Details of the means of closure and reinstatement of the existing access shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of work on the development hereby approved.
Reason - To ensure the safe and free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway.
Details of the surface materials of roads, paths, parking areas and other hard surfaces, shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority before development commences.
