Reason To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors. 15 In the event that during development works unexpected significant contamination (including asbestos containing materials) is encountered at any stage of the process, the Local Planning Authority shall be notified in writing immediately.

Reason To achieve a sustainable form of development in accordance with the Local Plan. Informatives: 01 General Amenity You should note that the Council’s Neighbourhood Enforcement have a legal duty to investigate any complaints about noise or dust which may arise during the construction phase. If a statutory nuisance is found to exist they must serve an Abatement Notice under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Failure to comply with the requirements of an Abatement Notice may result in a fine of up to £20,000 upon conviction in the Magistrates' Court. It is therefore recommended that you give serious consideration to reducing general disturbance by restricting the hours that operations and deliveries take place, minimising dust and preventing mud, dust and other materials being deposited on the highway. 02 Badger Whilst no disturbance to a Badger sett will take place, the works within the western edge of the site should be undertaken with care, under the conditions of an ecological watching brief if necessary. 03 Ecology If a protected species is found during site clearance or construction, work must temporarily cease and an experienced ecologist be contacted for advice. 04 Road closure One of the existing entrances within the estate is to be removed. This will require a Stopping Up Order under S247 Town and Country Planning Act, 1990. 05 The close boarded acoustic fence referred to in Condition 04 shall be completely imperforate with no airgaps. Overlapped or tightly butted boards would be suitable but any features such as gaps between boards, whether or not they are offset by parallel boards to prevent visibility, would render the fence acoustically ineffective. There must be no airgaps under the lower edge of the fence, which can usually be achieved by fitting a continuous vertical board along the lower edge of the fence set into a trench of gravel or by fixing the fence onto a low masonry wall. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT The applicant and the Local Planning Authority engaged in pre application discussions to consider the development before the submission of the planning application. In addition the application was amended during the course of the application process as a result of discussions between the applicant and Local Planning Authority. The Local Planning Authority considers that it has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner based on seeking solutions in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
