Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/10/01418/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The development shall begin not later than three years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
2) Before development begins, samples of the materials to be used for the external walls and roofs of all new buildings shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To control the appearance of the building.
(Policy BE8 , S.B.L.P.R).
3) Prior to the commencement of the 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, in writing, by the Local Planning Authority:

1) 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.
2) A site investigation scheme, based on (1) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site.
3) The site investigation results and the detailed risk assessment (2) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken.
4) A verification plan providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in (3) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action.
Any changes to these components require the express consent of the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be implemented as approved.

Reason: The site overlies Principal Aquifer Woburn Sands, highly permeable with soils of high leaching potential. Principal aquifers are geological strata that exhibit high permeability and provide a high level of water storage. They may support water supply and/or river base flow on a strategic scale. A preliminary risk assessment as a minimum (including a desk study, conceptual model and initial assessment of risk) and site investigation if necessary, of the risk to ground and surface water posed by any contamination present and remediation of the site will be necessary prior to commencement of the proposed development.
4) If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until the developer has submitted, and obtained written approval from the Local Planning Authority for, an amendment to the remediation strategy detailing how this unsuspected contamination shall be dealt with.
Reason: To ensure that the development complies with approved details in the interests of protection of the environment and harm to human health.
5) No infiltration of surface water drainage into the ground is permitted other than with the express written consent of the Local Planning Authority, which may be given for those parts of the site where it has been demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to controlled waters.
Reason: To prevent the pollution of controlled waters. The construction of infiltration structures in contaminated land is not allowed. It must be demonstrated satisfactorily that all proposed infiltration structure locations are free from contamination prior to construction of the infiltration structures. In accordance with the Environment Agency Groundwater Protection Policy, direct discharges into groundwater of surface water run-off are not acceptable. Groundwater level data for the site will be required to ensure no direct discharge into groundwater.
6) Development shall not begin until details of the junction of the proposed vehicular access with the highway have been approved by the Local Planning Authority and no building shall be occupied until the junction has been constructed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises.
7) Development shall not begin until details of the proposed public parking area has been approved by the Local Planning Authority and no building shall be occupied until the area has been constructed in accordance with the approved details and adopted by the Local Highway Authority.

Reason: In order to minimise obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway.
8) Before the access is first brought into use a triangular vision splay shall be provided on each side of the new access and shall measure 1.8m along the fence, wall, hedge or other means of definition of the front boundary of the site, and 1.8m measured into the site at right angles to the same line along the side of the new access drive. The vision splays so described and on land under the applicant's control shall be maintained free of any obstruction to visibility exceeding a height of 600mm above the adjoining footway level.

Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it.
9) Visibility splays shall be provided at the junction of the access from the proposed dwelling with the public highway before the development is brought into use. The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.4m measured along the centre line of the proposed access from its junction with the channel of the public highway and 23m measured from the centre line of the proposed access along the line of the channel of the public highway. The required vision splays shall, on land in the applicant's control, be kept free of any obstruction.

Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it.
10) Visibility splays shall be provided at the junction of the access with the public highway before the development is brought into use. The minimum dimensions to provide the required splay lines shall be 2.4m measured along the centre line of the proposed access from its junction with the channel of the public highway and 43m measured from the centre line of the proposed access along the line of the channel of the public highway. The required vision splays shall, on land in the applicant's control, be kept free of any obstruction.

Reason: To provide adequate visibility between the existing highway and the proposed access, and to make the access safe and convenient for the traffic which is likely to use it.
11) The maximum gradient of the vehicular access shall be 10% (1 in 10).

Reason: In the interests of the safety of persons using the access and users of the highway.
12) 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. Arrangements shall be made for surface water from the site to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge into the highway.

Reason: In order to minimise danger, obstruction, and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the premises.
13) Development shall not begin until details of a refuse storage area and collection point have been approved by the Local Planning Authority and no building shall be occupied until the said storage and collection points have been constructed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To ensure the refuse collection bins do not cause a hazard or obstruction to the highway or parking area.
14) Development shall not begin until details of secure cycle storage for residents and cycle parking for visitors have been approved by the Local Planning Authority and no building shall be occupied until the said storage and parking have been constructed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: In order to promote sustainable modes of transport.
15) No development shall commence until a wheel cleaning facility has been provided at all site exits in accordance with a scheme to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The wheel cleaners shall be removed from the site once the roadworks necessary to provide adequate access from the public highway have been completed (apart from final surfacing) to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: In the interests of the amenity and to prevent the deposit of mud or other extraneous material on the highway during the construction period.
16) Development shall not commence until a scheme detailing provision for on site parking for construction workers for the duration of the construction period has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be implemented throughout the construction period.

Reason: To ensure adequate off street parking during construction in the interests of road safety.
17) Before development begins, details of the levels of the approved dwelling shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, and development shall thereafter be implemented accordingly.

Reason: To produce a satisfactory relationship between the various elements of the scheme and adjacent properties.
(Policy BE8 S.B.L.P.R).
18) This permission relates only to the details shown on Drawing Nos 284-02B, CBC/001, 284-03A & 284-04.

Reason: To identify the approved plans and to avoid doubt.
