Restricting planning permission granted by GPDO - Removal of PD Rights No extensions, additions, insertion of windows, or external alterations shall be carried out to the buildings subject to this permission in the absence of an express grant of planning permission for such development.
Reason - Although such extensions, additions, or alterations would, in the absence of this condition, constitute development permitted under the provisions of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) such development is precluded in this case to ensure the character and appearance of the area are preserved and the living conditions of those living near the development suitably protected. NB This withdrawal of permitted development rights does not remove your right to apply to the local planning authority for planning permission for development precluded through this condition, and such an application would be treated on its merits. It would be prudent to use our pre-application Advice Service before submitting such an application.

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)

Conditions - Precedent to Commencement
Conditions 3, 4, 5 and 6 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.

3)

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

4)

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.

5)

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.

6)

Withdrawal of PD Rights
Attention is drawn to condition 17 of this approval, the effect of which is to withdraw permitted development rights in respect of the defined type of development which would, otherwise, not require planning permission. You are advised to seek the advice of this planning authority before undertaking any other development in the future in order to ascertain whether planning permission is required and the likelihood of such permission being granted.

7)

Tree Protection in Conservation Areas
The site lies within a Conservation Area where the topping, lopping, felling or uprooting of most trees cannot be carried out without first giving the Local Planning Authority six weeks notice. Failure to comply with this statutory requirement may result in prosecution.

8)

Construction Management - Highways Act
You are reminded that, if not properly managed, construction works can lead to significant negative impacts on the local environment, reducing residential amenity and the safe function of the highway. No vehicles associated with the building operations on the development site shall be parked on the public highway so as to cause an obstruction. Any such wilful obstruction is an offence under Section 137 of the Highways Act 1980. The Council can prosecute developers and their contractors if work is not managed properly. For advice on how to manage construction works in the Royal Borough please see Advice for Builders on the Council's website; from this page you will also find guidance on what to include in Construction Traffic Management Plans (where these are required) which are very valuable instruments in limiting the impact of large scale building work.

9)

Liability for Subsidence or Damage
The responsibility and any liability for the safe development of the site rests with the developer and/or landowner. Although the Council has used its best endeavours to determine this application on the basis of the information available to it, this does not mean that the land or adjoining land will necessarily remain free from instability. The Council's consideration has been only on the basis of the development proposed, and these considerations may be different in relation to any other development. The question of stability of adjacent land has been a material planning consideration, and the resolution of this issue for the purposes of granting planning permission does not necessarily imply that the requirements of any other controlling authority would be satisfied and, in particular, the granting of planning permission does not give any warranty for support or stability or against damage of adjoining or nearby properties.

10)

Construction Regulations 2007
You are reminded of the need to observe the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 which govern health and safety through all stages of many construction projects. Further information is available from the Health and Safety Executive at Health and Safety Executive - 2007 Construction Regulations

11)

Demolition - Building Act 1984
You are required to give formal notice under Section 80 of the Building Act 1984 to the building control department that you intend to demolish the whole or part of a building. Such work should not commence until 6 weeks have elapsed or you have received a notice under Section 81 from the Council.

12)

Demolition - Control of Pollution Act
Your attention is drawn to the British Standards Code of Practice for Demolition, the Control of Pollution Act 1974, the Environmental Protection Act 1990 relating to nuisances, and BS 5528: Parts 1 and 2, 2009, relating to Noise and Vibration Control on Construction and Open Sites, the observation of which should considerably reduce the risks and nuisance inherent in demolition work (particularly in relation to fire hazards arising from the practice of burning materials on site) both to operatives on site and to the general public. The Council may impose appropriate controls over the construction methods, noise screening, and protection of site, noise, or hours of work and routing of construction traffic. You are advised to consult the Director of Environmental Health, Council Offices, 37 Pembroke Road, W8 6PW at an early stage.

13)

CTMPs - Reminder to be Sensitive
You should engage with neighbours and local residents associations in advance of submitting your final Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) to satisfy Condition 4.ÿÿ You are advised of the following points which should be addressed in the final CTMP: All text is specific and clear with commitment on how the works would be undertaken. Indeterminate language such as 'approximately', 'estimated' and 'likely' etc should be avoided. If exact details are not known then a robust worst case should be adopted; All site set-up plans need to be included within the CTMP or its appendices rather than a separate document. There are four trees in total growing in Lansdowne Rise that could be affected by the works, none of these trees are shown on a drawing within the CTMP, nor is any detail given as to how they will be protected from damage by construction traffic. The method of soil removal is described in the CTMP as via a electric conveyor yet no detail has been offered as to the position of this conveyor. The use of this method usually requires some kind of hoarding or scaffolding over the footpath but you have stated within the CTMP that no scaffolding or hoarding will be placed on the public footpath. This point must be clarified in the final CTMP. You are reminded of the purpose of the CTMP, which is to mitigate impact upon the living conditions enjoyed by residents of neighbouring properties as well as to ensure the safe and unobstructed function of the highways in the vicinity.ÿ You are also reminded of the membership of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, required by condition and which has similar objectives.ÿ Care and sensitivity is required when carrying out development in residential areas.ÿ

14)

Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992
This Permission does not confer on the Applicant the right to build on or over land owned by a third party without the third party's consent, and you should therefore seek the prior agreement of your neighbour(s) before entering their land. A licence may be required to access your neighbour's land, under the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992.

15)

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

16)

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.
