|---|---|
| 1 | (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (8), no part of the authorised development may commence,save for geotechnical surveys and other investigations for the purpose of assessing ground conditions, until a scheme to deal with the contamination of land, including groundwater, which is likely to cause significant harm to persons or pollution of controlled waters or the environment, has, for that part, been submitted to and, after consultation with the Environment Agency and STDC, approved by the relevant planning authority. (2) The scheme submitted and approved under sub-paragraph (1) must be consistent with the principles set out in Chapter 10 of the environmental statement and any construction environmental management plan submitted under requirement 16(1) and include— (a) a preliminary risk assessment (desk top study) and risk assessment that— (i) is supported by a site investigation scheme; and (ii) identifies the extent of any contamination; (b) an appraisal of remediation options and a proposal of the preferred option where the risk assessment indicates that remediation is required in order for the relevant area of land not to meet the definition of “contaminated land” under Part 2A (contaminated land) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990(a); (c) where the risk assessment carried out under sub-paragraph (a) identifies the need for remediation, a remediation strategy which must include— (i) the preferred option for remediation to ensure that the site will not meet the definition of “contaminated land” under Part 2A contaminated land) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990; and (ii) a verification plan, providing details of the data to be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in the remediation scheme submitted for approval under this sub-paragraph are complete; (d) a materials management plan that is in accordance with the prevailing code of practice relevant to such plans, which sets out long-term measures with respect to any contaminants remaining on the site during and after the authorised development is carried out; (e) details of how any unexpected contamination will be dealt with; (f) an update to the hydrogeological impact assessment including hydrogeological conceptual model that is informed by any further ground investigation reports and groundwater monitoring in addition to the information in Chapter 10 of the environmental statement; (g) a long term monitoring and maintenance plan in respect of contamination, including details of (but not limited to) monitoring of groundwater and surface water, appropriate screening criteria, and a time-table of monitoring and submission of monitoring reports, and which must include any necessary contingency action or mitigation measures arising from the matters reported; and (h) a plan for managing or otherwise decommissioning any boreholes installed for the investigation of soils, groundwater or geotechnical purposes, including details of how redundant boreholes are to be decommissioned in order to prevent risk of groundwater pollution, how any boreholes that need to be retained for monitoring purposes will be secured, protected and inspected, and including a requirement for appropriate validation records within a report to be submitted to demonstrate that all boreholes which are no longer required have been decommissioned in accordance with best practice. (3) The authorised development, including any remediation and monitoring, must be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme unless otherwise agreed with the relevant planning authority following consultation with the Environment Agency. (4) Following the implementation of the remediation strategy approved under sub-paragraph (3), a verification report, based on the data collected as part of the remediation strategy and demonstrating the completion of the remediation measures must be produced and supplied to the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency. (5) Where the verification report produced under sub-paragraph (4) does not demonstrate the completion of the remediation measures, a statement as to how any outstanding remediation measures will be addressed must be supplied to the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency at the same time as the verification report. (6) The outstanding remediation measures must be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the relevant planning authority, after consultation with the Environment Agency and STDC, by the date agreed with that authority. (7) As an alternative to seeking an approval under sub-paragraph (1), the undertaker may instead submit for approval by the relevant planning authority, following consultation with the Environment Agency and STDC, a notification that the undertaker instead intends to rely on any scheme to deal with the contamination of land (including groundwater) which relates to any part of Work Nos. 1, 7, 9A or 10 that has been previously approved by the relevant planning authority pursuant to an application for planning permission or an application to approve details under a condition attached to a planning permission. (8) If a notification under sub-paragraph (7) is— (a) approved by the relevant planning authority following consultation with the Environment Agency then the undertaker must implement the previously approved scheme and an approval under sub-paragraph (1) is not required; or (b) not approved by the relevant planning authority following consultation with the Environment Agency then an approval under sub-paragraph (1) is required. (9) Sub-paragraphs (1) to (8) do not apply to any part of the Order land where the undertaker demonstrates to the relevant planning authority following consultation with the Environment Agency that the relevant part of the Order land is fit for the authorised development through the provision of a remedial validation report (which must include a risk assessment, details of any planning permission under which remediation works were carried out and any ongoing monitoring requirements) and the relevant planning authority notifies the undertaker that it is satisfied that the relevant part of the Order land is fit for the authorised development on the basis of that report. (10) The undertaker must comply with any ongoing monitoring requirements and any activities identified as necessary by the monitoring contained within the documents submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority pursuant to sub-paragraph (9). |
