The approved details shall be retained thereafter.
Reason: To mitigate the impacts of the development within the context of the open countryside in line with policies SWDPR 28, SWDPR 31 and SWDPR 34. |
| Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority development, other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation, must not commence until Parts 1 to 6 have been complied with:
Part 1.
A preliminary risk assessment must be carried out. This study shall take the form of a Phase I desk study and site walkover and shall include the identification of previous site uses, potential contaminants that might reasonably be expected given those uses and any other relevant information. The preliminary risk assessment report shall contain a diagrammatical representation (conceptual model) based on the information above and shall include all potential contaminants, sources and receptors to determine whether a site investigation is required and this should be detailed in a report supplied to the Local Planning Authority. The risk assessment must be approved in writing before any development takes place.
Part 2.
Where an unacceptable risk is identified a scheme for detailed site investigation must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to being undertaken. The scheme must be designed to assess the nature and extent of any contamination and must be led by the findings of the preliminary risk assessment. The investigation and risk assessment scheme must be compiled by competent persons and must be designed in accordance with the Environment Agency’s “Land Contamination: Risk Management” guidance.
Part 3.
Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken and a written report of the findings produced. This report must be approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any development taking place. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and must be conducted in accordance with the Environment Agency’s “Land Contamination: Risk Management” guidance.
Part 4.
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.
Part 5.
The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development, other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Part 6.
Following the completion of the measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a validation 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.
Part 7.
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 in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken and where necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared, these will be subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority. Following the completion of any measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a validation report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings.
Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors. |
| The safety of the public using the rights of way must be ensured at all times.
The granting of planning permission does not authorise developers to obstruct a PROW.
If Public Safety demands a temporary closure, application should be made at least 6 weeks in advance to: the Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at Worcestershire County Council, email prowclosures@worcestershire.gov.uk. Obstructing a PRoW without a formal closure constitutes an offence under the Highways Act 1980.
It is an offence for any person to drive a motor vehicle on a PROW without lawful authority (Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988).
Vehicle movements and parking must be managed to avoid unreasonable interference with the public’s use of PROW.
No additional barriers can be placed across rights of way without written consent from the Highway Authority. This includes gates, stiles, bars, and any other objects.
Where no width is recorded in the Definitive Statement, the full width of the original path is dedicated to the public. For planning and design purposes the minimum width of a bridleway deemed dedicated to public use is;
- 3.0 metres across open ground,
- 4.0 metres when bounded (by a hedge, fence, wall or other constriction) on one side, and
- 6.0 metres when bounded on both sides.
Any change in the surface of the PROW must be approved by the Highway Authority.
The impact of development on a public right of way is a material consideration in the assessment of planning applications; Department of Environment Circular 1/09 (Defra) June 2011, Part 7.
The working copy of the Definitive Map can be found at Public Rights Of Way | Worcestershire County Council. The Definitive Map is a minimum record of public rights of way and does not preclude the possibility that unrecorded public rights may exist, nor that higher rights may exist other than those shown.
The County Council is responsible for maintaining the rights of way to a standard suitable for their usual public use as footpath / bridleway – it is not responsible for maintaining a surface to be suitable for private vehicular use. |
| The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition (“the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless:
- A Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the local planning authority; and
- The planning authority has approved the plan.
Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Biodiversity Gain Plan must include:
- Information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the on-site habitat and any other habitat;
- The pre-development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat;
- The post-development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat.
