The application shall then be implemented in accordance with these approved details. Reason To ensure that any coal mining legacy implications are satisfactorily addressed. 14 The development shall be carried out in accordance with the agreed Japanese knotweed eradication strategy details (ref KMAC services, dated 03.03.21), including final written confirmation to confirm the eradication of knotweed on site, shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority in accordance with the agreed statement before the development is brought into use. Reason In order to ensure that there is no spreading of Japanese knotweed to adjacent sites. 15 The site shall be developed with separate systems of drainage for foul and surface water on and off site. Reason In the interest of satisfactory and sustainable drainage. 16 There shall be no piped discharge of surface water from the development prior to the completion of surface water drainage works, details of which will have been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. If discharge to public sewer is proposed, the information shall include, but not be exclusive to: i) evidence that other means of surface water drainage have been properly considered and why they have been discounted; and ii) the means of discharging to the public sewer network at a rate to be agreed by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the statutory sewerage undertaker. Reason To ensure that no surface water discharges take place until proper provision has been made for its disposal. Informatives a) The applicant is reminded that any future development to construct more dwellings on the land to the south would trigger a future Affordable Housing Contribution on this site. Under comprehensive development rules the whole area has to be considered as one development site for affordable housing calculations. Therefore if any planning applications are submitted for the rest of the site area at a later date – the total number of units that are built across the whole site will be used to calculate the affordable housing requirement (eg if this exceeds 14 units across the sites). In short, sub-dividing the site, and even a change in ownership will not reduce the total affordable housing requirement it will be recalculated at every phase. Yorkshire Water 1) Development of the site should take place with separate systems for foul and surface water drainage. The separate systems should extend to the points of discharge to be agreed. 2) Surface Water Disposal: The developer is proposing to discharge surface water to public sewer however, sustainable development requires appropriate surface water disposal. Yorkshire Water promote the surface water disposal hierarchy and the developer must provide evidence to demonstrate that surface water disposal via infiltration or watercourse are not reasonably practical before considering disposal to public sewer. The developer and LPA are strongly advised to seek comments on surface water disposal from other drainage bodies as further restrictions may be imposed. As a last resort, the surface water discharge from the proposal to the public surface water sewer network must be restricted so as not to exceed 3.5 (three point five) litres per second. Hours of Construction 3) Except in case of emergency, operations should not take place on site other than between the hours of 08:00 - 18:00 Monday to Friday and between 09:00 - 13:00 on Saturdays. There should be no working on Sundays or Public Holidays. At times when operations are not permitted work shall be limited to maintenance and servicing of plant or other work of an essential or emergency nature. The Local Planning Authority should be notified at the earliest opportunity of the occurrence of any such emergency and a schedule of essential work shall be provided. 4) Heavy goods vehicles should only enter or leave the site between the hours of 08:00 - 18:00 on weekdays and 09:00 - 13:00 Saturdays and no such movements should take place on or off the site on Sundays or Public Holidays (this excludes the movement of private vehicles for personal transport). POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT During the determination of the application, the Local Planning Authority worked with the applicant to consider what clarifications were necessary to make the scheme acceptable. The applicant agreed to amend the scheme so that it was in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
