Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority in accordance with condition 2.
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.
7) Prior to the commencement of development approved by this planning permission(or such other date or stage in development as may be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority), the following components of a scheme to deal with the risks associated with contamination of the site shall each be submitted to and approved, inwriting, by the local planning authority
:i) A preliminary risk assessment which has identified:
all previous uses
potential contaminants associated with those uses
a conceptual model of the site indicating sources, pathways and receptors
potentially unacceptable risks arising from contamination at the site.
ii) A site investigation scheme, based on (i) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site. This should include an assessment of the potential risks to: human health, property(existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, pests, woodland and service lines and pipes, adjoining land, ground waters and surface waters, ecological systems, archaeological sites and ancient monuments.

The protective fencing shall then remain securely in position throughout the entire course of the construction phase of the development, and its position shall only be changed in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 6.2, prior to the commencement of the "no-dig" construction of the driveway turning head.
REASON: To safeguard the retained trees marked as T1 (English Oak), and T2 (Ash) from damage that may be incurred from development activity, so as to maintain tree health, anchorage and amenity value.
11) Following completion of the main construction phase, the tree protection barriers shall be adjusted to enable the commencement of the "no-dig" driveway turning head construction works, to be undertaken in full compliance with the working methodology as outlined in Section 6.2, and as shown in Figure 2 and Appendix 3 "Tree Constraints and Protection Plan" of the "Tree Survey Report - Pre Development" (Revised September 2021) as prepared by RGS Arboricultural Consultants.
REASON: To ensure that the English Oak tree T1 is protected from root damage that would otherwise be incurred if using traditional driveway construction techniques, by adopting a "no-dig" form of construction, using a cellular confinement system, in strict accordance with the recommended methodology
