Informatives:

1)

Enforcement of Conditions (PP)
Your attention is drawn to the Conditions of this Permission and to the Council's powers of enforcement, including the power to serve a Breach of Condition Notice under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended. All Conditions must be complied with. If you wish to seek to amend a Condition you should apply to do so under s.73 of the Act, explaining why you consider it is no longer necessary, or possible, to comply with a particular condition.

2)

Variations to Approved Drawings
Planning permission is hereby granted for the development as shown on the approved drawings. Any variation to the approved scheme may require further permission, and unauthorised variations may lay you open to planning enforcement action. You are advised to seek advice from the Directorate of Planning and Borough Development, before work commences, if you are thinking of introducing any variations to the approved development. Advice should urgently be sought if a problem occurs during approved works, but it is clearly preferable to seek advice at as early a stage as possible. Use the following link to see how advice can be obtained: Planning Advice Service

3)

Care in the Conservation Area
This property is within a Conservation Area. All building works should, therefore, be completed with great care. External facing work and detailed treatment should be finished in a manner sympathetic to the existing building. If there is any doubt about the way in which work should be carried out, you should seek the advice of the Directorate of Planning and Borough Development.

4)

Building Regs - Separate Approval
Separate approval for the works hereby granted permission/consent may be required by the Building Act 1984 and the Building Regulations 2000 (as amended), and the grant of planning permission does not imply that such approval will be given. The Director of Building Control, Town Hall, Hornton Street, W8 7NX should be consulted before works commence.

5)

Party Wall Act 1996
You are reminded of your duties under the Party Wall Act 1996. This requires a building owner to notify and obtain formal agreement from adjoining property freeholders and leaseholders and anyone who has had an interest of 12 months or greater, where the building owner intends to carry out work which involves: Work involving an existing shared wall with another property; Building on the boundary with another property; Excavating near a neighbouring building, and that work falls within the scope of the Act Notice should be served on neighbours at least one month before commencement of building works. Section 12(1) of the Act provides for the developer to provide security for neighbours through insurance or a security bond. Procedures under this Act are separate from the need for planning permission and for building regulations approval. Further guidance is available at: Party Wall Act 1996

Unique text
The CTMP required by condition 5 should address the following issues with the submitted draft CTMP: Q13 - It is unclear how the skip swap from the garden would occur. It appears that a skip vehicle would reverse into the garden from the highway over the footway. This would block the footway and carriageway and would not be considered acceptable. The method of spoil removal should be clarified. Wait and load, with spoil removed by conveyor over the footway into a waiting muck away vehicle, would be the most appropriate for the site. Q14 - The concrete deliveries should not require the diversion of pedestrians onto the opposite pavement. Appropriate ramping should be used to allow pedestrian passage to remain uninterrupted during concrete pours. Q16 - As above, the footway should not be closed for concrete deliveries and skip swaps. The methodology must be amended to reflect this. Q19 - Dimensions for skip lorries have not been included. All vehicle dimensions must be included. Q20 - Vague language must be avoided. This is the case for the entire document. The response to this question should include a firm commitment that only one vehicle would be on the highway at any one time.
