Decision Planning Permission on 28th October 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.

That the materials to be used for the external walls and roofs shall be of the same colour, type and texture as those used on the existing building(s). Reason: To ensure that the details of the development are satisfactory in accordance with Policy 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. The development shall then not be occupied until all approved remediation works are completed. All phases need to be undertaken by a person competent in contaminated land, in accordance with Defra and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Contaminated Land, CLR11' and be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority (LPA). 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 requires 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 LPA. All implemented works shall be maintained in place thereafter. Reason: To ensure that any ground, water and gas contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and to ensure that the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy EP8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

If contamination is found to be present on the site then no further development shall be carried out until the following measures have been undertaken and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. An investigation into the nature and extent of the contamination in line with BS 10175: 2001 (Investigation of potentially contaminated sites - code of practice). This report should detail the works undertaken to investigate the nature and extent of the contamination and the measures proposed to remediate the site and validate the works. Following written approval by the Local Planning Authority of the remediation and validation proposals they shall be completed in full and a validation report submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before the development is occupied. 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 parking and turning areas shown on the submitted drawing SZULC01 REV A shall be provided and thereafter retained. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and in accordance with Policies T1 and T2 and Appendix 5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That the first floor landing window in the rear (northern) elevation shall be obscure glazed and thereafter retained as such. Reason: To ensure that the development is not unneighbourly in accordance with Policy D4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

The measures set out in the Design and Access statement which accompanied the application, in respect of sustainable building, shall be implemented in accordance with the statement prior to the first occupation of the unit, unless as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure sustainable development in accordance with Policy D8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
