Priortooccupationofthedevelopment,theaccessatitscentrelineshallbeprovided with a clear to ground visibility splay with dimensions of 2.4 metres by 100 metres to the south, as measured from and along the nearside edge of the carriageway. Such vehicular visibility splays shall be provided before the access is first used by vehicular traffic and retained free of any obstruction at all times. Reason: To provide adequate inter-visibility between vehicles using the access and those in the existing public highway in the interest of highway safety.
   
2. Prior to occupation of the development the vehicular access shall be constructed at right angles to the highway boundary and to the existing carriageway. The width of the access at its junction with the highway shall not be less than 3 metres (4.5 metres maximum), shall be retained at that width for 6 metres within the site and shall be provided with an appropriate dropped kerb vehicular crossing of the footway/highway verge. Reason: To ensure that vehicles can enter and leave the highway in a controlled manner in the interest of highway safety

2. The proposed development shall not be occupied until such time as the vehicle parking area indicated on the approved plans has been provided. The vehicle parking area and associated turning area shall be retained in this form at all times. Reason: To ensure that that appropriate parking and turning is provided.

In addition under Section 161 any person, depositing anything on a highway which results in a user of the highway being injured or endangered is guilty of an offence. Therefore the applicant must ensure that no mud or detritus is taken onto the highway, such measures include provision of wheel cleaning facilities and sweeping/cleaning of the highway.
   
4. Steps should be taken to ensure that the Developer provides sufficient turning and off-loading facilities for delivery and site worker vehicles, within the limits of the site together with an adequate parking area for those employed in developing the site.
