REASON: In order to minimise danger, obstruction, and inconvenience to users of the highway and of the premises.
15) Before the new accesses are first brought into use, any existing access within the frontage of the land to be developed, not incorporated in the accesses hereby approved shall be closed in a manner to the District Planning Authority's written approval.
REASON: In the interest of road safety and to reduce the number of points at which traffic will enter and leave the public highway.
16) No development shall commence until wheel-cleaning facilities have been provided at all site exits in accordance with a scheme submitted to and approved in writing by the District Planning Authority. The approved facilities shall be installed and made operational before development commences and the Site Developer(s) shall ensure that all vehicles exiting the site use the approved wheel cleaning facilities. The wheel cleaning facilities shall be retained until the development has been substantially completed or until such time as the District Planning Authority is satisfied that the roadworks necessary to provide adequate and clean access to and from the public highway have been completed (apart from final surfacing).
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.
17) Unless otherwise agreed by the District Planning Authority, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation must not commence until conditions (a) to (d) below have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the District Planning Authority in writing until condition (d) has been complied with in relation to that contamination.

(a) Site Characterisation
An investigation and risk assessment, in addition to any assessment provided with the planning application, must be completed in accordance with a scheme to assess the nature and extent of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The contents of the scheme are subject to the approval in writing of the District Planning Authority. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The written report is subject to the approval in writing of the District Planning Authority. The report of the findings must include:
A survey of the extent, scale and nature of the contamination;
An assessment of the potential risks to:
Human health
Property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes
Adjoining land
Ground waters and surface waters
Ecological systems
Archaeological sites and ancient monuments
An appraisal of remedial options, and proposal of the preferred option(s)

This must be conducted in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'.

(b) Submission of Remediation Scheme
A detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property and the natural and historical environment must be prepared, and is subject to the approval in writing of the District Planning Authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.

(c) Implementation of Approved Remediation Scheme
The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the District Planning Authority. The District Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works.

Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report (referred to in PPS23 as a validation report) that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and is subject to the approval in writing of the District Planning Authority.

(d) Reporting of Unexpected Contamination
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 in writing immediately to the District Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of condition (a), and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of condition (b), which is subject to the approval in writing of the District Planning Authority.

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 District Planning Authority in accordance with condition (c).

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.
18) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no extensions to the building/s hereby permitted shall be carried out without the grant of further specific permission from the District Planning Authority.
REASON: To control the external appearance of the building/s in the interests of the amenities of the area.
(Policy BE8, S.B.L.P.R).
19) This permission relates only to the details shown on the Site Location Plan and Drawings Nos. 0840.PL-001, 0840.PL-002, 0840.PL-003, 0840.PL-004 and 0840.PL-005 received 24/09/08 or to any subsequent appropriately endorsed revised plan.
REASON: To identify the approved plans and to avoid doubt.
