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): P16/S2703/DIS

That the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the details shown on the following approved plans, PL01, PL02A, PL03A, PL04A, PL05A, PL06A, PL07A, PL08A, PL09A, PL10A and PL11A, 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): P16/S2703/DIS

Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved samples of the materials to be used for the external walls and roofs 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 Policies CSQ3 and CSEN1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policy G2, H4 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P16/S2703/DIS

Prior to the commencement of development detailed plans showing the existing and proposed ground levels of the site together with the slab and ridge levels of the proposed development, relative to a fixed datum point on adjoining land outside of the application site, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason: In the interests of the visual appearance of the development in accordance with Policies CSQ3 and CSEN1 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy 2027 and Policy G2, H4 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P16/S2703/DIS

Prior to the first occupation of the dwellings vision splays measuring 2.4 metres by 43 metres shall be provided to each side of the access. Reason: In the interest of highway safety in accordance with Policies H4, T1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011. Related application(s): P16/S2703/DIS

The cill level of the roof lights in the North East and South West elevations shall either be at least 1.7 metres above the floor level of the associated rooms or shall be obscure glazed and fixed shut. The roof lights shall be retained as such thereafter. Reason: To ensure that the development is not unneighbourly in accordance with Policies H4 and D4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, the parking and turning areas shall be provided in accordance with the approved plan 898 PL02A and shall be constructed, laid out, surfaced, drained and completed, and 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 in accordance with Policies H4, T1 and T2 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

Prior to the commencement of any site works (including demolition or site clearance) a protected area shall be designated for all existing trees which are shown to be retained, and the trees shall be protected in accordance with a scheme which complies with the current edition of BS 5837: "Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction" that shall first have been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The agreed measures shall be 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.

That a scheme for the landscaping of the site, including the planting of live trees and shrubs, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted. The scheme shall be implemented as approved within 12 months of the commencement of the approved development and thereafter be maintained in accordance with the approved scheme. In the event of any of the trees or shrubs so planted dying or being seriously damaged or destroyed within 5 years of the completion of the development, a new tree or shrub or equivalent number of trees or shrubs, as the case may be, of a species first approved by the Local Planning Authority, shall be planted and properly maintained in a position or positions first approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To help to assimilate the development into its surroundings 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.
