Informatives:

1)

GTD/Pre-app/At submission Est.G/No amend
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website. A pre-application advice service is also offered. The scheme was submitted in accordance with advice provided through pre-application discussions.

2)

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.

3)

Conditions - Precedent to Commencement
Conditions no(s) 3 and 4 impose requirements which must be met prior to commencement of the development. Failure to observe these requirements could result in the Council taking enforcement action, or may invalidate the planning permission and render the whole of the development unlawful.

4)

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 Place, 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

5)

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 Place.

6)

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 2018 (as amended), and the grant of planning permission does not imply that such approval will be given. The District Surveyor, Town Hall, Hornton Street, W8 7NX should be consulted before works commence.

7)

Tree Preservation Order - Alert
Tree(s) on this site are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, Numbered 22/74 and must not be cut down, lopped or topped without the prior written permission of the Council. Anyone who deliberately destroys a tree or damages it in a manner likely to destroy it could be fined up to o20,000 if convicted in the magistrates' court, and a replacement tree would normally be required to be planted. The Arboriculture team of the Directorate of Planning and Borough Development, Town Hall, Hornton Street W8 7NX (020-7361-2767) will be pleased to advise on any proposed works.

8)

Tree Protection in Conservation Areas
