Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/24/01989/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
4) The development hereby permitted shall not begin 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 The Environment Agency Land Contamination Risk Management guidance.(LCRM).
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 LCRM. 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. 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: These details are required prior to the commencement of development in order to minimise and prevent pollution of the land and the water environment and in accordance with national planning policy guidance set out in section 183 and 184 of the NPPF, and in order to protect human health and the environment (Policy CC8, Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, 2021)
6) No development shall take place until an Ecological Enhancement Plan (EES) for the creation of new wildlife features such as hibernacula, the inclusion of integrated bird/bat and bee boxes in buildings/structures and hedgehog holes in fences and tree, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.

Reason: These details are required prior to the commencement of development in order to ensure the development is ecologically sensitive and secures biodiversity enhancements in accordance with Policy EE3 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the NPPF.
