)Environment Agency Informative 1:
Once final restoration levels are achieved we would expect the Environmental Permit Holder to be progressing towards definitive closure of the landfill. An assessment of the stability of the waste mass and emissions to the environment would be required to be undertaken by the permit holder. Additional remediation works or installation of monitoring infrastructure may be required. The applicant is advised that the proposed development should not have a detrimental impact on the requirements of the Environmental Permit and the achievement of definitive closure. We would expect to see significant progress towards or beyond definitive closure prior to the submission of a Reserved Matters application.Environment Agency Informative 1:

)The Environment Agency recommend that developers should:
1. Follow the risk management framework provided in CLR11, Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, when dealing with land affected/potentially affected by contamination.
2. Refer to our Guiding principles for land contamination (GPLC1) for the type of information that we require in order to assess risks to controlled waters from the site. At this stage, a Preliminary Risk Assessment is required. The information contained in the GroundSure, Wilbourn Associates and Goldfinch Environmental Ltd reports should form the basis of the assessment. The Local Authority can advise on risk to other receptors, e.g. human health.
3. Refer to the Environment Agency's website at www.environment-agency.gov.uk
4. Land contamination investigations should be carried out in accordance with BS 5930:1999 'Code of Practice for site investigations' and BS 10175:2001 'Investigation of potentially contaminated sites - Code of Practice'. Soil and water analysis should be fully MCERTS accredited.

)We recommend that piling on contaminated sites underlain by aquifers is avoided where possible, and that non-invasive methods, such as rafts, should be used instead. Where there is no alternative to piling, a method should be selected that minimises the risks of groundwater pollution or gas migration. Mitigation measures and/or environmental monitoring may need to be incorporated into the design. The method selected should be presented in a " Foundation Works Risk Assessment Report" which should be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority before development commences.

)We offer the following information on the design and location of sustainable drainage systems:
Direct discharges into groundwater of surface water run-off are not acceptable.
All infiltration structures (permeable pavements, infiltration trenches, soakaways, etc.) should be constructed to as shallow a depth as possible to simulate natural infiltration.
The base of infiltration structures should be at least 1.2 metres above the highest seasonal groundwater-table as direct discharges to groundwater are unacceptable.
No infiltration structures should be constructed in contaminated land.
Prior to being discharged into any surface water sewer or soakaway system, all surface water drainage from parking areas and hard standings susceptible to oil contamination should be passed through an oil separator designed and constructed to have a capacity and details compatible with the site being drained. Roof water should not pass through the interceptor.
Only clean, uncontaminated water should be discharged to any soakaway/ infiltration structure.
We consider that deep bore and other deep soakaway systems are not appropriate in areas where groundwater constitutes a significant resource (i.e. where aquifer yield may support or already supports abstraction).
Drainage systems should be constructed in line with guidance provided in CIRIA C697 as well as referring to the details given in C609 referred to above. C522 replacement (prior to publication, 2006, refer to CIRIA Report 609).We offer the following information on the design and location of sustainable drainage systems:

)As part of the Reserved Matters the applicant will have to provide additional information on:
Bin collection points for individual dwellings
Tracking details, including details of any turning heads
Individual dwellings access to the rear gardens in order to store waste receptacles
Any communal bin store details including size, design and distance from highway
In the submitted Waste Audit section 5.4 it states that "Communal refuse bins will be stored within 25 metres of the refuse collection routes" The Council requires that all communal bin stores are positioned no further than a maximum of 10 metres from highway.As part of the Reserved Matters the applicant will have to provide additional information on:
