12) In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development, it shall be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment shall then be undertaken by a competent person, in accordance with 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. A written report of the findings should be forwarded for approval to the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of remedial measures a verification report shall be prepared that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out. No part of the development should be occupied until all remedial and validation works are approved in writing.

Reason: To protect human health and to ensure that no future investigation is required under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. (Policy BE8, SBLPR and section 15, NPPF)

14) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme for the site, based on the agreed Flood Risk Assessment (Dated April 2017, prepared by JPP Consulting), has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. On site infiltration testing in full accordance with BRE365 shall be submitted to inform the detailed drainage design. The scheme shall include provision of attenuation for the 1 in 100 year event (+40% allowance for climate change) and, if infiltration (partial or full) is not feasible, a surface water discharge point shall be identified. Any revisions to the agreed strategy shall be fully justified and approved before the development is completed and shall be managed and maintained thereafter in accordance with the agreed management and maintenance plan. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved final details before the development is completed, and shall be managed and maintained thereafter in accordance with the agreed management and maintenance plan.

Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with paragraphs 163 & 165 of the NPPF. (Section 14, NPPF)

The development hereby approved shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme and this condition will only be fully discharged when the post-excavation analysis and reporting is complete, and the future of the site archive is secured.'

Reason: This condition is pre-commencement as a failure to secure appropriate archaeological investigation in advance of development would be contrary to paragraph 199 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) that requires developers to record and advance of understanding of the significance of any heritage assets affected by development before they are lost (wholly or in part). (Section 16, NPPF)
18) The development hereby permitted shall be undertaken in full accordance with the Council's adopted 'Construction Code of Practice for Developers and Contractors' https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/44/planning/674/codes_of_practice_for_planning.
