Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/25/03703/DOC
Conditions or Reasons:
3) Before the development hereby permitted is commenced, a site investigation and asbestos survey shall be carried out to establish whether the site is contaminated, to assess the degree and nature of any contamination present, including asbestos within the existing buildings/structures on the site, and to determine its potential for the pollution of the water environment and risk to other receptors.  The method and extent of the investigation shall be agreed with the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of work, but for the avoidance of doubt shall be carried out according to the requirements of the Local Planning Authority, including BS 10175:2011+A2:2017 Investigation of potentially contaminated sites Code of practice and in compliance with and by a competent person who conforms to Land Contamination Risk Assessment (LRCM) guides.

Reason: To prevent significant harm to people and or significant pollution of surface waters or groundwater.
4) If required by the survey carried out under Condition 3 of this permission, a method statement setting out the proposed means of dealing with any contamination and asbestos present on the site, including measures to prevent pollution of groundwater and surface water, shall then be submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority for approval before the development commences. The remediation strategy shall set out a timetable of works and the proposed means of dealing with any contamination and asbestos on site, including provisions for monitoring any specified actions and validating the outcomes. The development shall then proceed in strict accordance with the measures approved. If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the local planning authority) shall be carried out until the developer has submitted a remediation strategy to the local planning authority detailing how this unsuspected contamination shall be dealt with and obtained written approval from the local planning authority. The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved. All works must be carried out in compliance with and by a competent person who conforms to Land Contamination Risk Assessment (LRCM) guides.

Reason: To prevent significant harm to people and or significant pollution of surface waters or groundwater.
