a) The proposed dwelling when completed shall be occupied as the place of residence of
the applicant, members of the applicant's immediate family or their heirs and shall
remain so occupied for a minimum period of 7 years thereafter [unless consent is
granted by the Planning Authority for its occupation by other persons who belong to
the same category of housing need as the applicant].

above ground level to an object height of between 1.05m and 2m above ground level
in both directions. The visibility splays shall be retained and kept clear from
obstructions thereafter.

in order to achieve the required visibility splays, they shall be reinstated behind the
visibility splays. Any new trees or shrubs shall be planted back from the visibility splays
to allow for future growth and some species will require additional set back. All
existing planting shall be kept trimmed behind visibility splays.
c) Where the existing roadside hedge/embankment is to be removed, the roadside verge
shall be widened (by grading back or infilling where necessary using appropriate inert
