Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/20/01216/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended.
2) No development above slab level shall take place until details of the external materials to be used have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development shall proceed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory external appearance.
3) No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological investigation (WSI); that includes provision for fieldwork followed by post excavation analysis and publication, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development hereby approved shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme and this condition will only be fully discharged when the post-excavation analysis and reporting is complete, and the future of the site archive is secured
Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure appropriate archaeological investigation in advance of development would be contrary to paragraph 199 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) that requires developers to record and advance of understanding of the significance of any heritage assets affected by development before they are lost (wholly or in part).
4) No development above slab level until a scheme for protecting proposed dwellings from noise from the railway line and noise from the relief road has been submitted and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Any works which form part of the scheme approved by the local planning authority shall be completed before any permitted dwelling is occupied, unless an alternative period is approved in writing by the Authority. The scheme shall include details of noise barriers, building insulation, window glazing and alternative ventilation strategy for the proposed dwellings. The scheme shall ensure that internal noise levels from all noise sources shall not exceed 35 dBLAeq,07:00-23:00 in any habitable room or 30 dB LAeq,23:00-07:00, and 42 dB LAFmax23:00-07:00, inside any bedroom and that noise levels in any external amenity area shall not exceed 55 dB LAeq,1hr, within the first 5m from the building façade to which the amenity area relates.
Reason To protect the amenity of future residents of the proposed dwellings.
5) No development approved by this permission shall take place until the following has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority:
a) A Phase 1 Desk Study report prepared by a suitably qualified person adhering to BS 10175 and CLR 11 documenting the ground and material conditions of the site with regard to potential contamination.
b) No occupation of any permitted building shall take place until the following has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority: Where shown to be necessary by the Phase 1 Desk Study, a Phase 2 Site Investigation adhering to BS 10175 and CLR 11, incorporating all appropriate sampling, prepared by a suitably qualified person. Where shown to be necessary by the Phase 2 Site Investigation a detailed Phase 3 Remediation Scheme (RS) prepared by a suitably qualified person, with measures to be taken to mitigate any risks to human health, groundwater and the wider environment, along with a Phase 4 validation report prepared by a suitably qualified person to confirm the effectiveness of the RS. Any such remediation/validation should include responses to any unexpected contamination discovered during works.
Reason: To protect human health and the environment in accordance with Policy DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document (2009).
6) Prior to the commencement of development, a scheme for the provision and implementation of foul water drainage shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be constructed and completed in accordance with the approved plans prior to the occupation of any part of the development or in accordance with the implementation programme agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority for approval.

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory method of foul water drainage. A pre-commencement condition is necessary in order to ensure that potential harm is minimized before development reaches an advanced stage.
7) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC), and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Maintenance will ensure the system functions as designed for the lifetime of the development. Any variation to the connections and controls indicated on the approved drawing which may be necessary at the time of construction would require the resubmission of those details to the Local Planning Authority for approval.
Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with para 163 and 165 of the NPPF and its supporting technical guidance.
8) No development above slab level shall take place in connection with the development hereby approved until full details of: Hard landscape and soft landscape works, to include but not be limited to,
