| 3 | Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority in writing, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation must not commence until parts (a) to (c) have been complied with. This excludes any agreed remediation/mitigation measures provided by the development itself such as surface cover systems, gas protection systems, etc. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the Local Planning Authority in writing until condition (e) has been complied with in relation to that contamination. (a) Site Characterisation An investigation and risk assessment, in addition to any assessment provided with the planning application, must be completed in accordance with a scheme to assess the nature and extent of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The contents of the scheme are subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The written report is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. The report of the findings must include: (i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination; (ii) an assessment of the potential risks to: • human health, • property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes, • adjoining land, • groundwaters and surface waters, • ecological systems, • archaeological sites and ancient monuments; (iii) an appraisal of remedial options, and proposal of the preferred option(s). This must be conducted in accordance with Environment Agency’s Land Contamination Risk Management Guidance (b) Submission of Remediation Scheme A detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property and the natural and historical environment must be prepared, and is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. (c) Implementation of Approved Remediation Scheme The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This excludes any agreed remediation/mitigation measures provided by the development itself such as surface cover systems, gas protection systems, etc. The Local Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority prior to the operation of the development. (d) Reporting of Unexpected Contamination In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of part (a) and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of part (b), which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. REASON: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: The information is required prior to any works commencing on site it relates to land contamination details which are often the first works on site and relate to site preparation. |
| 4 | Within 28 days of the site becoming operational noise measurements at the nearest residential noise sensitive receptor to the site (Marsh Farm House), must be undertaken in accordance with British Standard 4142. The results shall be submitted to the local planning authority within three months from the date of the site becoming operational, including details of any remedial works and a programme for implementation of this remediation. Any remedial works must be carried out in accordance with the approved programme for implementation and the noise measurements must be repeated and submitted to the local planning authority for approval following completion of remedial works to demonstrate that the noise levels do not exceed a level of 5 dB above either the daytime (07:00 to 23:00 hours) or night-time (23:00 to 07:00 hours) background sound level, unless otherwise agreed with the local planning authority in writing. Reason: In the interests of protecting noise sensitive receptors from adverse noise impacts. |
| 5 | Prior to the commencement of construction details of a detailed dust mitigation strategy for the construction phase of the development shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval in writing. The approved strategy shall be implemented in its entirety and maintained throughout the period of construction. REASON: In the interests of minimising dust emissions and protecting neighbour amenity. |
| 6 | No development shall take place until all borehole logs and trial pit data carried out as part of ground investigation works have been reviewed by a competent archaeologist in accordance with a written scheme previously approved by the local planning authority. The written scheme shall provide as a minimum that the competent archaeologist shall produce a report on the significance of the logs and data to assist in determining whether an archaeological watching brief (or other work) is required of ground disturbance during the remediation works and during construction groundworks in any areas identified as of archaeologically interest. Before construction or remediation takes place, and where the local planning authority determines that a watching brief or other archaeological work is required during remediation and/or construction, the developer shall secure such work according to a written scheme of investigation (WSI) approved by the local planning authority for the purpose. The developer shall thereafter carry out the approved scheme. REASON: to ensure that any archaeological interest is appropriately recorded. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: A pre-commencement condition is required to ensure that no remains are disturbed or otherwise compromised by site excavation of other ground works. |
| 7 | Prior to the commencement of the development, or in such extended time as may be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority, details shall be submitted and approved of the surface water drainage scheme and the development shall be completed in accordance with the approved scheme. The design of the drainage scheme shall include; (i) Restriction of surface water greenfield run-off rates (QBAR value) with sufficient storage within the system to accommodate a 1 in 30 year storm. (ii)The method used for calculation of the existing greenfield run-off rate shall be the ICP SUDS method. The design shall also ensure that storm water resulting from a 1 in 100 year event, plus climate change surcharging the system, can be stored on site with minimal risk to persons or property and without overflowing into drains, local highways or watercourses. (iii) Full Micro Drainage design files (mdx files) including a catchment plan (iv) The flow path of flood waters for the site as a result on a 1 in 100 year event plus climate change REASON: To ensure the development is supported by a suitably designed surface water disposal infrastructure scheme and to minimise the risk flooding in the locality. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: The information is required prior to any works commencing on site it relates to drainage details which are often the first works on site and relate to site preparation. |
| 8 | Prior to the commencement of the development, or in such extended time that may be agreed with the Local Planning Authority, details of a Surface Water Drainage Management and Maintenance Plan shall be submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The Management Plan shall include; (i) The timetable and phasing for construction of the drainage system (ii) Details of any control structure(s) (iii) Details of surface water storage structures (iv) Measures to control silt levels entering the system and out falling into any watercourse during the construction process (v) A plan clearly identifying the sections of surface water system that are to be adopted (vi) Arrangements for the short and long term maintenance of the SuDS elements of the surface water system The development shall, in all respects, be carried out in accordance with the approved Management Plan. REASON: To ensure the development is supported by an appropriately designed surface water disposal infrastructure scheme and to minimise the risk of increased flooding and contamination of the system during the construction process. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: The information is required prior to any works commencing on site it relates to drainage details which are often the first works on site and relate to site preparation. |
| 9 | Prior to the installation of the surface water outfall a scour impact assessment and mitigation scheme, including long-term design objectives of the proposed outfall, management responsibilities and maintenance schedules should be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. The outfall shall therefore be implemented in accordance with the approved scheme, unless otherwise agreed in writing. REASON: Development that encroaches on the River Tees estuary should be adequately assessed. The Tees Lower and Estuary TraC (GB510302509900) has an overall water body status of ‘moderate’ with an ecological status of ‘moderate’ and a chemical status of ‘fail’. The water body is heavily modified for flood protection and navigation, ports and harbours and therefore seeks to attain Good Ecological Potential (GEP). |
| 10 | To maintain fish passage during construction, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the following is required in respect to piling: • Between the 1 March and 30 November, in any given year, no percussive piling shall take place for 3 hours following low water to allow migration of adult salmon and sea trout on the flood tide. • During the month of May, in any given year, no percussive piling shall take place. If this is impossible, then no piling of any type should take place for the first 5-hours of the ebbing tide to allow migration of juvenile salmon and seat trout. Reason: The act of piling has the potential to affects runs of migratory fish. It has been established that fish are very sensitive to noise and vibration disturbance which can be transmitted through the water column. Piling work is likely to cause this type of noise disturbance that could affect fish migration through this section of the river. |
| 11 | Prior to the commencement of the development, a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved Plan shall be adhered to throughout the construction period. The CEMP shall provide details of the following; (a) construction noise and vibration management including piling methodology; (b) water management (surface water and groundwater); (c) the mechanism for the public to communicate with the construction teams, including contact details; and (d) management and mitigation of artificial light emissions. (e) The parking of vehicles for site operatives and visitors; (f) Loading and unloading of plant and material (g) Traffic management and storage of plant and materials used in constructing the development (h) The erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays (i) Wheel washing facilities (j) Measures to control the emission of noise dust and vibration during the construction period (k) Measures for recycling/disposing of waste resulting from demolition and construction works. REASON: To protect the amenity of nearby commercial operators and in the interests of highway safety. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: The CEMP is required to be approved in advance of the commencement of development as the information required relates to mitigating the environmental impact of the development relating the commencement of engineering works. |
| 12 | Prior to the commencement of the development, a detailed scheme for the disposal of foul water from the development hereby approved shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with Northumbrian Water and the Lead Local Flood Authority. Thereafter the development shall take place in accordance with the approved details. REASON: To prevent the increased risk of flooding from any sources in accordance with the NPPF. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: A pre-commencement condition is required to ensure that excavations and groundworks do not compromise the installation of the approved surface water or foul drainage infrastructure. |
| 13 | Prior to the first occupation of the completed development, a Framework Travel Plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved Travel Plan, unless otherwise agreed in writing. REASON: to ensure that the end users can make an informed choice as to the method of sustainable transport. |
| 14 | Prior to the commencement of development plans showing the existing and proposed ground levels over the site together with finished floor levels and maximum building heights shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be completed in accordance with the approved details. REASON: To ensure a satisfactory relationship between existing and proposed buildings in accordance with policy SD4 of the Local Plan. REASON FOR PRE-COMMENCEMENT: The information is required prior to any works commencing on site as construction activity and site preparation can change existing levels resulting in increased ground levels which the authority needs to consider. |
| 15 | There shall be no site vegetation clearance between 1st March to the 31st August unless an ecologist, whose professional details and qualifications have first been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority, has first undertaken a checking survey immediately prior to the clearance and confirms in writing to the local planning authority that no active nests are present. REASON; To ensure that there is no disturbance or destruction of the habitats of nesting birds during the construction process. |
| 16 | The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordacne with the landscaping strategy set out in Figure 6.9 of the Environmental Statement and Drawing No. 100/6.9 Rev B received by the Local Planning Authority on 03/08/2020 unless otherwise agreed in wirthing with the Local Planning Authority. REASON: To ensure the development does not have sifnincat adverse visual impacts on its surroundings in accrodance with polices SD4 and N1 of the Local Plan. |
| 17 | Prior to the occupation of development, a Lighting Strategy will be submitted to approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
