Reason: As the application is in outline only and not accompanied by detailed plans.

That application for the approval of the reserved matters referred to in Condition 1 above shall be made to the Local Planning Authority not later than three years from the date of this permission, and if this condition is not complied with this permission shall lapse. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

That the development hereby permitted shall be begun either before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission, or before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved, whichever is the later.

That at no time shall new first or mezzanine floors be constructed in the Maplin or Fountain Building unless a planning permission shall have been granted therefor. Reason: To prevent a further increase in employment contrary to policies E3 and E5 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.

Details of appropriate measures to prevent pollution of groundwater and surface water including provisions for monitoring, shall then be submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority before development commences. The development shall then proceed in strict accordance with the measures approved. Reason: To prevent pollution of the water environment in accordance with policy G7 of the Council's adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.

No development shall take place within the application area (excluding the demolition of existing buildings) until the applicant has been responsible for implementing a programme of phased archaeological work in accordance with a written scheme of investigation supplied by the applicant and acceptable to the Planning Authority. The initial field evaluation phase will commence immediately following the demolition of existing buildings. Any further archaeological investigation and recording that may be required in mitigation, shall be completed prior to the commencement of any groundworks/construction works in those areas identified as containing archaeological deposits. The work shall be carried out by a professionally qualified archaeological organisation acceptable to the Planning Authority.
