Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - MB/07/01483/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development hereby approved shall be commenced within three years of the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which is designed to ensure that a planning permission does not continue in existence indefinitely if the development to which it relates is not carried out.
2) All work should be carried out in accordance with the methodology described in sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the submitted 'Protected Species Survey and Assessment Report'.

A licensed bat ecologist should supervise any works that may impact bats or their roosts, following an assessment to ensure bats are absent. Should bats be thought to be present it is likely that a Defra License application will need to be made to ensure works are legal.
Bat roosting boxes should be incorporated into the design of the building as described in section 7.2.
All contractors should be made aware of the legislation regarding bats and great crested newts and provided with a protocol for stopping work and contacting the applicant's ecologist, should these species be encountered at all during works.
Building materials should be stored on hardstanding ground or pallets to ensure that they are not used as sheltering points by great crested newts which could result in death or injury to this species.
Any ground works such as landscaping or pipe-laying, should be carried out in the absence of great crested newts. A licensed ecologist should supervise any works following an assessment to make sure this species is absent from potential sheltering areas and thus prevent death or injury.

Reason: To safeguard habitat conservation near the development site.
3) The development shall not begin until a scheme for the investigation and assessment to identify the extent and nature of contamination has been provided and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The ground conditions on the site must be subject to a detailed investigation, sampling and analysis of current soils, site assessment and a remediation action plan must be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority, and carried out prior to the commencement of any other works in relation to any development of the site.

The scheme shall conform to Environmental Services 'Pre-application guidance note on the assessment and remediation of land that may be affected by contamination for Environmental Consultants and Developers'. The Local Planning Authority is to be consulted at all key stages in this investigation process and for these purposes, the developer shall submit, in duplicate:

(a) A phase 1 report (desk study), including a historical survey and conceptual model of the site.

(b) A phase 2 report (Exploratory investigation), documenting the ground conditions of the site, incorporating chemical, gas and water analysis as identified as being appropriate by the phase 1 report

(d) A phase 4 report (Validation), demonstrating proof and success of remedial works.

Reason: To safeguard the environmental condition of the area.
4) Before the premises are occupied all on site vehicular areas shall be surfaced in a manner to the Local Planning Authority's approval so as to ensure satisfactory parking of vehicles outside highway limits.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the premises.
5) The development shall not be brought into use until a turning space for vehicles has been constructed within the curtilage of the site in a manner to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
