Conditions / Reason for Refusal: The Development Management Procedure Order 2015 requires that planning authorities provide written reasons in the decision notice for imposing planning conditions that require particular matters to be approved before development can start. Condition number 14 of this permission requires matters to be approved before development works begin; however, in this instance the condition is justified because: i. In the interests of the expedient determination of the application it was considered to be appropriate to reserve certain matters of detail for approval by planning condition rather than unnecessarily extending the application determination process to allow these matters of detail to be addressed pre-determination. ii. The details required under condition number 14 are fundamental to the acceptability of the development and the nature of the further information required to satisfy this condition is such that it would be inappropriate to allow the development to proceed until the necessary approvals have been secured.’ 01 The development hereby approved must be begun not later than two years from the date of this reserved matters permission.
