Land Contamination
11
Prior to above ground works commencing, a Phase II Intrusive Site Investigation should be undertaken to assess potential geotechnical issues and the geo-environmental conditions at the site to confirm the nature, presence and extent of potential contamination across the site and the risk it presents to human health. The investigation and subsequent risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The written report is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.
The above works shall be conducted in line with guidance document ‘Land Contamination Risk Management’ (October 2020) and predecessor guidance ‘Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11 (Environment Agency, 2004) and BS10175:2011+A2 2017 (BSI, 2017)
Reason
To ensure the safe occupation of the site.
12
Prior to above ground works commencing and subject to the findings of condition 11 above, a Remediation Method Statement shall be provided and approved by this Local Authority prior to any remediation works commencing on site. The approved Remediation works shall be carried out in full on site under a quality assurance scheme to demonstrate compliance with the proposed methodology and best practice guidance. The Local Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works.
Reason
To ensure the safe occupation of the site.

If during development works unexpected significant contamination is encountered, the local planning authority shall be notified in writing immediately. Any requirements for remedial works shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Authority. Works thereafter shall be carried out in accordance with an approved Method Statement.
Reason
To ensure the safe occupation of the site.
14
If subsoil/topsoil is required to be imported to site for gardens and areas of soft landscaping, then these soils will need to be tested at a rate and frequency to be agreed with the Local Authority to ensure they are free from contamination.
Reason
To ensure the safe occupation of the site.
15
Following completion of any remedial/mitigation works a Validation Report should be forwarded to the Local Authority for review and comment. The Validation Report shall include details of the remediation works and quality assurance certificates to show that the works have been carried out in full accordance with the approved methodology. Details of any post-remedial sampling and analysis to show the site has reached the required clean-up criteria shall be included in the validation report together with the necessary documentation detailing what waste materials have been removed from the site. The site shall not be brought into use until such time as all validation data has been approved by the Local Authority.
Reason
To ensure the safe occupation of the site.
Affordable Housing
16
The development shall provide 100% affordable housing across the site, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason

Informatives
01
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
It is recommended that the development is designed and built to Secured by Design www.securedbydesign.com
The following should be considered:
Defensible Space
Each dwelling should have a front boundary to a height of 1 metre to allow for visible surveillance into and from the dwellings in question.
Boundary Treatment
All rear gardens should be secured with a min 1.8m high fence. A 1.8m lockable gate should be fitted as close the front boundary line as possible to secure the rear of the dwellings.
Surveillance
Any landscaping and front boundaries should be kept low at no more than 1 metre high and any trees to have no foliage below 2m to aid natural surveillance. Positioning of trees should be careful not to mask any Lighting Column’s.
Lighting
All external paths and car parking areas should be well lit with an LED lighting scheme to standard BS5489 with no dark areas. All front and rear doors should be lit with a wall mounted luminaire to provide lighting in line with standard BS5489 which should operate on a dusk to dawn sensor and spread the light downward.
Security of Dwellings
In line with SBD standards, all front / rear doors and ground floor windows should comply with PAS 24:2022.
03
Measures to facilitate the provision of gigabit-capable full fibre broadband for the development hereby approved should be carried out, please see attached Informative Note in this respect.
04
The existing vehicle access is to be removed, the footway reinstated, and two new vehicle accesses provided. This will require the applicant to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Council’s Highways Development Management Service and they should be requested to contact my colleague david.phillips@rotherham.gov.uk.
05
Nature conservation protection under UK and EU legislation is irrespective of the planning system and the applicant should therefore ensure that any activity undertaken, regardless of the need for any planning consent, complies with the appropriate wildlife legislation. If any protected species are found on the site then work should halt immediately and an appropriately qualified ecologist should be consulted. For definitive information primary legislative sources should be consulted.
Furthermore, vegetation removal should be undertaken outside of the bird breeding season, March to September inclusive. If any clearance work is to be carried out within this period, a nest search by a suitably qualified ecologist should be undertaken immediately preceding the works. If any active nests are present, work which may cause destruction of nests or, disturbance to the resident birds must cease until the young have fledged.
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.
