Decision Planning Permission on 6th August 2009
Conditions / Refusal Reasons The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

Prior to the commencement of development samples of the materials to be used for the external walls and roof shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure that the details of the development are satisfactory in accordance with Policy D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Prior to the commencement of any site works (including demolition or site clearance) a protected area shall be designated for all existing trees which are shown to be retained, and the trees shall be protected in accordance with a scheme which complies with BS 5837:2005 Trees in Relation to Construction and shall have been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. The agreed measures shall be kept in place during the entire course of development. Reason: To safeguard trees which are visually important in accordance with Policies C9 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That a scheme for the landscaping of the site, including the planting of live trees and shrubs, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted. The scheme shall be implemented as approved within 12 months of the commencement of the approved development and thereafter be maintained in accordance with the approved scheme. In the event of any of the trees or shrubs so planted dying or being seriously damaged or destroyed within 5 years of the completion of the development, a new tree or shrub or equivalent number of trees or shrubs, as the case may be, of a species first approved by the Local Planning Authority, be planted and properly maintained in a position or positions first approved by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To help to assimilate the development into its surroundings in accordance with Policies C9 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

No development shall commence until a phased contaminated land risk assessment including formulation of any necessary remediation proposals has been completed to the Local Planning Authority's ( LPA) satisfaction. The development shall then not be occupied until all approved remediation works are completed to the satisfaction of the LPA. All phases need to be undertaken by a person competent in contaminated land, in accordance with Defra and the Environment Agencies 'Model Procedures for the Management of Contaminated Land, CLR 11' and be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Consulting the LPA with proposals for each phase is recommended. Phase 1 shall incorporate a desk study and site walk over to identify all potential contaminative uses on site and to inform the preliminary conceptual site model. If potential contamination is identified then phase 2 shall be undertaken. Phase 2 shall include a comprehensive intrusive investigation in order to characterise the type, nature and extent of contamination present, the risks to receptors and where necessary to inform the remediation strategy proposals. If significant contamination is found then phase 3 shall be undertaken. Phase 3 requires production of a remediation and validation scheme to ensure the site is rendered suitable for its proposed use. The remediation shall be carried out in accordance with a scheme and timetable first agreed in writing by the LPA. Phase 4 required a full validation report detailing the measures carried out to ensure compliance with any approved remediation scheme in Phase 3 to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. All implemented works shall be maintained in place thereafter. Reason: To ensure that any ground and water contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and the public and ensure that the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy EP8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

The dwelling shall be designed and constucted to attain a Level 3 star rating in accordance with the Code for Sustainable Homes. A post construction review shall be carried out and shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority prior to occupation of the development. Reason: To ensure high standards in conservation and efficient use of energy in accordance with Policy D8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) no external alterations or extensions shall be carried out to the building(s) hereby approved. Reason: To safeguard the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining properties and the character of the area generally in accordance with Policies G2, D1 and D4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That prior to occupation of the new dwelling hereby permitted the parking and access* shall be provided as shown on Drawing No. CS/SC.30/03 and subsequently shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking of vehicles. Reason: In the interest of highway safety and in accordance with Policy T1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. *Works of forming the access require the separate permission of the Local Highway Authority. Please contact the LHA Southern Area Office prior to the commencement of works.

The garage accommodation shall be retained as such and shall not be adapted for living purposes without the prior written permission of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the provision of adequate off-street car parking in accordance with Policies T1 and T2 and Appendix 5 (Car Parking Standards) of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
