The design of the surface water drainage system will be in accordance with the non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems, including details of the levels, size, position and construction of drainage works. The drainage scheme shall be sized to accommodate a minimum of the worst case 1 in 30 year storm, with evidence to demonstrate that the site can accommodate the worst case 1:100 year storm + 40% Climate Change storm, without any flows exiting up to this storm event and any storage on site not causing a nuisance or flooding to property. The approved scheme shall be implemented inaccordance with the approved details prior to the occupation of the development hereby approved.

The drainage scheme shall include details of method, levels, size, position and construction of the drainage scheme and must be designed in accordance with the latest sewers for adoption guidance provided by Thames Water. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of foul water drainage and to ensure flooding and pollution is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the occupation of any dwellings, a SUDS Compliance report prepared by an appropriately qualified Engineer must be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority.

These measures shall be retained and maintained as such thereafter in accordance with the Energy Statement and Verification Report. Reason: To ensure high standards of sustainable design and construction in accordance with Policy DES10 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the first occupation of the dwellings hereby approved, a scheme to provide the plot 1 dwelling with an Electric Vehicle Charging Points shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Phase 3 requires that a remediation strategy be submitted to and approved by the LPA to ensure the site will be rendered suitable for its proposed use. Reason: To ensure that any ground, water and associated gas contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and to ensure the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy ENV11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.
