Reason To ensure that the materials used in the construction of the development harmonise with its surroundings.

Informative Notes:
1 )The Council has granted permission because:

The proposal for residential redevelopment is acceptable in principle. The form and density of development is similar to that adjacent and would not harm the character of the area or the amenity of neighbouring properties. Access and parking arrangements are satisfactory and important trees are adequately protected. As such, the proposal accords with policies GS2, GS4, C6, HE1, H3, H4, H5, T12 and R3 of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review.

It is therefore considered that subject to compliance with the attached conditions and taking into account all other material planning considerations, including the provisions of the development plan, the proposal would be acceptable. This also includes a consideration of whether the decision to grant permission is compatible with the Human Rights Act 1998.
2 )The applicant is advised that there is a fee for the discharge of conditions relating to this application. A single fee will apply to each batch of conditions submitted for discharge at the same time. The information to discharge a condition will not be accepted by the Council without the appropriate fee. The schedule of fees can be found on the Council's website.
3 )The calculation of predicted energy requirement for the development should include space heating, hot water heating, cooking, and lighting, cold and hot appliances and wet appliances. Other energy consumption associated with the development such as street lighting and utilities must also be included.

In some cases, where proven low carbon fuel is used to provide energy for the above, calculations can include the renewable energy contribution (kWh/yr) based on CO2 savings (kg CO2 /yr)

To calculate the predicted CO2 emissions from each dwelling, SAP 2005 is a suitable method to be adopted, and one which is used by the Building Regulations, it also provides a good level of design flexibility.
The predicted energy consumption using SAP methodology must be increased by about 9% to allow for hot appliances, cold appliances and wet appliances and cooking, which are not considered by SAP 2005. It is recommended that an Authorised SAP Assessor is used to prepare the calculations but this is not necessary in every case.

For further practical information regarding the 10% renewable rule, see the Energy Saving trust guidance booklet (CE190) www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/uploads/documents/housingbuildings/CE190%20-%2010%20per%20cent%20guide.pdf

You may contact us if you have any queries regarding the calculation methods, we can also offer a competitive calculation service from within this council by qualified energy assessors if you are having difficulty meeting this requirement.
4 )No development/construction/demolition or other works noise should be audible beyond the site boundary outside the hours of;
Monday to Friday 07:30 18:00Saturday 08:00 13:00No working on Sundays or Bank HolidaysPlease note that, should you fail to comply with this, the Council may take legal action under the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

Noise created, even during the standard working hours mentioned above, may still create a statutory noise nuisance. Please ensure noise is kept to a minimum wherever possible, particularly with respect to the use of radios on site, early morning deliveries etc.

Please note that, should a statutory noise nuisance be created, the Council may be legally obliged to serve an abatement notice on you under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
5 )No lighting used during the demolition/construction of the development shall be allowed to cast light beyond the site boundary at any time.
