The use shall not be commenced, nor the premises occupied, until the area shown on the approved plan as vehicle parking space, loading and off-loading and vehicle turning space has been surfaced and drained. Thereafter the areas shall be kept available for such use and no permanent development, whether or not permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order amending, revoking or re-enacting that Order) shall be carried out on that area of land or in such a position as to preclude its approved use. Reason: Development without provision of adequate accommodation for the parking, loading, off-loading and turning of vehicles is likely to lead to hazardous conditions in the public highway.

No development shall take place until the applicant, or their agents or successors in title, has secured the implementation of a programme of building recording in accordance with a written specification and timetable which has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure that historic building features are properly examined and recorded. 13.

The scheme shall include arrangements for the allotments to be available for use prior to the first occupation of any of the dwellings hereby approved and for them to be retained at all times thereafter.
