PLANNING PERMISSION
CORNWALL COUNCIL, being the Local Planning Authority, HEREBY GRANTS CONDITIONAL PERMISSION, subject to the conditions set out on the attached schedule, for the development proposed in the following application received on 1 March 2023 and accompanying plan(s): Description of Development: Demolition of farm building to be replaced by a three bedroom dwelling.
CONDITIONS
1 The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of 3 years from the date of this permission. Reason: In accordance with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).
2 The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the plans listed below under the heading "Plans Referred to in Consideration of this Application". Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
3 Before the dwelling within the development hereby permitted is brought into use the approved access, parking and turning areas for the plot shall be laid out and constructed in accordance with approved drawing no. 223-PL-100 Revision B and the said areas shall not thereafter be obstructed or used for any other purpose. Reason: To ensure adequate parking and turning facilities off the adjoining highway and in accordance with the aims and intentions of Policies 12 and 13 of
the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policies D1 and GA3 of the Feock Neighbourhood Development Plan 2017-2030 and paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021.
4 No development shall beyond construction of the main floor slab of the dwelling until details and specifications of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the house and associated boundary walls, to include the
natural slate for the roofing, the ridge tiles, the external walling boarded cladding, the natural stonework wall facing for the boundary walls and the framing to the windows, doors and glazed screens of the new dwelling hereby permitted have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details and retained as such thereafter. Reason: To protect the character and appearance of this site lying in a visually prominent location on the rural fringe with the countryside, the wider setting to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the general locality in accordance with the aims and intentions of Policies 12 and 23 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policies LS2, H1 and D1 of the Feock Neighbourhood Development Plan 2015-2030 and paragraph 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021.
5 Prior to the first occupation of the dwelling hereby approved the bat box(s)/ bird box(s)/bee brick(s) shall be installed in accordance with the details indicated on drawing no 223-PL-102 Revision C and shall thereafter be retained maintained as
such. Reason: To accord with policy G1-10 of the Climate Emergency Development Plan Document 2023 and policies 1, 2 and 23 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2020- 2030 and paragraphs 8 and 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021.
6 Prior to commencement of the development hereby approved (including demolition and all preparatory works); details of treatment of all parts of the site not covered by buildings shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The site shall be landscaped strictly in accordance with the approved details in the first planting season after completion or first occupation of the development, whichever is the sooner. Details shall include:
- a scaled plan showing all vegetation and Cornish hedges to be retained as well as all new trees, hedges and shrub planting, to include additional top planting along the existing boundary hedge fronting the B3289 to the south.
- proposed hardstanding and boundary treatment
- a schedule detailing size, number and density of all proposed trees/plants
- specifications for operations associated with plant establishment and maintenance that are compliant with best practice
There shall be no excavation or raising or lowering of levels within the prescribed root protection area of retained trees unless agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Any new trees or plants (other than trees) that die, are removed, become severely damaged or diseased within a period of five years from planting will be replaced. Replacement planting shall be in accordance with the approved details (unless the Local Planning Authority gives its written consent to any variation). Reason: To ensure that the development does not have a detrimental impact upon the natural environment in accordance with the aims and intentions of Policies 2 and 23 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies: 2010 - 2030 and
paragraph 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021. A pre-commencement condition is necessary as there is significant potential for spatial conflict between green, grey and blue infrastructure. Construction and engineering operations have the potential to compromise retained trees, damage soil structure and alter drainage and adversely impact upon the establishment of new planting. In order to ensure the successful delivery and establishment of green infrastructure appropriate and commensurate to the approved scheme, it is critical that from the outset all disciplines involved in implementation are aware of approved landscaping and informed of the constraints this poses to site
operations, working areas and both the timing and methods of works. Informative: The preparation and delivery of such a scheme should be informed by the relevant British Standards and current industry best practice.
7 Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (or any order revoking, re-enacting or modifying that Order), no development within Classes A and E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the said Order shall be carried out without an express grant of planning permission, namely:
- The enlargement, improvement or other alteration of the dwellinghouse;
- The provision within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse of any building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such, or the maintenance, improvement or other alteration of such a building or enclosure. Reason: In the interests of the visual amenities of the area and to safeguard adjoining trees and landscape structure, and in accordance with the aims and intentions of Policies 12 and 23 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policies BIO2 and D1 of the Feock Neighbourhood Development Plan 2017-2030 and paragraphs 130 and 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021.
8 No development, other than demolition of any buildings or structures, shall commence until an assessment of the risks posed by any contamination shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. This assessment must be undertaken by a suitably qualified contaminated land practitioner, in accordance with British Standard BS 10175: Investigation of potentially contaminated sites - Code of Practice and the Environment Agency's Land contamination risk management (LCRM), (or equivalent British Standard and Land contamination risk management if replaced), and shall assess any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The assessment shall include:
a) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination;
b) the potential risks to:
o human health;
o property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets,
woodland and service lines and pipes;
o adjoining land;
o ground waters and surface waters;
o ecological systems; and
o archaeological sites and ancient monuments.
Reason: To ensure that the health risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with the aims and intentions of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 with specific reference to paragraphs 174, 183,184 and 185 and Policy 16 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 - 2030, Adopted November 2016. A pre-commencement condition is required in this case because it is essential to establish before any works takes place the nature and extent of any ground contamination in order to safeguard the health of workers taking part in the development of the site and to ensure the appropriate design and subsequent safe occupation of the development.
9 No development shall take place where (following the risk assessment) land affected by contamination is found which poses risks identified as unacceptable in the risk assessment, until a detailed remediation scheme shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall include an appraisal of remediation options, identification of the preferred option(s), the proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, and a description and programme of the works to be undertaken including the verification plan. The remediation scheme shall be sufficiently detailed and thorough to ensure that upon completion the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to its intended use. Reason: To ensure that the health risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with the aims and intentions of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 with specific reference to paragraphs 174, 183, 184 and 185 and Policy 16 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 - 2030, Adopted November 2016. A pre-commencement condition is required in this case because it is essential to establish before any works takes place the nature and extent of any ground contamination in order to safeguard the health of workers taking part in the development of the site and to ensure the appropriate design and subsequent safe occupation of the development.
10 The approved remediation scheme in condition 9 shall be carried out and upon completion a verification report by a suitably qualified contaminated land practitioner that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority before the development [or relevant phase of development] is occupied. Reason: To ensure that the health risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with the aims and intentions of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 with specific reference to paragraphs 174, 183, 184 and 185 and Policy 16 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 - 2030, Adopted November 2016.
11 Any contamination that is found during the course of construction of the approved development that was not previously identified shall be reported in writing immediately to the local planning authority. Development on the part of the site affected shall be suspended and a risk assessment carried out and submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Where unacceptable risks are found remediation and verification schemes shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. These approved schemes shall be carried out before the development [or relevant phase of development] is resumed or continued. Reason: To ensure that the health risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with the aims and intentions of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 with specific reference to paragraphs 174, 183, 184 and 185 and Policy 16 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 - 2030, Adopted November 2016.
