Members agreed that the application was satisfactory and raised no objection in contrary to the officers recommendation to approve the application

 

Following debate it was proposed by Councillor Marks and seconded by Councillor Carter that the application be approved in line with the officer’s recommendation.

 

It was agreed that the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

4.      Notwithstanding the submitted details, no development above slab level shall take place on site until a scheme for boundary treatment has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  The building shall not be occupied until the approved scheme has been fully implemented in accordance with the approved details.

 

5.      Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no building, structure or other alteration permitted by Class A-E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Order shall be erected/installed on the application site.

8.      Any gates provided shall be set back a distance of 5 metres from the edge of the vehicular carriageway of the adjoining highway and shall be hung so as to open inwards into the site only.

 

9.      Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation must not commence until parts A to D have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the Local Planning Authority in writing until condition D has been complied with in relation to that contamination.

 

A. Site Characterisation

 

An investigation and risk assessment, in addition to any assessment provided with the planning application, must be completed in accordance with a scheme to assess the nature and extent of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The contents of the scheme are subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. The investigation and 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 report of the findings must include:

 

(i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination;

 

(ii) an assessment of the potential risks to:

- human health,

- property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes,

- adjoining land,

- groundwaters and surface waters,

- ecological systems,

- archaeological sites and ancient monuments;

 

(iii) an appraisal of remedial options, and proposal of the preferred option(s).

 

This must be conducted in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11(or any model procedures revoking and replacing those model procedures with or without modification)'.

B. Submission of Remediation Scheme

 

A detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property and the natural and historical environment must be prepared, and is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.

 

C. Implementation of Approved Remediation Scheme

 

The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Local Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works.

 

Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

 

D. Reporting of Unexpected Contamination

 

In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of condition A, and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of condition B, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority in accordance with condition C.

 (iii) completion of post-fieldwork analysis, preparation of site archive ready for deposition at a store (Northamptonshire ARC) approved by the Planning Authority, completion of an archive report, and submission of a publication report to be completed within two years of the completion of fieldwork, unless otherwise agreed in advance with the Planning Authority.

 

11.    Prior to first occupation of the development dwelling a scheme of hard and soft landscaping works which shall specify species, planting sizes, spacing and numbers of trees and shrubs to be planted, any existing trees to be retained, the layout, contouring and surfacing of all open areas shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The works approved shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the occupation of the building, unless these works are carried out earlier.  Any newly approved trees or plants which, within a period of 5 years from the date of planting, die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species.

 

12.    Works audible at the site boundary will not exceed the following times unless with the written permission of the Local Planning Authority or Environmental Health.  Monday to Friday 08.00 to 18.00 hrs, Saturday 08.30 to 13.30 and at no time whatsoever on Sundays or Public/Bank Holidays.
