Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/25/02706/PAAR
Conditions or Reasons:
1) Part A: No development shall take place until an archaeological written scheme of investigation (WSI), has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The said development shall only be implemented in full accordance with the approved archaeological scheme and the WSI shall contain the following components: 
 
method statements for the investigation of all archaeological remains present at the site. 
an outline strategy for post-excavation assessment; analysis, publication, and archive deposition including details of the timetable for each stage of the post-excavation works. 
 
Part B: This condition shall only be fully discharged when: 
 
all elements of the archaeological fieldwork have been completed and the date of completion has been confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 
a final archaeological report or if appropriate a Post Excavation Assessment report and an Updated Project Design has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall be done within 12 months of the date of completion of the archaeological fieldwork unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority 
the post-excavation analysis as specified in the approved Updated Project Design (if one is prepared) has been completed.  
the preparation of the site archives (including the completion of the archive report) for deposition at stores approved by the Local Planning Authority has been undertaken and confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the digital archive this will include confirmation of the intention to deposit with a CoreTrustSeal certified repository dedicated to storing archaeological archives.  
the publication report text has been prepared for submission to either a recognised archaeological journal, as a standalone monograph or the Historic Environment Record and this has been confirmed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  
 
Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by the Local Planning Authority, items 3, 4 and 5 of Part B of this condition shall be completed within 2 years of the archaeological fieldwork date of completion. Should the project not warrant the production of a Post Excavation Assessment report, an Updated Project Design and a publication text, Item 5 can be completed on the approval of the final archaeological report.  
 
Reason: To investigate and record any archaeological remains affected by the development, to safeguard the long-term future of the archive and to make the record of all the work publicly available. Part A of this condition is pre-commencement because development works can have an irreversible impact on archaeological remains and an approved programme of investigation must be in place before the development starts. 
(Section 16, NPPF)
2) No development shall commence until the final detailed design of the surface water drainage scheme has been submitted to, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The final detailed design shall be based on the agreed Drainage Strategy with a permeable membrane (Ref: Apple engineering, 25134-01, Rev B) and DEFRAs Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (March 2018) and shall be implemented and maintained as approved. The scheme will manage surface water runoff from the development for up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (+40%CC), it will prioritise infiltration methods with evidence of site testing to BRE365 standards, where infiltration is proven to be unviable, attenuated discharge to a watercourse will be limited to the 1 in 1 year greenfield runoff rate, and there is to be no increase in peak flow in a receiving watercourse. The approved surface water drainage scheme will be implemented early in the construction phase, prior to the construction of any impermeable surfaces and at slab level of phase one at the latest. Any variation to the connections and controls indicated on the approved scheme and supporting drawings, 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.
(Section 14, NPPF)
3) The development shall not be brought into use until a finalised 'Maintenance and Management Plan' for the entire surface water drainage system, inclusive of any adoption arrangements and/or private ownership or responsibilities, has been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This shall include a 'verification report' confirming that the surface water drainage scheme has been constructed and is operating as per the approved design. The report shall be prepared by a suitably qualified professional and shall include photographic evidence, testing reports, and any other necessary information to confirm the system's functionality. The surface water drainage system must be proven to be fully operational before  any buildings are occupied. Where any SuDS features are used temporarily, they shall be remediated in full accordance with the approved design prior to occupation.
Reason: To ensure that the implementation and long term operation of a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) is in line with what has been approved.
(Section 14, NPPF)
4) Flood prevention should be prioritised from the land clearance phase of the development. There shall be no increase to existing properties or infrastructure in flood risk from any source. Construction methods shall include temporary or intermediate drainage works as necessary to prevent and manage flood risk prior to the site's approved drainage being fully functional.  If temporary measures are required, they should be included in the Drainage Strategy and updated details provided at each stage.
Reason: To ensure safety of existing property and infrastructure from flood risk.
