Conditions / Refusal Reasons
Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved a turning area and car parking spaces shall be provided within the curtilage of the site so that motor vehicles may enter, turn round and leave in a forward direction and vehicles may park off the highway. The turning area and parking spaces shall be constructed, laid out, surfaced, drained and completed in strict accordance with specification details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development. The turning area and car parking spaces shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking and manoeuvring of motor vehicles at all times.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the provision of off-street car parking in accordance with Policies T1 and T2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
Prior to the commencement of development a detailed plan showing provision for two car parking spaces to be accommodated within the site, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and such parking facilities shall be laid out, surfaced, drained and completed in accordance with the approved details prior to the first occupation of the development hereby permitted. Thereafter the car parking spaces shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking of vehicles associated with the development at all times.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the provision of off-street car parking in accordance with Policies T1 and T2 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.
