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 as shown on the approved plans (as set out below) and in accordance with all approved documents.
A(20)001 rev B – Site Location & Proposed Block Plan
A(20)002 rev C – Proposed Floor Plans
Reason
To define the permission and for the avoidance of doubt.
02
The side window to the bedroom of Flat 5 which is closest to the bedroom window of Flat 8, as shown on drawing no. A(20)002 rev C – Proposed Floor Plans, shall be obscurely glazed and fitted with glass to a minimum industry standard of Level 3 obscured glazing and be non-openable, unless the part(s) of the window(s) which can be opened are more than 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which the window is installed. The window(s) shall be permanently retained in that condition thereafter.
Reason
In the interests of the amenities of the occupiers of adjoining properties
03
Prior to the commencement of the development an assessment of all significant noise sources likely to affect the proposed development including noise from the busy town centre, including fixed plant, shall be carried out by a suitably competent person and be submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority for approval.
This assessment also needs to include a scheme for sound insulation to ensure that there will be no adverse impact on the future occupiers of the proposed first floor units from the use of the ground floor retail premises.
The scheme also needs to take account of ventilation of the rooms, and the sound insulation which needs to conform to the requirements of BS8233:2014 and be sufficient to prevent noise disturbance from the above mentioned noise sources.
The following noise criteria, needs to be achieved with windows open:
a) The 16-hour LAeq shall not exceed 35dB between 0700 and 2300 hours when measured inside any noise sensitive rooms in the development.
b) The 8-hour LAeq shall not exceed 30dB between 2300 and 0700 hours when measured inside any bedroom in the development.
c) The 15-minute LAF1 shall not exceed 45 dB between 2300 and 0700hrs when measured inside any bedroom in the development.
The report should include all raw measurement data and any supporting calculations.
The approved mitigation measures shall be implemented prior to the first occupation of each dwelling.
Reason
To safeguard the amenities of the occupiers of the proposed development.
04
Prior to commencement of development a ventilation scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The ventilation scheme shall be carried out in accordance with the Acoustics Ventilation and Overheating Assessment Guide (AVO).
The ventilation scheme shall include the following information:
• Identify which rooms require a ventilation system.
• The acoustic specification of the proposed ventilation system demonstrating that when operated it will not cause indoor noise target levels to be exceeded.
• The ventilation scheme must demonstrate how habitable rooms of the proposed dwellings shall be provided with sufficient ventilation to help control thermal comfort and avoid over heating during hot weather without the need to open windows.
The approved details shall be implemented prior to the first occupation of each dwelling.
Reason
To safeguard the amenities of the occupiers of the proposed development.
05
Prior to the occupation of the first property, a scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority detailing how the use of sustainable/public transport will be encouraged. The agreed details shall be implemented in accordance with a timescale to be agreed by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason
In order to promote sustainable transport choices.
