Additional Conditions

 

31 Age restriction

 

Occupation of the development shall be limited to persons of over 60 years old or where there are two or more persons resident, then at least one person shall be over 60 and the remaining occupants shall be at least 55 years old.

 

REASON:

The Council has had regard to the special circumstances of this residential development in terms of car parking arrangements, amenity space and housing mix as set out in adopted policy CS16 of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy Development Plan Document (January 2010) and is prepared to grant permission on a restricted basis only.

 

32 Highway Construction

 

No development shall take place until details of the means of construction for the part of the building adjoining the public highway in Cobden Avenue, including measures for maintaining the stability of the highway, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The construction shall be undertaken in accordance with these approved details unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority

 

REASON:

In the interests of highway safety.

 

REASONS FOR DECISION

 

The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below. Other material considerations have been considered, including the scale and form of the proposal, the traffic and parking considerations, safety and security issues associated with the proposed riverside walkway and are not judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application, and where applicable conditions have been applied in order to satisfy these matters. The scheme is therefore judged to be in accordance with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and thus planning permission should therefore be granted.
