07.Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) or any Order revoking and re-enacting that order with or without modification, the annexe hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the dwellinghouse, known as Acre House, 12 Broom Acres, and shall at no time form a separate dwelling.          

REASON: The creation of a separate unit would not provide sufficient off-road parking to comply with Council parking standards.

The three spaces shall thereafter be kept available for parking at all times.

REASON: To ensure that the development is provided with adequate car parking to prevent the likelihood of on-street car parking which would be a danger to other road users and to reduce surface water run-off contributing to flood risk.

[Relevant Policies: BFBLP M9, CSDPD CS1, CS7 and CS23]

10.Surface runoff water from the new development may not be discharged into the highway or the sewer system.
