Resolved

That application 15/00925 be approved, subject to the following conditions:

1          The development to which this permission relates shall be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

2          Except where otherwise stipulated by condition, the development shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the following plans and drawings: 2015-441-20 and ‘Site Layout’.

3          Prior to the commencement of the development, details of tree protection measures to be used (in accordance with BS:5837:2012 and all subsequent amendments) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such measures shall show the means of protecting retained soft landscape features on the existing embankment to the east of the site during construction works. The development shall only be carried out in accordance with the approved tree protection measures. These details are necessary prior to commencement to ensure that the trees are protected before construction work begins.            

4          Prior to first use of the development hereby approved, a landscaping scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme for landscaping the site shall include:-

(a)     details of the proposed tree and shrub planting including their species, number, sizes and positions, together with grass seeded/turfed areas,

(b)     details of the existing trees and hedgerows to be retained as well as those to be felled, including existing and proposed soil levels at the base of each tree/hedgerow and the minimum distance between the base of the tree and the nearest edge of any excavation,

(c)     details of the hard surface areas, including pavements, pedestrian areas, reduced-dig areas, crossing points and steps.

5          All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping shall be carried out in accordance with BS 4428:1989 Code of Practice for general landscape operations (excluding hard surfaces), or the most up to date and current British Standard, in the first planting and seeding seasons following the occupation of the building(s) or on the completion of the development, whichever is the sooner. Any trees, herbaceous planting and shrubs which, within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the current/next planting season with others of similar size and species.

6          The development hereby permitted shall be used only for the storage of hay and/or straw within the purposes of agriculture, as defined in Section 336 (l) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990 and for no other purpose notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 and any of its subsequent amendments.

7          Prior to the commencement of the development a Construction Traffic Management Plan, taking into account the points made in this report, must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The construction works must be carried out in accordance with the details approved in the Construction Traffic Management Plan. Such a Plan is required prior to commencement of development given that it is necessary to assess the impact of construction vehicles that would inevitably result from work commencing on site.

8          Prior to the commencement of the development full details of the surface water drainage measures shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall not be brought into use until the surface water drainage measures have been installed as approved and shall be retained as such thereafter. Such details are required prior to commencement so that the approved drainage measures can be incorporated into the development.
