Officer report

How conditions would change

Several conditions would be discharged or reworded, while phasing controls would secure the dwelling’s appearance, drainage, sustainability and landscaping as work progressed.

“To that end, therefore, this is the first of several reasons to impose a new condition requiring the applicant to submit a suite of plans setting out the phases by which development will proceed and the appearance and extent of the dwellinghouse at the completion of each phase.”

“Consequently, I have sought and received a phasing plan and per-condition timetable from the applicant. They define the phases of the development and specify the elements of the drainage scheme and the sustainability measures that will be delivered alongside each phase. The conditions can be reworded such that the plan and timetable supply the trigger points, rather than first use of the development.”
