whereupon it was:

 

Resolved:

 

That planning permission be granted, in line with the Officer’s recommendation with removed and reworded conditions:

 

Reworded condition 6:

“Other than the demolition of Blocks K and L, the following additional details of both hard and soft landscape works shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority prior to the commencement of development.  These details shall include:

  • means of enclosure; 
  • details of cultivation and other operations associated with plant and grass establishment
  • minor artefacts and structures (e.g. furniture, refuse or other storage units, signs, lighting etc);
  • proposed and existing functional services above and below ground (e.g. drainage, power, communications cables, pipelines etc, indicating lines, manholes, supports etc);

 

The other items will be carried out in accordance with the approved plans. The approved landscape works shall be carried out within the first planting season following the completion of the development permitted.

Once approved the scheme be implemented fully in accordance with the approved plans and details unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.”

 

Reworded Condition 7:

“Notwithstanding the details submitted for the temporary car park and prior to occupation of the site, full details of both hard and soft landscape works shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.  These details shall include:

  • hard surfacing materials - indicated on the landscape plan - detailed manufactures spec and samples to be provided)
  • natural vegetation and planting (including cultivation and other operations associated with plant and grass establishment); schedules of plants, noting species, plant sizes and proposed numbers/densities where appropriate - none proposed (existing trees retained)
  • full details including elevational details of cycle parking - To be provided
  • full details including elevation details of refuse storage - see drawing DT(90)01
  • proposed finished levels or contours - To be provided
  • any other minor details - (assume none)

 

The approved landscape works shall be carried out within the first planting season following development.”

Revised Condition 11

 

  

“Nothwithstanding the information provided and apart from the demolition of Blocks K and L, no development shall commence on site until a surface water drainage scheme for the site, based on sustainable drainage principles and an assessment of the hydrological and hydro geological context of the development, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The drainage strategy should demonstrate the surface water run-off generated up to and including the critical storm event will not exceed the run-off from the undeveloped site following the corresponding rainfall event and provide pre-development greenfield run-off rates where possible. The scheme shall subsequently be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is completed.

The scheme shall also include:

1.    Detailed pre and post development surface water run-off rate calculations for all rainfall events up to and including the 1 in 100 year + climate change event.

2.    Detailed pre and post development surface water volume calculations for all rainfall events up to and including the 1 in 100 year + climate change event.

3.    Surface water calculations including all impermeable and permeable areas to provide a total volume and surface water run-off rates

4.    Provide betterment by achieving greenfield run-off rates where possible

5.    Provide a sustainable drainage system prioritising above ground methods such as ponds, swales etc.

6.    Provide source control measures such as permeable paving, infiltration trenches to ensure surface water run-off from the proposed car parking and roads can be treated in a sustainable manner and reduce the requirement for maintenance of underground features.

7.    Final detailed drainage strategy including a detailed drainage which sets out the final development layout.

8.         Details of the proposed informal surface water flooding including the return rainfall event it will flood, the location it will flood and expected depths of flooding.

9.   Full details demonstrating how the development will utilise sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) or reason given as to why there are practical reasons for not doing so. Details should include the aim to achieve greenfield run-off rates and ensure that surface water run-off is managed as close to its source as possible in line with the following drainage hierarchy:

 

(i) store rainwater for later use

(ii) 2 use infiltration techniques, such as porous surfaces in non-clay areas

(iii) attenuate rainwater in ponds or open water features for gradual release

(iv) attenuate rainwater by storing in tanks or sealed water features for gradual release

(v) discharge rainwater direct to a watercourse 6 discharge rainwater to a surface water sewer/drain “

17.Notwithstanding any details already submitted prior to the occupation of the development hereby permitted full details (in the form of scaled plans and / or written specifications) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Highway Authority to illustrate the following:

 

a)

i) Roads, footways, and on-site water drainage,
