This application has been approved

The following conditions and information notes are associated with the approval


Unless where required or allowed by other conditions attached to this permission/consent, the development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the information (including details on the proposed materials) provided on the application form and the following plans/drawings/documents –
2656 – P1
2656 – P2
2656 – P3 A
2656 – S1
2656 – S2

Reason: To define the permission in accordance with Policy SWDP1 and SWDP2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.


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 SWDP31, and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.


The Development hereby approved shall not be occupied until an area has been laid out within the curtilage of the dwelling for the parking of 2 cars at a gradient not exceeding 1 in 8. This area shall thereafter be retained for the purpose of parking a vehicle only.
REASON: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the free flow of traffic using the adjoining highway in accordance with policies SWDP4 & SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.


The development hereby approved shall not be occupied until sheltered and secure cycle parking to comply with the Council’s adopted highway design guide has been provided 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 SWDP4 & SWDP21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan (2016) and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.


Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary.
