Reason: In the interests of highway safety in accordance with Policies D2 and T1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.

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 CIRIA 665. Each phase shall be submitted in writing and approved by the Local Planning Authority. 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.

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. Phase 3 requires production of a remediation and/or monitoring scheme to ensure the site is rendered suitable for its proposed use. The remediation shall be carried out in accordance with an approved scheme and no development shall be occupied until all approved remedial works have been carried out and a full validation report has been submitted and approved to the satisfaction of Local Planning Authority. In the event that gas protection is required, all such measures shall be implemented in full and confirmation of satisfactory installation obtained in writing from a Building Control Regulator.
