Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/22/04237/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
2) No development shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme, to manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC), and a maintenance and management plan for the scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The discharge rate from the development will be limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year rate, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed drainage Strategy (to be submitted) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved. Maintenance will ensure the system functions as designed for the lifetime of the development. Any variation to the connections and controls indicated on the approved drawing which may be necessary at the time of construction would require the resubmission of those details to the Local Planning Authority for approval.
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 para 163 and 165 of the NPPF and its supporting technical guidance.
3) No dwelling shall be occupied until the developer has formally submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority a finalised 'Maintenance and Management Plan' for the entire surface water drainage system, inclusive of any adoption arrangements and/or private ownership or responsibilities, and that the approved surface water drainage scheme has been correctly and fully installed as per the final approved details.
Reason: To ensure that the implementation and long term operation of a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) is in line with what has been approved, in accordance with Written Statement HCWS161, 18th December 2014.
4) No development shall commence until an Ecological Enhancement Strategy (EES) for the creation of new wildlife features such as bird/bat and bee boxes in buildings/structures and hedgerow, shrub and wildflower planting/establishment has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.  Content shall include the:
a) detailed design of enhancements (including, where relevant, type and source of materials to be used);
b) extent and location of proposed works shown on appropriate scale maps and plans;
c) timetable for implementation, demonstrating that works are aligned with the proposed phasing of construction;
d) persons responsible for implementing the works;
e) details of initial aftercare and long-term maintenance.

Reason: To ensure development is ecologically sensitive and secures biodiversity enhancements in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
5) No development shall take place until a written scheme of archaeological investigation (WSI); that includes provision for fieldwork followed by post excavation analysis and publication, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 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).
6) No development shall commence until a scheme to deal with contamination of land/ground gas/controlled waters has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall include all of the following measures, unless the local planning authority dispenses with any such requirement specifically in writing:
1. A Phase I site investigation report carried out by a competent person to include a desk study, site walkover, the production of a site conceptual model and a human health and environmental risk assessment, undertaken in accordance with BS 10175: 2011 Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Sites Code of Practice.
2. A Phase II intrusive investigation report detailing all investigative works and sampling on site, together with the results of the analysis, undertaken in accordance with BS 10175:2011 Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Sites Code of Practice. The report shall include a detailed quantitative human health and environmental risk assessment.
3. A remediation scheme detailing how the remediation will be undertaken, what methods will be used and what is to be achieved. A clear end point of the remediation shall be stated, and how this will be validated. Any ongoing monitoring shall also be determined.
4. If during the works contamination is encountered which has not previously been identified, then the additional contamination shall be fully assessed in an appropriate remediation scheme which shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.
5. A validation report detailing the proposed remediation works and quality assurance certificates to show that the works have been carried out in full accordance with the approved methodology shall be submitted prior to [first occupation of the development/the development being brought into use]. Details of any post-remedial sampling and analysis to demonstrate that the site has achieved the required clean-up criteria shall be included, together with the necessary documentation detailing what waste materials have been removed from the site.

Reason: To minimise and prevent pollution of the land and the water environment and in accordance with national planning policy guidance set out in section 11 of the National Planning Policy Framework, and in order to protect human health and the environment
7) No development shall commence above ground works until a scheme has been submitted for the protection of the dwellings from noise from nearby transport, commercial and agricultural sources within the red and blue land to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall follow the recommendations identified in the MAS Environmental Noise Impact Assessment Report Ref MAS MFS Rep SL DTB 200206. No dwellings shall be occupied until the scheme providing protection for those dwellings has been implemented in accordance with the approved details and has been demonstrated to achieve the required noise levels to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. The approved scheme shall be retained in accordance with those details thereafter.

Reason: To protect the amenity of future occupiers of the development
(Sections 12 & 15 NPPF)
10) No works above slab level relating to the construction of the dwellings hereby approved shall take place until details of soft landscaping and a timetable for its implementation have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out as approved and in accordance with the approved timetable. Thereafter the trees and shrubs shall subsequently be maintained for a period of 5 years and any which die or are destroyed during this period shall be replaced during the next planting season.

Reason: To ensure an acceptable standard of landscaping
Sections 12 & 15, NPPF.
