Environmental And Community Protection (DBC)

Having reviewed the documentation submitted with the above planning application and having considered the information held the by ECP team I have the   following advice and recommendations in relation to land contamination.   

The development, if permitted, will not result in a change of land use and there is no former land use on or immediately adjacent to the application site that would be expected to result in ground contamination. However, the application includes the relocation of an oil tank.   

As such, it is considered that the following contaminated land informative shall be sufficient, if planning permission is to be granted. This highlights the potential for unexpected contamination arising from the oil tank and associated pipework to be encountered and if present for it to be dealt with in an appropriate way. 

           

Informative     

Should any ground contamination be encountered during the relocation of the oil tank and associated pipework, works shall be temporarily suspended, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority, and a Contamination Remediation Scheme shall be submitted to (as soon as practically possible) and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The Contamination Remediation Scheme shall detail all measures required to render this contamination harmless and all approved measures shall subsequently be fully implemented prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved.       

           

Should it be needed, for guidance on the appropriate installation of new domestic oil storage please refer to the following webpage

Confirming our meeting, we agreed that, given the fact it could not be moved back from the front elevation satisfactorily, the rebuilding of the bootroom was acceptable, with the configuration of the altered roof as shown with twin gables.         

With the proposed rooflight to the main range now omitted from the application,  this removes one of the original objections.     

On another matter, it was noted that the newly rebuilt gables to the east elevation had not been finished as shown on the approved drawings, and that this would form a separate application to regularise the changes.
