(1)             Additional Conditions:

3.         None of the dwellings shall be occupied until the area shown on the submitted layout as vehicle parking space (including the car ports) to serve a particular dwelling has been provided, surfaced and drained.  Thereafter it shall be kept available for such use and no permanent development (including the erection of garages), whether or not permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any order amending, revoking or re-enacting that Order) shall be carried out on the land so shown or in such a position as to preclude vehicular access to this reserved parking space.

Reason:  Development without provision of adequate accommodation for the parking of vehicles is likely to lead to hazardous on-street parking.

Reason:  In order to ensure that an appropriate amount of renewable technology is incorporated into the development and that the solar PV panels are installed in a timely fashion in compliance with the Borough Council’s Climate Change Strategy.
