Planning permission for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this legislation. Should great crested newts be found at any stage of the development works, then all works should cease, and a professional and/or suitably qualified and experienced ecologist (or Natural England) should be contacted for advice on any special precautions before continuing, including the need for a licence.The applicant is reminded that, under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to (amongst other things): deliberately capture, disturb, injure, or kill great crested newts; damage or destroy a breeding or resting place; intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a resting or sheltering place.

)Environment Agency Technical Appendix
Appendix 1: Groundwater and Contaminated Land Technical Comments
The site is located within a groundwater source protection zone and has been subject to
potentially contaminative previous uses and activities. We have recommended planning
conditions to ensure that the potential pollution risks to controlled waters from historic
contamination, and from surface water disposal and foundation schemes, will be
adequately managed. Information relevant to these conditions has not been provided so
far.
Appendix 2: Advice to Applicant
1. Land Contamination Assessments
We expect land contamination assessments to follow the tiered approach laid out in our
Land contamination risk management (LCRM) guidance. The preliminary risk
assessment (PRA) should include historical plans of the site, an appraisal of the
environmental setting (including geology, hydrogeology, groundwater and surface water
receptors, potential contaminants of concern and source areas), an initial conceptual
site model (CSM) describing possible pollutant linkages for controlled waters, and
identification of potentially unacceptable risks. Land contamination investigations should
be undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced professionals and in accordance
with BS 5930: Code of practice for ground investigations and BS 10175: Investigation of
potentially contaminated sites code of practice.
Soil and water analysis should be fully MCERTS accredited. Investigation, demolition,
remediation, or construction works must not create new pathways or linkages to
controlled waters. Clean drilling techniques may be required for boreholes that
penetrate contaminated ground.
2. Sustainable Drainage System (SUDs)
Soakaways and other infiltration SUDS must comply with statements G1 and G9 to G13
of our Groundwater Protection Position Statements and should be constructed in line
with good practice and guidance documents including the CIRIA C753 SuDS Manual
and the Susdrain website. They must not be constructed in contaminated ground where
infiltration could re-mobilise contaminants to pollute groundwater.
All infiltration SuDS should be designed to maintain a minimum 1.2m clearance above
peak seasonal groundwater levels. We do not consider deep infiltration systems (>2.0m
below ground level) to be routinely acceptable.
Only clean roof water can be directly discharged to infiltration SuDs or watercourses;
systems for the discharge of surface water from hard-standing, roads and impermeable
vehicle parking areas must incorporate appropriate pollution prevention measures and a
suitable number of SUDs treatment components in line with the environmental
sensitivity of the receiving waters. An oil separator/interceptor (or equivalent device)
may be required to remove oil from water draining off hard surfaces with a risk of oil
contamination.
We recommend that developers:
* Refer to our Groundwater Protection webpages, which include our Groundwater
Protection Position Statements
* Refer to our Land Contamination Technical Guidance, including our Land
contamination risk management (LCRM) guidance, when dealing with land
affected by contamination and for the type of information required in order to
assess the risks to controlled waters. The Local Authority can advise on
management of risks to human health
* Consider using the National Quality Mark Scheme for Land Contamination
Management which involves the use of competent persons to ensure that land
contamination risks are appropriately managed.
* Refer to British Standards BS 5930 Code of practice for ground investigations
and BS 10175 Investigation of potentially contaminated sites code of practice
* Refer to our Piling and Penetrative Ground Improvement Methods on Land
Affected by Contamination National Groundwater & Contaminated Land Centre
Project NC/99/73. The selected method, including environmental mitigation
measures, should be presented in a Foundation Works Risk Assessment Report,
guidance on the production of which can be found in Table 3 of Piling Into
Contaminated Sites
* Refer to Position Statement on the Definition of Waste: Development Industry
Code of Practice
* Refer to our Good Practice for Decommissioning Boreholes and Wells
* Refer to our Dewatering building sites and other excavations: environmental
permits guidance when temporary dewatering is proposed.Environment Agency Technical Appendix
