Condition Details / Information Notes
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
Reason: To conform with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission/consent, the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans/drawings/documents – [insert all approved plan numbers].
Reason: To define the permission.
Prior to the first use a Water Management Statement shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The agreed details shall be fully implemented and remain thereafter.
Reason: To ensure that an appropriate sustainable drainage system is provided to serve the development in accordance with policy SWDP29.
In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported immediately to the Local Planning Authority. The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation.
No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with:
1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with the Environment Agency's 'Land Contamination: Risk
Management' guidance and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place.
2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.
3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
4. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site.
REASON: To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.
When not used to remove and clear the site...
submission and, once approved, implementation of a landscaping scheme. This should be accompanied by a planting specification, and a schedule of maintenance covering the first three years following planting.
• The Public safety of those using the right of way must be ensured at all times.
• There must be no diminution in the width of the rights of way available for use by the public.
• There must be no change to the surface of a Public Right of Way without written consent from the authority.
• Building materials must not be stored on the rights of way.
• Vehicle movements and parking are to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of the rights of way.
• No additional barriers are to be placed across the rights of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
• The applicant should note that, under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, any person who, without lawful authority, drives a motor vehicle on a public right of way commits an offence. The applicant should make themselves satisfied that they, and anyone else who may use public rights of way for private vehicular access in connection with the development, has a right to do so. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter. The County Council is responsible for maintaining rights of way to a standard suitable for their public use.
Note: A fee is chargeable for the provision of archaeological curatorial services. The service includes advice and liaison throughout the archaeological works, including the provision of a brief (if requested), checking the Written Scheme of Investigation for compliance with local and national standards, monitoring fieldwork and ensuring any archaeological reports generated by the project are acceptable. The Archaeology and Planning Advisor will be happy to offer advice on all stages of the proceedings. Additional site visits will be chargeable at £60 per visit if required if it is considered that breaches of condition have taken place or when other situations arise that require a visit additional to the usual service.
As this scheme is considered to be a small-scale development of less than 1-ha the fee for curatorial services will be £333.66 (Inc VAT).
