The agreed mitigation measures shall be implemented in accordance with the timetable. REASON: To ensure the resilience of the migratory fishery is maintained. |
| 33 | (33) The development hereby granted consent shall not be brought into use unless and until the highway improvement works as shown in principle on the Steer Davis Gleave (SDG) drawing numbers 206219 001 REV C; 206219 002 REV E; 206219 003 REV D and 206219 Work_ B have been completed to the written satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority and Highways Agency. REASON: To ensure that the A19, A174, A1053 and A66 trunk roads might continue to fulfil their purpose as part of a national system of routes for through traffic, in accordance with Section 10(2) of the Highways Act 1980, maintaining the safe free flow of traffic on the road. |
| 34 | NOTE: The following development plan policies were relevant to this decision:- Local Development Framework Policy CS4, CS10, CS20, DP2 and DP3 and Policies T16 & EL7 of the Regional Planning Guidance 1 and Policies 22, 7 & 49 of the emerging Regional Spatial Strategy. |
| 35 | REASON FOR DECISION: The proposed development of the container terminal at Teesport accords with regional, sub-regional and local planning policy which seeks to encourage and promote the development of port facilities at Teesport. The location of the application is such that construction works and the operational development will not impact on local residents. Subject to suitable safeguarding conditions and monitoring regimes being set up the proposal will not adversely affect the integrity of the protected areas or have an unacceptable impact on wildlife, water quality or the sedimentary regime. It is considered that there is capacity on the rail network to accommodate additional rail traffic and subject to some junction improvements, the existing road network has sufficient capacity to accommodate additional road traffic. The proposal is therefore acceptable in highway terms. The proposal represents a sustainable form of development, on previously developed land, and one which will have significant economic and social benefits to the Tees Valley and wider region. |
