No development shall commence until a detailed sustainable drainage scheme sufficient for the associated development and any upstream catchments, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. This shall be based on sustainable drainage principles and an assessment of the hydrological and hydrogeological context of the development. No building shall be occupied until the surface drainage works to serve that section of the development have been carried out and completed in accordance with the approved details. The scheme to be submitted shall include: a) Information on proposed discharge rates with the overall discharge from the site restricted to the 1 in 1yr greenfield runoff rate for the worst case 1 in 1yr storm and the QBar greenfield runoff rate for the worst case 1:100yr + 40% storm. b) A compliance report to demonstrate how the scheme complies with the "Local Standards and Guidance for Surface Water Drainage on Major Development in Oxfordshire". c) Detailed hydraulic calculations including node references with consideration for the worst case 1:100 + 40% event based on using the latest FEH input data. d) Fully detailed sustainable surface water drainage layouts. e) Proposed site levels, floor levels and an exceedance plan. f) SUDS features and sections. g) Landscape plans with sustainable drainage features integrated and co-ordinated as appropriate. h) Full drainage construction details. i) A Maintenance and Management Plan covering all surface water drainage and SUDS features. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of surface water drainage and to ensure flooding is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with Policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

No development shall be occupied until confirmation has been provided that either: all fresh water network upgrades required to accommodate the additional demand to serve the development have been completed; or a development and infrastructure phasing plan has been agreed with Thames Water to allow development to be occupied. Where a development and infrastructure phasing plan is agreed no occupation of the new buildings shall take place other than in accordance with the agreed development and infrastructure phasing plan. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of fresh water in accordance with Policy EP4 and ENV12 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 as the development may lead to no / low water pressure and network reinforcement works are anticipated to be necessary to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available to accommodate additional demand anticipated from the new development.

No development shall commence on site until a Construction Method Statement has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The approved Statement shall be adhered to throughout the construction period. The development shall not be carried out otherwise than in accordance with the approved construction methods. The Construction Method Statement shall include the following: a) The parking of vehicles of site operatives and visitors. b) Loading and unloading of plant and materials. c) Storage of plant and materials used in constructing the development. d) The erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays and facilities for public viewing, where appropriate. e) Wheel washing facilities. f) Measures to control the emission of dust and dirt during construction. g) A scheme for recycling/disposing of waste resulting from demolition and construction works. h) Measures for the protection of the natural environment. i) Hours of construction, including deliveries. j) Specific consideration of coordination and measures to avoid conflicts and minimise potential cumulative impacts associated with the construction of the wider development site. Reason: To ensure that the development is not unneighbourly in accordance with Policy DES6 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to first use details and locations of all external plant, machinery and equipment shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall include external ventilation and watering equipment as well as any additional noise attenuation measures.

Measurement and rating of noise for the purposes of this condition shall be in accordance with BS4142 (2014) 'Method for rating industrial and commercial sound'. The measurement location shall be 1 metre from the facade of the nearest noise sensitive receptor. In the event of unacceptable noise or vibration being caused by the installed plant, machinery and equipment, the applicant or persons responsible shall investigate and undertake works to resolve the problem as soon as practicable to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority within a reasonable time frame first agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To protect the occupants of nearby residential properties from loss of amenity due to noise disturbance and in accordance with Policy ENV12 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035. .

Prior to first occupation, the carbon reduction and energy efficiency measures within the approved Energy Statement (Hydrock, 19 July 2021) shall be implemented in full and a Verification Report submitted (with photographic evidence, as appropriate) to demonstrate that the measures have been implemented.
