No development shall commence until a phased contaminated land risk assessment including formulation of any necessary remediation proposals has been completed to the Local Planning Authority¿s (LPA) satisfaction. The development shall then not be occupied until all approved remediation works are completed to the satisfaction of the LPA.

Consulting the LPA with proposals for each phase is recommended. Phase 1 shall incorporate a desk study and site walk over to identify all potential contaminative uses on site and to inform the preliminary 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 where necessary 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 validation scheme to ensure the site is rendered suitable for its proposed use. The remediation shall be carried out in accordance with a scheme and timetable first agreed in writing by the LPA. Phase 4 required a full validation report detailing the measures carried out to ensure compliance with any approved remediation scheme in Phase 3 to be submitted to and approved in writing by the LPA. All implemented works shall be maintained in place thereafter.

The luminaire¿s front glazing shall be kept as near to parallel to the ground surface as possible (facing downwards) and shall not exceed 20 degrees from the horizontal (in accordance with the Institution of Lighting Engineers Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obstrusive Light GN01). Reason: To protect the appearance of the area, the environment and wildlife and local residents from light pollution in accordance with Policies G2, EP3 and E9 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
