works) until a scheme for the protection of trees to be retained has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such a scheme shall include a plan showing the location and specification of tree protective barriers and/or ground protection measures and will confirm timing of erection and dismantling of such tree protective barriers and/or ground protection.  Such tree protection measures shall be installed prior to any site operations in relation to the Summerhouse and be carried out in accordance with the agreed details.

Reason:  To ensure the enhancement of the development by the retention of existing trees and natural features during the construction phase in accordance with Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan policy E2 (2016).

 

5.

Tree protective measures installed in relation to the construction of the Summerhouse (in accordance with the tree protection condition) shall be maintained and retained for the full duration of works or until such time as agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. No activities, excavation for drainage or service installations or other equipment what-so-ever shall take place within the protected areas.

Reason:  To ensure the avoidance of damage to existing trees and natural features during the construction phase in accordance with Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan policy E2.

 

Notes to applicant:

 

1.

In reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on solutions. TVBC work with applicants and their agents in a positive and proactive manner offering a pre-application advice service and updating applicants/agents of issues that may arise in dealing with the application and where possible suggesting solutions.

 

2.

Various trees standing adjacent to this site are protected by virtue of Tree Preservation Order TPO.810. Damage to the trees is an offence under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Failure to comply with the tree protection conditions above is likely to result in damage to the trees. Tree damage may lead to the prosecution of those undertaking the work and those causing or permitting the work.
