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): P14/S2706/DIS

That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, 002 (Site Survey), 001 (Site Location Plan), 003 (Existing Plans), PL02 Rev A (Existing and Proposed Site Plans), PL04 Rev A (Proposed Overall GA Ground Floor Plan), PL05 Rev A (Proposed Elevations), PL06 Rev A (Proposed Elevations), PL010 Rev A (External Perspective Views) 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. Related application(s): P14/S2706/DIS

Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved samples of all materials to be used in the external construction and finishes of the development hereby permitted shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of the visual appearance of the development in accordance with Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policies G2 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P14/S2706/DIS

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 BS 5837 'Trees in relation to design, demolition and 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 of any existing site structures, and of the re-instatement of the area currently occupied thereby; (v) The specification of the routing and means of installation of drainage or any underground services in the vicinity of retained 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. Thereafter the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details with the agreed measures being kept in place during the entire course of development. Reason: To safeguard trees which are visually important in accordance with Policy CSQ3 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policies G2, 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 South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
