Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004
9. The proposed development shall not be brought into use until the existing
frontage boundaries either side of the vehicular access have been
removed and lowered to provide visibility splays extending from a point
2.4 metres back from the carriageway edge along the access centre line
to a point on the nearside carriageway edge at the edge of the boundary
with the applicants control in each direction. Any new boundary, fence or
other enclosure shall be erected on or behind the splay lines so defined,
with the area in advance maintained permanently clear of obstructions to
visibility at a height not exceeding 0.75 metres above the adjacent
carriageway level.
Reason:
To ensure that adequate visibility is provided and maintained in the
interests of highway safety.
10. The development hereby permitted shall not be commenced until a
scheme for the provision of surface water drainage works and the
disposal of foul sewage has been submitted to and agreed in writing by
the Head of Development Services. All such drainage works shall be
completed in accordance with the details so agreed and maintained as
such thereafter.
Reason:
To prevent the increased risk of flooding by ensuring the provision of a
satisfactory means of surface water disposal and to minimise the risk of
pollution.
11. A strip of land 8 metres wide adjacent to the top of both banks of all
watercourses on the site shall be kept clear of all new buildings and
structures (including gates, fences and walls) unless agreed otherwise in
writing by the Head of Development Services in consultation with the
Environment Agency. Ground levels shall not be raised within this area.
Reason:
To maintain access to the watercourse for maintenance or improvements
and to provide for overland flood flows.
Informatives:

(General Development Procedure) (England) (Amendment) Order 2003,
the following reasons for the Council's decision are summarised below
together with a summary of the Policies and Proposals contained within
the Development Plan which are relevant to this decision:
The proposal complies with the provisions of Policies G1 of the Stroud
District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001)
which seek to ensure proposals do not adversely affect the amenities at
present enjoyed by occupiers of neighbouring dwellings by reason of
overbearing effect or loss of light.
The proposal should be considered against Policy H14 of the Stroud
District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001
which seeks to ensure that developments are of a scale layout and
design compatible with the settlement and would not cause harm to its
character and appearance. The revised layout improves the proposal
