• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

The details must include the depth of soil, species of tree and hedging and the replacement tree when planted, must be as large as is possible to ensure its survival given the area available for the tree to grow.
