Decision
Planning Permission on 24th July 1996
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
That the development must be begun not later than the expiration of five years beginning with the date of this permission and if this condition is not complied with this permission shall lapse. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. That prior to the commencement of any other development to which this permission relates, all means of access between the land and the highway shall be formed, laid out and constructed strictly in accordance with the specification of the means of access attached hereto, and all ancillary works therein specified shall be undertaken strictly in accordance with the said specification. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and convenience. That the vehicular accesses hereby permitted shall not be used until the existing vehicular access has first been permanently and effectively closed and the public highway verge reinstated; and within twelve months of the commencement of the development a hedge of the same species as the existing roadside hedge shall be planted across the former vehicular access and such hedge shall be so tended as to grow to and remain at a height of not less than 1.5 metres; and any hedge plants or trees which within a period of 5 years from the completion of the development die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species, unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and convenience, to help to assimilate the development into its surroundings and to safeguard the character and appearance of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. That except insofar as may be otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority, all trees, shrubs and hedges on the land shall be retained and protected during the course of the development and for a period of five years following the completion of the development. Any trees, shrubs or plants which within that period die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased, shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species, unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation. Reason: To safeguard the character of the area. That a scheme for the landscaping of the site, including the planting of live boundary hedges, trees and shrubs and the provision of ` boundary fencing shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted. The scheme shall be implemented as approved within 12 months of the commencement of the approved development and thereafter be maintained in accordance with the approved scheme. In the event of any of the trees or shrubs so planted dying or being seriously damaged or destroyed within 5 years of the completion of the development, a new tree or shrub or equivalent number of trees or shrubs, as the case may be, of a species first approved by the Local Planning Authority, be planted and properly maintained in a position or positions first approved by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To help assimilate the development into its surroundings. That no part of the car park shall at any time be used for the reception or storage of materials to be recycled. Reason: The use of the car park for this purpose would result in additional traffic movements using a sub-standard access which would be detrimental to the safety and convenience of users of the highway. That the car park shall not be provided with any form of lighting. Reason: To protect the rural character and amenity of the area which lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
