1.The development must be begun not later than three years beginning with the date of this permission. 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 original plan 1575/2 received 31.3.21 and the revised plans 1575/1 revision A and the un-referenced plan confirming the internal layout of the existing house originally received by the Local Planning Authority on 28.6.21 (with a further copy added to the application on 18.8.21 to show the title block). The reason for the condition is :- For the avoidance of doubt.
3.No work above foundation level shall commence until the exact types and colours of the materials have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out using the agreed materials. The reason for the condition is :- In the interests of the visual amenities of the area as precise details of the materials have not been submitted.
4.Prior to the commencement of the development, a Phase 1 contamination report shall be carried out to assess whether the land is likely to be contaminated. The report shall also include details of known previous uses and possible contamination arising from those uses. If contamination is suspected to exist, a Phase 2 site investigation shall also be carried out. The details of Phase 1, and if necessary Phase 2, reports, assessment and mitigation shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to any occupation of any dwelling hereby permitted. If the Phase 2 site investigation determines that the ground contains contaminants at unacceptable levels then the applicant is to submit to the Local Planning Authority a written strategy detailing how the site is to be remediated to a standard suitable for its proposed end-use. No buildings hereby permitted shall be occupied until the remediation works agreed within the scheme have first been carried out to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.
5.In the event that contamination that was not previously identified is found at any time when carrying out the approved development, it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. All development shall cease and shall not recommence until: 1) a report has been submitted and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority which includes results of an investigation and risk assessment together with proposed remediation scheme to deal with the risk identified; and, 2) the agreed remediation scheme has been carried out and a validation report demonstrating its effectiveness has been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.
6.The following Construction Method Statement shall be adhered to during construction works: No piles of loose sand or other granular materials into which [amphibians] could bury themselves should be left around the site. All such materials should be delivered in bags and kept on pallets or hard-standing until required for use; Should any waste be generated from the development, this should be placed straight into skips or rubble sacks, or immediately removed and not left lying around the site; No bonfires should be made or lit on site. [Amphibians] often use piles of timber as a place of refuge; All trenches should be left covered at night. They must be checked in the morning before they are filled in. The development footprint and any working area should cleared by hand and then maintained as bare soil until construction commences. In addition, if any protected species are identified at any stage during the development, work should immediately cease and a suitably qualified ecologist contacted for further advice. The reason for the condition is:- In the absence of a PEA survey, given the unlikelihood of protected species presence, this represents a light touch approach to achieving protection of ecological assets.
7.No works above slab level shall commence until details of no less than 2no. bird boxes per new bungalow and 2 swift boxes on the new house and the position of hedgehog gaps in fences have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Prior to the first occupation of the dwellings, the development shall be carried out in accordance with these details and the bird boxes shall remain in perpetuity. The reason for the condition is :- To secure biodiversity enhancements in line with the NPPF.
8.Notwithstanding the submitted details unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority the proposed private drive shall be maintained in perpetuity at a minimum width of 4.8 metres for a minimum length of 10 metres into the site as measured from the near edge of the highway carriageway. The reason for the condition is: - In the interests of highway safety and traffic movement.
9.Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted the vehicular access indicated for improvement on Drawing 1575/1 Revision A shall be widened in accordance with the approved plan to the Norfolk County Council residential access construction specification for the first 5.0 metres as measured back from the near channel edge of the adjacent carriageway. Arrangement shall be made for surface water drainage to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge from or onto the highway carriageway. The reason for the condition is: - To ensure construction of a satisfactory access and to avoid carriage of extraneous material or surface water from or onto the highway interests of highway safety and traffic movements.
10.Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted visibility splays shall be provided in full accordance with the details indicated on the approved plan drawing 1575/1 Revision A. The splay(s) shall thereafter be maintained at all times free from any obstruction exceeding 0.225 metres above the level of the adjacent highway carriageway. The reason for the condition is: - In the interests of highway safety in accordance with the principles of the NPPF.
11.Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted the proposed access, on-site car parking and turning area shall be laid out, demarcated, levelled, surfaced and drained in accordance with the approved plan and retained thereafter available for that specific use. The reason for the condition is: - To ensure the permanent availability of the parking/manoeuvring areas, in the interests of satisfactory development and highway safety.
12.The existing trees on the north boundary of the site and the tree (T1) subject to a Tree Preservation Order at the south-west corner of the site shall not be felled or damaged in any way. The reason for the condition is:- The existing trees represent an important visual amenity which the Local Planning Authority consider should be substantially maintained.
13.Construction work shall not take place outside the following hours:- 08:00 to 18:00 Mondays 08:00 to 18:00 Tuesdays 08:00 to 18:00 Wednesdays 08:00 to 18:00 Thursdays 08:00 to 18:00 Fridays 08:30 to 13:30 Saturdays and no work shall take place on Sundays or Bank Holidays.

14.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- 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 defense against prosecution under this act. While trees and scrub are likely to contain nesting birds between 1st March and 31st August inclusive buildings can also support nesting birds. If works occur during the nesting period a careful check of the building by a competent ecologist should be undertaken to assess the nesting bird activity on the site during this period and has shown it is absolutely certain that nesting birds are not present. The granting of planning permission does not absolve the applicant/developer/successors in title from complying with legislation protecting species and habitats. The legislation in the United Kingdom provides for the protection of certain species of wild [plants, birds and animals including bats, great crested newts, otters and reptiles]. The degree of protection could be partial (for example: prohibiting trade, closed seasons) or full, in which case the disturbance, killing or injuring of just one of the species could constitute an offence. Their associated breeding and sheltering places are also protected. Occasionally protected species, such as great crested newts, can be found during the course of development even when the site appears unlikely to support them. In the event that this occurs, it is advised that the developer stops work immediately and seeks the advice of a suitability qualified ecological consultant.
15.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- It is the applicant's responsibility to establish the legal highway boundary. Private structures such as walls and fences will not be permitted on highway land. Deed plans often differ from the County Highways record. Call Highways.boundaries@norfolk.gov.uk
16.This development involves works within the public highway that can only be carried out by Norfolk County Council as Highway Authority unless otherwise agreed in writing. It is an OFFENCE to carry out any works within the Public Highway, which includes a Public Right of Way, without the permission of the Highway Authority. Please note that it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that, in addition to planning permission, any necessary consents or approvals under the Highways Act 1980 and the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 are also obtained from the County Council. Advice on this matter can be obtained from the County Council's Highway Design and Development Group. Please contact Stuart French on 01603 638070. If required, street furniture will need to be repositioned at the applicant's expense. Public Utility apparatus may be affected by this proposal. Contact the appropriate utility service to reach agreement on any necessary alterations, which have to be carried out at the expense of the developer.
17.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. It is confirmed that this shadow HRA submitted by the applicant has been assessed as being suitable for the Borough Council as competent authority to use as the HRA record for the determination of the planning application, in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. In this instance the Borough Council has considered there is no likely significant effect on protected habitats arising solely from the development itself; and the development would contribute to the overall in-combination significant adverse effect identified by the Habitats Regulations Assessment Report for the Local Plan Core Strategy, but this effect can be adequately mitigated by the Habitats Monitoring and Mitigation Strategy; and that Strategy requires a payment of £110 per each additional dwelling towards the monitoring and mitigation provided through that Strategy.
