No development shall take place until the Local Planning Authority are satisfied that the following measures (a-c) have been undertaken to investigate and remediate any contamination and have approved all necessary stages in writing.

The Desk Study shall be completed in accordance with BS 10175 2011 and include a site walkover, identification of all potentially contaminative site uses and in initial conceptual model. b) If potential contamination is identified in a) then an intrusive site investigation must be completed. This investigation must be undertaken in accordance with BS 10175 and having regard to the approved desk study. A report shall be produced detailing the works undertaken to characterise the site and contain a refined conceptual model in the light of the results of the investigation. All chemical analysis shall be undertaken by MCERTS accredited laboratories. N.B. If the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the site has been adequately characterised after the first stage of investigation, further works will be required to clarify any remaining uncertainties. It is therefore recommended that the Local Planning Authority are consulted on the site investigation proposal before completion of the works. c) Where unacceptable levels of contamination are identified, a remediation scheme shall be produced. The scheme shall incorporate details of the procedures and documentation employed to validate the remediation. The approved remediation scheme shall then be implemented in full and the report detailing the works approved by the Local Planning Authority in writing before occupation of the site. 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.
