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.
