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 immediately to the Local Planning Authority. The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation.

No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with:

1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with the Environment Agency’s ‘Land Contamination: Risk Management’ guidance and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place.

2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.

3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

4. 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 of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site.

Reason: To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in line with policy SWDP31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

---

Before the first use of the development hereby permitted, the details contained in the Energy Statement shall be fully implemented. The measures shall contribute to at least 10% of the predicted energy requirements of the development and shall be retained thereafter. Reason - To ensure the development supports the delivery of low carbon/renewable energy and safeguards natural resources in accordance with policy SWDP27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

---

The development hereby permitted shall not be brought into use until a full Travel Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Travel Plan shall include but not be limited to:-
• the identification of targets for vehicle trip reduction and modal shift from single occupancy car use to walking, cycling and public transport;
• the measures to be implemented to meet these targets including an accessibility strategy to specifically address the needs of employees with limited mobility requirements;
• the timetable/ phasing of the implementation of the Travel Plan and its operation thereafter for a minimum period of five years, including the responsible body for each action;
• the mechanisms for monitoring and review;
• the mechanisms for reporting;
• the remedial measures to be applied in the event that targets are not met;
• mechanisms to secure variations to the Travel Plan following monitoring and reviews; and
• appointment and contact details of a travel plan coordinator.
Thereafter, the Travel Plan shall be implemented, monitored and reviewed in line with the approved details for a minimum period of five years following occupation.
Reason: To reduce single occupancy car travel and provide a genuine alternative for employees to travel by active and sustainable modes of transport in line with SWDP4 and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless:
(a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and
(b) the planning authority has approved the plan.

Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A TCPA 1990 The biodiversity gain plan must include:
(a) information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat;
(b) the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
(c) the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat;
