That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, BLO-002A, CMP-001, BLO-001, LOC-001 and BLO-003, except as controlled or modified by conditions of this permission. Reason: To secure the proper planning of the area in accordance with Development Plan policies.

No development shall commence, except for enabling works until a phased risk assessment has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The phased risk assessment must be carried out by a competent person in accordance with current government and Environment Agency Guidance and Approved Codes of Practice such as Land Contamination: Risk Management 2020 and BS10175:2011 +A2:2017 Investigation of potentially contaminated sites. Each phase shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Phase 3 requires that a remediation strategy be submitted to and approved by the LPA to ensure the site will be rendered suitable for its proposed use. Reason - To ensure that any ground, water and associated gas contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and to ensure the site is suitable for the proposed use in line with the NPPF and policy ENV11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

No development shall commence until a report from a suitably qualified ecologist identifying mitigation measures that may be required before, during and after construction has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority. The report shall detail any required mitigation or precautionary working methods to protect onsite fauna, adjacent habitats and the neighbouring Conservation Target Area. Reason : To protect important ecological receptors in accordance with policy ENV2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The development shall not be occupied until the buildings shown to be demolished on the plans accompanying the application have been demolished, and any demolished material which is not to be utilised in the new development has been removed from the land. Reason: To ensure satisfactory comprehensive development in accordance with policies DES1, DES2 and ENV1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The development shall not be occupied until any previously approved remediation strategy has been carried out in full and a validation report confirming completion of these works has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Where land contamination investigation/remedial works are required this must be carried out by a competent person in accordance with current government and Environment Agency Guidance and Approved Codes of Practice such as Land Contamination: Risk Management 2020 and BS10175:2011 +A2:2017 'Investigation of potentially contaminated sites'. Reason: To ensure that any ground, water and associated gas contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and to ensure the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with policy ENV11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The development hereby permitted shall only be constructed in the materials specified on the plans hereby approved or in materials which shall previously have been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
