In connection with the implementation of this permission no construction works shall take place outside the hours of 08:00 to 18:00 Mondays to Fridays and 08:00 to 12:00 on Saturdays. Works shall not take place at all on Sundays or Bank Holidays without the prior written approval of the local planning authority. Reason: to protect the occupants of nearby residential properties from noise and dust disturbance during the development of the site in accordance with Policies EP1 and EP2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P11/E1811/DIS

External lighting will only be permitted in accordance with a lighting scheme to be approved in writing by the local planning authority. Any such lighting shall be directed downwards to prevent nuisance to adjoining residential occupiers from light spillage and shall be turned on only during the conditioned hours of operation and remain off at all other times. Reason: To safeguard the amenity of neighbouring residents and the rural character of the countryside in accordance with Policy EP3 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P11/E1811/DIS

No development shall take place until a detailed prediction of the noise produced has been submitted to and approved, in writing, by the Local Planning Authority. The report must be prepared in accordance with BS4142 (1997) 'Method for rating industrial noise affecting mixed residential and industrial areas'. The report should include: * A large scale plan of the proposed development * Noise sources and measurement/ prediction points marked on plan * Noise levels produced by the air conditioning units etc at the nearest noise sensitive location * The rating level of the noise - is it tonal or intermittent? * The times of operation of the equipment * The background noise level at the nearest noise sensitive location * Details of noise mitigation measures proposed * Description of noise calculation procedure * Comparison of noise levels with appropriate criteria Where necessary, following approval of the noise assessment the applicant must submit a detailed scheme to control the noise produced by the development which must be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved scheme must then be implemented and maintained for the duration of the development. Reason: To ensure that the development is not unneighbourly in accordance with Policies EP1 and EP2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P11/E1811/DIS

All plant, machinery and equipment to be used by reason of the granting of this permission shall be so installed, maintained and operated so as to ensure that the rating noise level from the equipment does not exceed the background noise level at the boundary of the premises. Measurement and rating of noise for the purposes of this condition shall be in accordance with BS4142 (1997) 'Method for rating industrial noise affecting mixed residential and industrial areas'. In the event of unacceptable noise or vibration being caused by the installed plant, machinery and equipment, the applicant or persons responsible shall investigate and carry out works to resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the local planning authority. Reason: To protect the occupants of nearby residential properties from loss of amenity due to noise disturbance and in accordance with Policy EP2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

The hours of operation for the plant equipment shall be restricted 07:00 to 22:00 daily and switched off any other time the hall is not in use. Reason: To protect the occupants of nearby residential properties from loss of amenity due to noise disturbance and in accordance with Policy EP2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Prior to the commencement of any site works or operations relating to the development hereby permitted, an arboricultural method statement to ensure the satisfactory protection of retained trees during the construction period shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Written approval must be obtained prior to commencement of any site works including demolition. The matters to be encompassed within the arboricultural method statement shall include the following: (i) A specification for the pruning of, or tree surgery to, trees to be retained in order to prevent accidental damage by construction activities; (ii) The specification of the location, materials and means of construction of temporary protective fencing and/or ground protection in the vicinity of trees to be retained, in accordance with the recommendations of the current edition of BS 5837 ''Trees in relation to construction'', and details of the timing and duration of its erection; (iii) The definition of areas for the storage or stockpiling of materials, temporary on-site parking, site offices and huts, mixing of cement or concrete, and fuel storage; (iv) The means of demolition any existing site structures, and of the re-instatement of the area currently occupied thereby; (v) The specification of the routing and mean of installation of drainage or any underground services in the vicinity of retained trees; Consideration will be made to avoid the sighting of utilities and service runs within the Root Protection Area (RPA) of all trees to be retained. Only where it can be demonstrated that there is no alternative location for the laying of utilities, will encroachment into the RPA be considered. Methodology for any installation works within the RPA will be provided and must be in compliance with NJUG Volume 4, 2007 'Guidelines for the planning and installation and maintenance of utility apparatus in proximity to trees'. (vi) The details and method of construction of any other structures such as boundary walls in the vicinity of retained trees and how these relate to existing ground levels; (vii) The details of the materials and method of construction of any roadway, parking, pathway or other surfacing within the RPA, which is to be of a 'no dig' construction method in accordance with the principles of Arboricultural Practice Note 12 "Through the Trees to Development'', and in accordance with current industry best practice; and as appropriate for the type of roadway required in relation to its usage. (viii) Provision for the supervision of ANY works within the root protection areas of trees to be retained, and for the monitoring of continuing compliance with the protective measures specified, by an appropriately qualified arboricultural consultant, to be appointed at the developer's expense and notified to the Local Planning Authority, prior to the commencement of development; and provision for the regular reporting of continued compliance or any departure there from to the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To safeguard trees which are visually important in accordance with Policies C9 and D1 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 Agency's '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 adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.

Prior to the commencement of development samples of the materials to be used for the external walls shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure that the details of the development are satisfactory in accordance with Policy D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
