Planning conditions:
SURFACING OF DRIVEWAY/PARKING AREAS
Before the development hereby permitted is occupied, the driveway and parking area shall either be (a) constructed using a permeable construction or (b) hard paved for a distance of not less than 1m from the edge of the public highway and drained to a private soakaway; and shall thereafter be maintained to ensure satisfactory access to the adjoining highway, in accordance with the approved plans.

Reason:
To ensure that no private surface water or loose material is deposited onto the adjoining highway in the interests of highway safety in accordance with Policy DEV29 of the Plymouth and South West Devon JLP 2019.

INFORMATIVE: MAXIMUM VEHICLE CROSSING WIDTH
Notwithstanding the approved plan, the maximum vehicle crossing width permissible at this location would be 2.7 metres.

INFORMATIVE: KERB LOWERING
Before the access hereby approved is first brought into use it will be necessary to secure dropped kerbs and footway crossings with the consent of the Local Highway Authority. The applicant should contact Plymouth Highways for the necessary approval. Precise details of all works within the public highway must be agreed with the Highway Authority.




The proposed development has been considered in accordance with the Councils current Development Plan Policies and having regard for the National Planning Policy Framework.
