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) The specification of the construction of the temporary tree protection fencing shown in tree survey (dated June 2014), in accordance with the recommendations of BS5837, and details of the timing and duration of the tree protection shown in tree survey (dated June 2014) ii) A specification for the pruning of, or tree surgery to, trees to be retained in order to prevent accidental damage by construction activities. iii) 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 siting 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'. iv) 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; v) 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. vi) 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.

The development hereby permitted shall be implemented in accordance with the scheme of mitigation/enhancement submitted with the application in all respects (Windrush Ecology 2014 - recommendations p12 - 14). Any variation shall be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority before such change is made. In addition to the measures proposed, no breathable membranes should be used in areas designed to accomodate roosting bats. Only traditional bitumastic underfelt will be used under tiles or weatherboarding where required. This condition will be discharged on receipt of a letter from the project ecologist providing evidence to demonstrate that the mitigation has been completed according to the method statement/approved report. Reason: To protect the important species on the site, in accordance with Policy CSB1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy and Policy C8 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), or ii), 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 iv). 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 preliminary risk assessment, including a site walkover and conceptual site model detailing all potential contaminants, sources and receptors. ii) 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. iii) 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. iv) Validation of the remediation scheme demonstrating the effectiveness of the remediation approved in iii). 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.
