RESOLVED –

That planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:

1.       The development to which this permission relates shall be begun within a period of three years commencing on the date of this permission.

2.       The development shall be carried out in accordance with the following drawings, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The following drawings are hereby approved:

DFW/EX/100, 200

DFW/PL/100, 101, 200, 201, 202

3.       No development approved by this planning permission shall commence until a remediation strategy to deal with the risks associated with contamination of the site has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. This strategy will include the following components:

1)       A preliminary risk assessment which has identified:

·        all previous uses;

·        potential contaminants associated with those uses;

·        a conceptual model of the site indicating sources, pathways and receptors; and

·        potentially unacceptable risks arising from contamination at the site.

2)       A site investigation scheme, based on (1) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site.

3)       The results of the site investigation and the detailed risk assessment referred to in (2) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken.

4)       A verification plan providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in the remediation strategy in (3) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action.

          Any changes to these components require the written consent of the local planning authority. The scheme shall be implemented as approved.

4.       No development shall commence until a monitoring and maintenance plan in respect of contamination, including a timetable of monitoring and submission of reports to the Local Planning Authority, has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. Reports as specified in the approved plan, including details of any necessary contingency action arising from the monitoring, shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority.

5.       No development shall commence until a scheme for managing any borehole installed for the investigation of soils, groundwater or geotechnical purposes has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall provide details of how redundant boreholes are to be decommissioned and how any boreholes that need to be retained, post-development, for monitoring purposes will be secured, protected and inspected.
