					  PLANNING NOTES

 1	Consent has been granted subject to conditions. It is the developer's responsibility to ensure that they have read and understood the requirements of the conditions, and that they comply with the conditions when carrying out the development. If you are unclear about what is required, please contact the case officer for further advice.
	
	In some cases conditions require further details to be submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority. You will need to make a formal application to the Council for approval of these details, and you need to allow up to 8 weeks (following receipt of a valid application) for the Council to make a decision on the acceptability of the details. This is particularly important where a condition requires further details to be approved before any work commences as any work carried out before those details have been approved would be unauthorized and at risk of planning enforcement action.
	
	The conditions application fee is £28 in respect of householder development, and £97 per in any other case.  The fee is payable each time a conditions application is made. You can include multiple conditions in one application, and this can be more cost and time effective than submitting details for each condition separately.
	
	Guidance on making an application is available online on the Council's website by going to http://www.cherwell.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=8983

 2	The applicant is advised that all works to which this permission relates must be carried out strictly in accordance with the plans, drawings and other relevant supporting material submitted as part of this application and hereby approved. The Planning Department must be immediately advised of any proposed variation from the approved documents and the prior approval of this Council obtained before any works are carried out on the site. This may require the submission of a further application. Failure to comply with this advice may render those responsible liable  to enforcement proceedings which may involve alterations and/or demolition of any unauthorised building or structures and may also subsequently lead to prosecution.

 3	Your attention is drawn to the need to have regard to the requirements of UK and European legislation relating to the protection of certain wild plants and animals.  Approval under that legislation will be required and a licence may be necessary if protected species or habitats are affected by the development.  If protected species are discovered you must be aware that to proceed with the development without seeking advice from Natural England could result in prosecution.  For further information or to obtain approval contact Natural England on 0300 060 2501.

STATEMENT OF ENGAGEMENT

In accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and paragraphs 186 and 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework (March 2012), the Council has worked positively and proactively to determine this application within the agreed timescales, having worked with the applicant/agent where necessary and possible within the scope of the application (as set on in the case officer’s report) to resolve any concerns that have arisen, in the interests of achieving more appropriate and sustainable development proposals. Consent has been granted accordingly.

The case officer’s report and recommendation in respect of this application provides a detailed assessment of the merits of the application when considered against current planning policy and guidance, including consideration of the issues raised by the comments received from consultees and members of the public.

NOTES TO THE APPLICANT
TIME LIMITS FOR APPLICATIONS 

By virtue of Sections 91-96 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, planning permissions are subject to time limits.  If a condition imposing a time limit has been expressly included as part of the permission, then that condition must be observed. Otherwise, one or other of the following time limits will apply:

Where planning permission is given in outline subject to a condition reserving certain matters for subsequent approval, application for approval of such matters reserved must be made not later than the expiration of 3 years beginning with the date of the outline planning permission and further the development to which the permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of 2 years from the final approval of the reserved matters or, in the case of approval on different dates, the final approval of the last reserved matters to be approved.

Where the planning permission is complete and is not in outline, the development must be begun not later than the expiration of 3 years from the date on which permission was granted.
OTHER NECESSARY CONSENTS
This document only conveys permission or approval for the proposed development under Part III of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and you must also comply with all the bye-laws, regulations and statutory provisions in force in the District and secure such other approvals and permissions as may be necessary under other parts of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 or other legislation.
In particular you are reminded of the following matters:
•	The need in appropriate cases to obtain approval under the Building Regulations. The Building Regulations may be applicable to this proposal.  You are therefore advised to contact the District Council’s Building Control Manager before starting work on site.
•	The need to obtain an appropriate Order if the proposal involves the stopping up or diversion of a public footpath.
•	Data supplied by the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) and the British Geological Survey (BGS) suggests that the site of this application falls within an area which is potentially at risk from radon. This may require protective measures in order to comply with the Building Regulations if your consent relates to a new dwelling or house extension. Further advice on whether protective measures are required under the Building Regulations can be obtained by contacting the Building Control Manager on 0300 003 0200, fax 0300 003 0201 or E-mail at building.control@cherwellandsouthnorthants.gov.uk
•	The need to obtain a separate “Listed Building Consent” for the demolition, alteration or extension of any listed building of architectural or historic interest from the Local Planning Authority.
•	The need to make any appropriate arrangements under the Highways Act in respect of any works within the limits of a public highway.  The address of the Highway Authority is Oxfordshire County Council, Speedwell House, Speedwell Street, Oxford, OX1 1NE.
•	It is the responsibility of the applicant to ascertain whether his/her development affects any public right of way, highway or listed building.
APPEALS TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE
If you are aggrieved by the decision of the Local Planning Authority to refuse to  grant planning permission or grant planning permission subject to conditions, you can appeal to the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 78(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
If you wish to appeal then;
•	For Householder applications you must do so within 12 weeks of the date of the decision  
•	For Minor Commercial applications you must do so within 12 weeks of the date of the decision
•	For all other types of planning applications you must do so within 6 Months of the date of the decision

Unless;
•	The decision on the application relates to the same or substantially the same land and the development is already the subject of an enforcement notice then you must appeal within 28 days of the date of the Local Planning Authority’s decision on the planning application. 
•	If an enforcement notice is served relating to the same or substantially the same land and development as in your application and if you want to appeal the decision, then you must do so within 28 days of the service of the enforcement notice, or 6 months (12 weeks for householder and minor commercial) of the date of this decision which ever is the sooner

Forms can be obtained from the Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6PN. Tel (0303 444 5000. Or online at www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs. The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.
The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that permission or approval for the proposed development could not have been so granted otherwise than subject to the conditions imposed by the Local Planning Authority, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of the development order and to any directions given under the order.
In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the Local Planning Authority based its decision on a direction given by him.
PURCHASE NOTICES
If either the Local Planning Authority or the First Secretary of State grants permission or approval for the development of land subject to conditions, the owner may claim that he/she can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted.
In these circumstances the owner may serve a purchase notice on the District Council.  This notice will require the Council to purchase his/her interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
