Prior to
the commencement of the development hereby permitted a Phase I
Report to assess the actual or potential contamination at the site
shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning
authority. If actual or potential contamination and/or ground gas
risks are identified further investigation shall be carried out and
a Phase II report shall be submitted to and approved in writing by
the local planning authority prior to the commencement of the
development. If the Phase II report establishes that remediation or
protection measures are necessary a Remediation Statement shall be
submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning
Authority.
For the
purposes of this condition:
A Phase I
Report consists of a desk study, site walkover, conceptual model
and a preliminary risk assessment. The desk study comprises a
search of
available information and historical maps which can be used to
identify the likelihood of contamination. A simple walkover survey
of the site is conducted to identify pollution linkages not obvious
from desk studies. Using the information gathered, a
'conceptual model' of the site is constructed and a preliminary risk assessment is carried
out.
A Phase II
Report consists of an intrusive site investigation and risk
assessment. The report should make recommendations for further
investigation and assessment where required.
A
Remediation Statement details actions to be carried out and
timescales so that contamination no longer presents a risk to site
users, property, the environment or ecological systems.
Reason: To ensure that the issue of contamination is adequately
addressed and to ensure a satisfactory development.

Resolved:
That planning permission be GRANTED subject to the following
conditions:
|
1
|
The
marquee hereby permitted shall be totally dismantled and
permanently removed from the site on or before 1 January
2020.
Reason: In the interests of safeguarding
the Green Belt in accordance with Policy CS5 of the Dacorum Core
Strategy. The marquee represents inappropriate development in the
Green Belt. Such development is by definition harmful to the Green
Belt. There are very special circumstances for the local planning
authority to support this inappropriate development in the Green
Belt for this specified period. After 1
January 2020 there is no currently evident planning justification
to substantiate marquee's further retention in the Green Belt which
will affect its openness.

|
The
marquee hereby permitted shall only be used for the holding of
functions by the Watermill Hotel for a maximum of 30 events in each
calendar year, with 18 events until 24.00 hours (midnight) and 12
events until 23.00 hours. There shall be no use between 24.00 hours
and 9.00 hours. The number of events held for 2017 shall be
calculated upon those which have taken place between 1 January 2017
and the date of this planning permission.
Reason: To
safeguard the character of this part of the Green Belt countryside
and its local environment, including the residential and canalside
amenity, in accordance with Policies CBS 5 (criteria ii), CS10,
CS12 and CS25 of the Dacorum Core Strategy and saved Policy 106 of
Dacorum Borough Local Plan.

Following
the last use of the marquee subject to this planning permission the
land used for the installation of the marquee shall be reinstated
by re-seeding grass during the planting season starting 1 October
2020. Following this, an ecological
management plan for the land the area shall be carried out fully in
accordance with a scheme submitted to and approved in writing by
the local planning authority.
Reason: In the interests of safeguarding
character and appearance of this part of the Green Belt and
biodiversity in accordance with Polices CS5, CS25 and CS29 Of the
