All to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority and shall thereafter be maintained in a working condition. Reason To ensure that surface water can adequately be drained and to encourage drivers to make use of the parking spaces and to ensure that the use of the land for this purpose will not give rise to the deposit of mud and other extraneous material on the public highway in the interests of the adequate drainage of the site and road safety. 05 Before the development is brought into use, the Shaw Road access shall be signed or marked ‘In Only’ and the Chesterton Road access signed or marked ‘Out Only’ in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The accesses shall thereafter be used as a one way system only.

Reason To ensure the provision of satisfactory parking space and avoid the necessity for the parking of vehicles on the highway in the interests of road safety. Electric Vehicle Charging Points 07 Before the building is brought into use a scheme detailing the dedicated facilities that will be provided for charging electric vehicles and other ultra-low emission vehicles shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall meet at least the following minimum standard for numbers and power output: • One Standard Electric Vehicle Charging Point providing a continuous supply of at least 16A (3.5kW) for at least 20% of the development. Parking spaces that are to be provided with charging points shall not be brought into use until the charging points are installed and operational. Charging points installed shall be retained thereafter. Reason In the interest of supporting and encouraging low emission vehicles, in the interest of air quality enhancement, to comply with the aims and objectives Chapters 2, 9 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 08 The use hereby permitted shall be within class B8 and E(g) which only includes the following: • B8 Storage and Distribution • E(g)(i) Offices to carry out any operational or administrative functions, • E(g)(ii) Research and development of products or processes • E(g)(iii) Industrial processes and shall not be an open E Use Class. Reason The site is not suitable for an open, unrestricted E Use Class such as retail. 09 The building to which this permission relates shall be retained within a single site area as an employment use including B8 as detailed in the application form and shall not be used solely for Eg (i) offices or subdivided into separate uses in the future. Reason The use of the site as an employment facility as been considered as a whole without the individual uses and the potential impact on the town centre. 10 Prior to the operational use of the land/building(s) hereby approved, a Local Labour Agreement outlining measures to be taken to employ local workers for the operational phase of the development shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scope of the Agreement shall be agreed in writing prior to submission of the formal document. The development shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason To improve skills in all of Rotherham’s communities through the promotion of access to training, education and local employment opportunities, in accordance with Policy CS10 ‘Improving Skills and Employment Opportunities’ Informatives Electric Vehicle Charging Points – Footnote • A Standard Electric Vehicle Charging Point is one which is capable of providing a continuous supply of at least 16A (3.5kW) and up to 32A (7kW). The higher output is more likely to be futureproof. • For developments where some or all of the parking is likely to be used for shorter stay parking (30mins to 4 hours) then Fast (7-23kW) or Rapid (43kW+) charging points may be more appropriate. If Fast or Rapid charging points are proposed together with restrictions on the times that vehicles are allowed to be parked at these points then a lower number of charging points may be acceptable. • The electrical supply of the final installation should allow the charging equipment to operate at full rated capacity. • The installation must comply with all applicable electrical requirements in force at the time of installation. Construction Management The applicant should take all relevant precautions to minimise the potential for disturbance to neighbouring units in terms of noise, vibrations and dust during the construction phases of the development. This should include the use of water suppression for any stone or brick cutting and advising neighbours in advance of any particularly noisy works. The granting of this planning permission does not indemnify against statutory nuisance action being taken should substantiated noise or dust complaints be received. For further information please contact the Environmental Health service. 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. The application was submitted on the basis of these discussions, or was amended to accord with them. It was considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
