Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - SB/08/01187
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) New external brickwork and roofing materials shall match those of the existing building as closely as possible.
REASON: To ensure that the development is in keeping with the existing building.
(Policies BE8 & H8, S.B.L.P.R).
3) 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 within 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 Agencys 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.
4) Development shall not begin until a vehicle crossing over the footway/verge fronting the existing property and to serve the new property has been constructed in accordance with Section 184 of the 1980 Highway Act and in accordance with a scheme to be submitted to and approved by the District Planning Authority.
REASON: In order to minimise danger, obstruction and inconvenience to users of the highway and the premises.
5) 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.
6) Before the access is brought into use an area of land across the whole of the site frontage measuring at least 1.8m from and parallel to the nearside edge of the adjacent road carriageway shall be provided and thereafter be kept free of all obstruction to visibility.
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.
7) Any gates provided shall open away from the highway and be set back a distance of at least 5.0m metres from the nearside edge of the carriageway of the adjoining highway.
REASON: To enable vehicles to draw off the highway before the gates are opened.
8) Before the premises are occupied, all on site vehicular areas shall be surfaced in a manner to the District 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.
9) Notwithstanding the details submitted, before development begins, a scheme for parking of vehicles on the site shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the District Planning Authority. The scheme shall comply with the standards of the District Planning Authority and shall be fully implemented before the development is first occupied or brought into use and thereafter retained for this purpose.
REASON: To ensure provision for car parking clear of the highway.
(Policy T10, S.B.L.P.R).
10) This permission relates only to the details shown on Drawing No. 2393.08 Rev.A received 17/12/08 or to any subsequent appropriately endorsed revised plan.
REASON: To identify the approved drawing and to avoid doubt.
