The occupation of the dwelling hereby approved shall be limited to the applicant provided that he is solely or mainly employed in agriculture as defined in Section 336 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, or a dependent of the applicant residing with him. Reason: This permission has been given because the specific agricultural need for the dwelling outweighs the planning objections to the development in accordance with Policy A6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 or any subsequent revision, no additions or extensions to the dwelling shall be built or ancillary buildings or structures erected within the curtilage, unless permission has been granted by the Local Planning Authority on an application made for the purpose.

Prior to the commencement of the development a phased contaminated land risk assessment shall be carried out by a competent person in accordance with current government and Environment Agency Guidance and Approved Codes of Practice such as CLR11, BS10175, BS5930 and CIRIA665. Each phase shall be submitted in writing and approved by the Local Planning Authority (LPA). Phase 1 shall incorporate a desk study and site walk over to identify all potential contaminative uses on site and to inform the 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 to inform the remediation strategy proposals. If significant contamination is found then Phase 3 shall be undertaken.

The developer shall draw to the attention of the Local Planning Authority (LPA) the presence of any unsuspected contamination encountered during the development. In the event of contamination to land and/or water being encountered, no development shall continue until a programme of investigation and/or remedial work to include methods of monitoring and certification of such work undertaken has been submitted to and approved in writing by the LPA. The dwelling shall not be occupied until the approved remedial works, monitoring and certification of the works has been carried out and a full validation report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the LPA. In the event that no significant contamination is encountered, the developer shall provide a written statement to the LPA confirming that this is the case, and only after written approval by the LPA shall the dwelling be occupied. 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 EP8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
