The approved scheme shall be implemented before the first dwelling is occupied. Reason To ensure the safe opening and function of the access. Informative(s) 01 Nature conservation protection under UK and EU legislation is irrespective of the planning system and the applicant should therefore ensure that any activity undertaken, regardless of the need for any planning consent, complies with the appropriate wildlife legislation. If any protected species are found on the site then work should halt immediately and an appropriately qualified ecologist should be consulted. For definitive information primary legislative sources should be consulted. 02 The granting of this permission does not override any restriction/requirement set out in any deeds or covenants relating to the site or any right of way that may exist over the site. These are separate matters that need to be resolved accordingly before development can take place. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT During the determination of the application, the Local Planning Authority worked with the applicant to consider what amendments were necessary to make the scheme acceptable. The applicant agreed to amend the scheme so that it was in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
