No operations shall be carried out on the site other than between the hours of 0830 to 2000. Reason: To maintain the residential amenity of the surrounding residential development.
If any tree shown to be retained is subsequently wilfully damaged or destroyed, uprooted, felled, lopped or topped or otherwise dies, it shall be replaced by two healthy trees of an appropriate size and species and in such locations as may be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To maintain the visual and environmental quality of the site and surrounding area.
Adequate car parking spaces shall be provided on the site for use by the disabled. Such spaces shall be satisfactorily identified and reserved solely for that purpose. Reason: To ensure the satisfactory provision of this necessary facility.
All the floorspace figures referred to in this consent, including the above conditions, relate to gross floorspace unless specified as sales area. Reason: To avoid ambiguity in the interpretation of this consent.
