Planning Permission on 5th January 2011
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Related application(s): P11/E1268/DIS

That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, 1174.00.01.A and 1174.00.02.A, except as controlled or modified by conditions of this permission. Reason: To secure the proper planning of the area in accordance with Development Plan policies.

The exterior of the double garage hereby permitted shall only be constructed in the materials specified on the plans hereby approved or in materials which shall previously have been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of the appearance of the development in accordance with Policies G2, G6, D1 and H13 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

The existing barn on the application site shall be demolished prior to the commencement of development in relation to the garage hereby approved, and all resultant debris from the demolition works shall be removed from the site. Reason: In the interests of the appearance of the site in accordance with Policies G2, G6, D1 and H13 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) the provision within the application site of any building (except for the approved garage), enclosure or swimming pool as described in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Order shall not be undertaken without the prior written permission of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To protect the open appearance of the site in accordance with Policies G2, G6 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

The field gates shown on drawing 1174.00.02.A shall be provided such that they only open inwards into the site. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and convenience in accordance with Policy T1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Prior to the first use of the proposed garage, the parking and turning areas shall be provided in accordance with the submitted plan Drawing 1174.00.02.A, and shall be constructed, laid out, surfaced, drained and completed, and shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking of vehicles at all times. Reason: In the interest of highway safety and in accordance with Policies T1 and T2 and Appendix 5 (Car Parking Standards) of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority LPA, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme must not commence until phases i) to iv) have been complied with, or further works have been deemed unnecessary as a result of conclusions based on risk assessments during phases i), ii) or iii), and this has been agreed upon in writing by the LPA. Document(s) detailing the works undertaken in each phase must be submitted to and approved by the LPA in writing before any other phase commences, and before occupation of any building in relation to phase v). All phases of investigation must be designed and conducted in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agencys Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11. i) A South Oxfordshire District Council contaminated land statement questionnaire. ii) A preliminary risk assessment, including a site walkover and conceptual site model detailing all potential contaminants, sources and receptors. iii) An intrusive site investigation to assess the type, nature, extent and risk(s) of any contamination identified in ii), whether or not it originates on site. It is recommended that the LPA are consulted on proposals. iv) A detailed remediation scheme, to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use. The scheme shall include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, a timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme shall also ensure that after remediation the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990. v) Validation of the remediation scheme demonstrating the effectiveness of the remediation approved in iv). If contamination is found during the course of development that was not previously identified, the development must be halted on that part of the site to the extent specified by the LPA and until the LPA are satisfied that all necessary phases above have been undertaken. Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with Policy EP8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Floor levels within the garage shall be set no lower than existing levels and there shall be no raising of land levels within the application site or permanent storage of materials on the application site. Reason: To reduce flood risk in accordance with PPS25.
