4.    (a) No development (excluding demolition) approved by this permission shall be commenced prior to the submission to, and agreement of the Local Planning Authority of a written preliminary environmental risk assessment (Phase I) report containing a Conceptual Site Model that indicates sources, pathways and receptors. It should identify the current and past land uses of this site (and adjacent sites) with view to determining the presence of contamination likely to be harmful to human health and the built and natural environment.

 

(b) If the Local Planning Authority is of the opinion that the report which discharges condition (a), above, indicates a reasonable likelihood of harmful contamination then no development approved by this permission shall be commenced until a Site Investigation (Phase II environmental risk assessment) report has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority which includes:

 

(i) A full identification of the location and concentration of all pollutants on this site and the presence of relevant receptors, and;

            (ii) The results from the application of an appropriate risk assessment             methodology.

 

(c) No development approved by this permission (other than that necessary for the discharge of this condition) shall be commenced until a Remediation Method Statement report; if required as a result of (b), above; has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority.

 

(d) This site shall not be occupied, or brought into use, until:

 

(i) All works which form part of the Remediation Method Statement report     pursuant to the discharge of condition (c) above have been fully completed           and if required a formal agreement is submitted that commits to ongoing           monitoring and/or             maintenance of the remediation scheme.

 

(ii) A Remediation Verification Report confirming that the site is suitable for use has been submitted to, and agreed by, the Local Planning Authority.

Works shall be temporarily suspended, unless otherwise agreed in writing during this process because the safe development and secure occupancy of the site lies with the developer.

 

Reason: To ensure that the issue of contamination is adequately addressed and to ensure a satisfactory development, in accordance with Core Strategy (2013) Policy CS32 and to comply with paragraphs 174 (e) and (f), 183 and 184 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

4. Obstruction of highway: It is an offence under section 137 of the Highways Act 1980 for any person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way to wilfully obstruct the free passage along a highway or public right of way.
