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 10 of this permission requires matters to be approved before development works begin; however, in this instance the conditions are justified because: 1. 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. 2. The details required under condition number 10 are fundamental to the acceptability of the development and the nature of the further information required to satisfy these conditions 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 application. Reason In order to comply with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and to comply with the conditions of the outline application RB2022/1076 02 The permission hereby granted shall relate to the area shown outlined in red on the approved site plan and the development shall only take place in accordance with the submitted details and specifications and as shown on the approved plans (as set out below) • Location Plan 712 113 002 - P001 • Proposed General Site Layout 712 113 002 - P003 • GA Plans 712 113 002 - P004 • Street Elevations 712 113 002 - P005 • Large Materials Elevations – Two Storey Block 712 113 002 - P006 • Large Materials Elevations – EYFS Infill Block 712 113 002 - P007 Reason To define the permission and for the avoidance of doubt. 03 The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall be in accordance with the details provided in the submitted design and access statement/shown on the approved drawings.

Reason In order to ensure a satisfactory appearance in the interests of visual amenity and in accordance with Local Plan Policies. 04 Before the development is brought into use, that part of the site to be used by vehicles shall be constructed with either; a/ a permeable surface and associated water retention/collection drainage, or; b/ an impermeable surface with water collected and taken to a separately constructed water retention/discharge system within the site. The area shall thereafter be maintained in a working condition. Reason To ensure that surface water can adequately be drained and to encourage drivers to make use of the parking spaces and to ensure that the use of the land for this purpose will not give rise to the deposit of mud and other extraneous material on the public highway in the interests of the adequate drainage of the site and road safety. 05 Before the development is brought into use the car parking area shown on the approved plan shall be provided, marked out and thereafter maintained for car parking. Reason To ensure the provision of satisfactory garage/parking space and avoid the necessity for the parking of vehicles on the highway in the interests of road safety. 06 Before the development is brought into use, a Landscape scheme, showing location and types of landscape treatment to car park extension area shall be submitted for approval by the Local Planning Authority.
