Approval sought for building materials, ecology, and access details at 14 Oxford Street, Lambourn

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

This application does not propose new building work. Instead, it asks the council to approve specific details — such as the materials to be used, plans for wildlife and drainage, and how the access will be surfaced — that were required before the earlier approved scheme at this address could proceed. The site is in Lambourn, close to seven protected old buildings and a short distance from the River Lambourn. The river is one of the rarest types of chalk stream in the world and is a nationally protected wildlife site. The earlier planning permission was for works at 14 Oxford Street. Because this is a condition discharge rather than a new application, the main question for the council is whether the submitted details meet the requirements set out in the original permission.
