|
| The approved Biodiversity Gain Plan required by paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 shall be implemented in accordance with the details and timescale agreed within the plan and maintained thereafter.
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development delivers a biodiversity net gain in accordance with Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and policy SWDP 22 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016. |

Reason: To ensure that the development reduces carbon emissions and implements sustainable energy solutions in accordance with Policy SWDP 27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 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, 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.
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 in accordance with Policy SWDP 31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and Chapter 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 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) A Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the Local Planning Authority, and
(b) The Local 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:
(a) Information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effects of the development on the biodiversity of the on-site habitat or any other habitat;
(b) The pre-development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat;
(c) The post-development biodiversity value of the on-site habitat.

| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
