RESOLVED: That application 24/02214/FP be GRANTED planning permission subject to the reasons and conditions set out in the report of the Development and Conservation Manager, with the removal of Condition 13, the renumbering of the remaining conditions, and the addition of Conditions 20 and 21, as follows:
‘Condition 20
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 as amended no development as set out in Classes B and C of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Order, (or any subsequent Statutory Instrument which revokes, amends and/or replaces those provisions) shall be carried out without first obtaining a specific planning permission from the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: Given the nature of this development, the Local Planning Authority considers that development which would normally be "permitted development" should be retained within planning control in the interests of the character and amenities of the area and to comply with Policy D1 and/or Policy D3 of the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011 to 2031.
Condition 21
Prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted, the approved three pedestrian refuges and two vehicle passing bays shall be fully constructed in accordance with the approved details outlined in the Transport Statement (dated February 2025). Thereafter, the passing bays and pedestrian refuges shall be retained, maintained in a good state of repair, and kept free from obstruction at all times in perpetuity, to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the private road.
Reason: To ensure adequate access for vehicles and pedestrians and to maintain highway safety in accordance with Policy T1 of the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011 to 2031.’
