North Park Farm, Whitworth Road, Darley Dale, Derbyshire, DE4 2HJ — Derbyshire Dales District Council — terms. Appeal Decision APP/P1045/W/25/3364495 Reasons 5. I am satisfied that space shown on drawing H.25.11 for the storage of plant and materials, site accommodation, loading, unloading and manoeuvring of goods vehicles, parking and manoeuvring of employee and visitor vehicles would be proportionate to the notable constraints that the site presents in achieving this. It would allow for materials and equipment to be brought onto the site and to be stored on it, and for contractor’s vehicles to be parked upon it. 6. This would achieve the aim of the condition, which is stated on the decision notice as being imposed in the interests of highway safety. It would also ensure that the proposed development would accord with Policy HC19 of the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan 2017, where it seeks to ensure that development can be safely accessed. Other Matters 7. In their submissions, the Council refer to condition 4 and to its relationship to condition 3. However, condition 4 relates to visibility splays and its trigger for implementation is prior to occupation or use of the approved dwelling. It does not therefore have any implication in terms of whether condition 3 can be discharged at this point. 8.

North Park Farm, Whitworth Road, Darley Dale, Derbyshire, DE4 2HJ — Derbyshire Dales District Council — terms. Matters relating to whether there has been a breach of planning control at the site are not relevant to my consideration of this appeal. The wording of condition 3 does not expressly require that details of ground levels be provided and no levels of the storage and manoeuvring areas are shown on the plan. My approval of this condition does not therefore grant approval of any ground levels. However, the current ground levels on the site allow for a level access from Whitworth Road and a relatively level plateau for access, storage and parking. 9. In conjunction with the plan submitted for the condition discharge, this adequately demonstrates that the aims of condition 3 would be met during construction. The appellant confirms in their submissions that once the dwelling is constructed, they will ensure that the finished site levels accord with the approved drawings. Conclusion 10. For the reasons given above, the appeal should be allowed.
