No.Condition Text
1.The development must be begun not later than the 18th August 2026, being three years from the date the grant of planning permission for 06/23/0398/F. The reason for the condition is:- The time limit condition is imposed in order to comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2.The development shall be carried out in accordance with the following plan approved as part of planning permission 06/23/0398/F: ยท Site Location Plan (un-numbered) - Received 23-MAY-2023 and the development shall be carried out in accordance with the revised plans received by the Local Planning Authority on the 15th July 2024: - Floor Plan; drawing reference: 02 - Proposed Elevations; drawing reference: 03 The reason for the condition is:- For the avoidance of doubt, to ensure that the development is carried out only as approved by the Local Planning Authority and comply with Government guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
3.Prior to the first use of extended building hereby approved, full details of the preferred biodiversity enhancement measures shall have first been submitted to, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall include: a) a site plan/block plan showing the proposed locations of the measures to be installed b) full details of the measures proposed; and c) and implementation plan and timetable for the installation or commencement of the agreed measures. The agreed biodiversity enhancement measures shall thereafter be carried out in strict accordance with the approved implementation plan and timetable, and the biodiversity enhancement measures shall be retained as such in perpetuity. The reason for the condition is:- To provide biodiversity enhancements on site in accordance with the aims of Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS11.
4.INFORMATIVE: In accordance with the biodiversity condition, appropriate ecological/biodiversity enhancement measures shall include but shall not be limited to: - bird/owl/bat boxes. - biodiversity enhancing planting and landscaping including trees, hedges and native species, wildflower planting and nectar rich planting for bees and night scented flowers for bats - measures to enhance opportunities for invertebrates including bug hotels/log piles, stone walls including a programme of implementation and maintenance - holes in fences and boundary treatment to allow species such as hedgehog to move across the site - bee bricks - tree planting Locating your nestbox: Whether fixed to a tree or a wall, the height above ground is not critical to most species of bird as long as the box is clear of inquisitive humans and prowling cats. If there is no natural shelter, it is best to mount a box facing somewhere between south-east and north to avoid strong direct sunlight and the heaviest rain. The box should be tilted slightly forwards so that the roof may deflect the rain from the entrance. You can use nails to attach the box directly to a tree trunk or branch; or you can use rope or wire wrapped right around the box and trunk (remembering to protect the trunk from the wire cutting into it by using a piece of rubber underneath it). Both methods are satisfactory, but annual maintenance is easier if the box is wired and can be taken down easily for cleaning. The number of nestboxes which can be placed in a garden depends on the species you wish to attract. Many species are fiercely territorial, such as blue tits, and will not tolerate another pair close by; about 2 to 3 pairs per acre is the normal density for blue tits. Other species, such as the tree sparrow, which is a colonial nester, will happily nest side-by-side. Do not place your nestbox close to a birdtable or feeding area, as the regular comings and goings of other birds are likely to prevent breeding in the box. Locating your bat box: Bat boxes should be positioned at least 3 metres above the ground (5 metres for noctules) in a position that receives some direct sun for part of the day, with a clear flight path to the box, but preferably also with some tree cover nearby as protection from the wind. In the roof eaves, on a wall or fixed to a tree are all suitable sites.
5.INFORMATIVE: The applicant is reminded that, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended (section 1), it is an offence to remove, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while the nest is in use or being built. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this act. Trees, scrub, rank vegetation and the shed on the application site are to be assumed to contain nesting birds between the 1st March and 31st August inclusive, unless a recent survey has been undertaken by a competent ecologist to assess the nesting bird activity on site during this period and has shown it is absolutely certain that nesting birds are not present.
6.INFORMATIVE: A Public Right of Way, known as 'Belton FP10' is aligned coincident with Marsh Lane, along the full length. The full legal extent of this footpath must remain open and accessible for the duration of the development and subsequent occupation.
7.INFORMATIVE: If the surface of Marsh Lane deteriorates during and after the construction of these Scout Group proposals then the applicant is advised to liaise with the landowner to make improvements to this access road.
8.INFORMATIVE: The enclosed approval is issued under the Town & Country Planning Act 1990. You may also require Building Regulation approval which is dealt with by the Councils Building Control Section. You must ensure that all necessary permissions are obtained BEFORE starting work, otherwise abortive expense may be incurred. This includes any work involving the asbestos mentioned in the plans.
9.REASON FOR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION: The proposal meets the criteria for extension to community facilities set out in adopted Polices CS9, C1 and A1 of the Core Strategy/Local Plan Part 2.
10.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner.
