This application has been approved

The following conditions and information notes are associated with the approval


Development, other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation, shall not commence until Parts 1 to 6 have been complied with: Part 1 A preliminary risk assessment shall be carried out. This study shall take the form of a Phase I desk study and site walkover and shall include the identification of previous site uses, potential contaminants that might reasonably be expected given those uses and any other relevant information. A preliminary risk assessment report including:- - a diagrammatical representation (conceptual model) based on the information above; and - all potential contaminants, sources and receptors to determine whether a site investigation is required shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of construction works on the development hereby approved. Part 2 Where an unacceptable risk is identified and prior to the commencement of construction work on the development hereby permitted a scheme for detailed site investigation shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be designed to assess the nature and extent of any contamination and shall be led by the findings of the preliminary risk assessment. Part 3 Where part 2 applies, a detailed site investigation and risk assessment shall be undertaken in accordance with the approved scheme required under Part 2 and a written report of the findings produced, submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The investigation/assessment shall be approved prior to the commencement of construction works on the development hereby approved. Part 4 Where identified as necessary in the report approved under Part 3, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors shall be produced, submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall include an implementation programme. The scheme shall be approved prior to the commencement of construction works on the development hereby approved. Part 5 The remediation scheme approved under Part 4 shall be carried out in accordance with the approved implementation programme. Part 6 Following the completion of the measures identified in the remediation scheme approved under Part 4, a validation report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out shall be produced, submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. None of the development hereby approved shall be occupied/first used until the validation report has been approved. Part 7 In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified in the report approved under Part 3, construction works shall cease and this shall be reported immediately in writing to the Local Planning Authority. In such circumstances an investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken and a revised remediation scheme must be produced, submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Development works shall not resume until the revised remediation scheme has been approved in writing. The measures as set out in the revised remediation scheme shall be carried out. Following the completion of any measures identified in the approved revised remediation scheme a validation report must be produced, submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. None of the development hereby approved shall be occupied/first used until the validation report has been approved. Reason: To ensure that the proposed development avoids significant adverse impacts from pollution in accordance with policy SWDP31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.


The Development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until the access, parking and turning facilities have been provided as shown on drawing 3349 p1.

Reason - In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway in accordance with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.


The Development hereby permitted shall not be first occupied until the proposed dwellings have been fitted with an electric vehicle charging point. The charging points shall comply with BS EN 62196 Mode 3 or 4 charging and BS EN 61851 and the Worcestershire County Council Streetscape Design Guide. The electric vehicle charging points shall be retained for the lifetime of the development unless they need to be replaced in which case the replacement charging point(s) shall be of the same specification or a higher specification in terms of charging performance.

REASON: To encourage sustainable travel and healthy communities in accordance with Policy SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. NPPF Paragraphs 105 and 110 of the NPPF state; ’If setting local parking standards for residential and non-residential development, policies should take into account the need to ensure an adequate provision of spaces for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles’ and ‘Applications for development should be designed to enable charging of plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles in safe, accessible and convenient locations.’


The Development hereby permitted shall not be first occupied until sheltered and secure cycle parking to comply with the Council’s adopted highway design guide has been provided in accordance with details which shall first be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and thereafter the approved cycle parking shall be kept available for the parking of bicycles only.

REASON: To comply with the Council’s parking standards in accordance with Policies SWDP 4 and SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.


Work should avoid disturbance to nesting birds. Nesting birds are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. The main nesting season lasts approximately from March to September, so work should take place outside these dates if at all possible. However, birds can nest at any time and the site including any buildings should ideally be checked for their presence immediately before work starts.


This permission does not authorise the applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by the County Council’s Approved Contractor, Ringway Infrastructure Service who can be contacted by email [email protected]. The applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access.


The applicant's attention is drawn to the need to ensure that the provision of the visibility splay(s) required by this consent is safeguarded in any sale of the application site or part(s) thereof.
