That approval of the details of the siting, design and external appearance of the building(s) and the landscaping of the site (hereinafter called "the reserved matters") shall be obtained from the Local Planning Authority in writing before any development is commenced. Reason: As the application is not accompanied by details of these matters. That application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the Local Planning Authority before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. That the development hereby permitted shall be begun either before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission, or before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved, whichever is the later. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. A separate schedule of materials and finishes shall be submitted for the residential and employment elements of the site. Each schedule shall be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before the relevant development commences. Reason: To ensure that the details of the development are satisfactory. That no development shall take place until there has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority a scheme of landscaping which shall include indications of all existing trees and hedgerows on the land, and details of any to be retained, together with measures for their protection in the course of development. Reason: To protect local amenities. The landscaping scheme referred to in Condition 5 above shall include the provision of a landscape buffer between the residential and employment elements of the development. This buffer shall be 10 metres wide and shall be a composite of two hedgerows on the outer faces (each with 5 plants per linear metre in two rows, 300mm apart) with the inner central area to incorporate 3 or 4 rows of planting (1.5 metres between rows and 1.5 metres between plants at staggered centres) as space allows. The hedgerows and central planting areas shall each contain 10% of native or naturalised evergreens. Where applicable, fencing or kerbs shall be set back one metre from the outer rows of the hedgerows. On the western boundary of the site, the landscaping scheme shall include the provision of a landscape buffer, minimum 5 metres in width, including the retention of the existing hedgerow which shall be reinforced by additional hedgerow planting and groups of advanced nursery stock trees and this buffer shall be in accordance with details to be submitted to, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, prior to the commencement of any development. Reason: To provide an adequate landscape buffer between the housing and industrial development. That all planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved scheme of landscaping shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the occupation of the buildings or the completion of the development, whichever is the sooner; and any trees or plants which within a period of 5 years from the completion of the development die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species, unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation. Reason: To help to assimilate the development into its surroundings. Before the development is commenced, a detailed site investigation shall be carried out to establish if the site is contaminated, to assess the degree and nature of the contamination present, and to determine its potential for the pollution of the water environment. The method and extent of this investigation shall be agreed with the Planning Authority before the development commences. Details of appropriate measures to prevent pollution of groundwater and surface water, including provisions for monitoring, shall then be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before the development commences. The development shall then proceed in strict accordance with the measures approved. Reason: To prevent pollution of water environment. Prior to the occupation of any of the buildings, the means of access shall be formed, laid out and constructed with 4.5 metre by 120 metre vision splays in accordance with the deposited plan reference JMP/6116/106F and in accordance with Oxfordshire County Council's specification for the construction of estate streets, and all ancillary works therein specified shall be undertaken strictly in accordance with the deposited plan. Reason: In the interest of highway safety and convenience. That notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order), no other means of vehicular access whatsoever shall be formed or used between the land and the highway. Reason: In the interest of highway safety and convenience. Before any of the development is occupied, parking and turning spaces shall be provided in accordance with the adopted standards of the Local Planning Authority, and such spaces shall be kept permanently available for the use of residents, employees and visitors to the site. Reason: In the interest of highway safety and convenience. Development of the employment element of the site shall not begin until there has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority a scheme for external lighting, including security lighting and levels of illumination. Reason: To protect the amenities of the area and of adjacent residents. Before any of the development is occupied the footpath and cycle links across the disused railway line shall be constructed in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure pedestrian and cycle links to the town centre are provided.
