The cycle storage shall be permanently retained thereafter. Reason:- Insufficient information has been supplied with the application to demonstrate what facilities will be available for cycle parking.

11.No works shall take place in relation to any of the development hereby approved until a site investigation is undertaken to assess the level and extent of any landfill gas present, together with an assessment of associated risks. The investigation shall be in accordance with a scheme submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to any development commencing. If during development works any contamination should be encountered which was not previously identified in the Site Investigation then works should halt immediately and the Local Planning Authority consulted to agree appropriate further action. Reason:- The development is situated on or within 250 metres of a current or historic landfill site or gravel pit. Insufficient information has been supplied with the application to judge the risk arising from landfill gas. Submission of an assessment prior to commencement will protect those redeveloping this site and any future occupants from potential landfill gas and will ensure that the development accords with the Development Control Policies Development Plan Document Policies DC54 and DC61.
12.No works shall take place in relation to any of the development hereby approved (except works required to secure compliance with this condition) until the following Contaminated Land reports (as applicable) are submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority: a) A Phase III (Risk Management Strategy) Report if the Phase II Report confirms the presence of a significant pollutant linkage requiring remediation. The report will comprise two parts: Part A - Remediation Scheme which will be fully implemented before it is first occupied. Any variation to the scheme shall be agreed in writing to the Local Planning Authority in advance of works being undertaken. The Remediation Scheme is to include consideration and proposals to deal with situations where, during works on site, contamination is encountered which has not previously been identified. Any further contamination shall be fully assessed and an appropriate remediation scheme submitted to the Local Planning Authority for written approval. Part B - Following completion of the remediation works a 'Validation Report' must be submitted demonstrating that the works have been carried out satisfactorily and remediation targets have been achieved. b) If during development works any contamination should be encountered which was not previously identified and is derived from a different source and/or of a different type to those included in the contamination proposals, then revised contamination proposals shall be submitted to the LPA; and c) If during development work, site contaminants are found in areas previously expected to be clean, then their remediation shall be carried out in line with the agreed contamination proposals. For further guidance see the leaflet titled, 'Land Contamination and the Planning Process'. Reason:- Insufficient information has been supplied with the application to judge the risk arising from contamination. Submission of an assessment prior to commencement will ensure the safety of the occupants of the development hereby permitted and the public generally. It will also ensure that the development accords with Development Control Policies Development Plan Document Policies DC54 and DC61.
13.Prior to the commencement of any works to demolish existing buildings on the site, a bat emergence survey shall be undertaken in accordance with the recommendations set out in paragraph 4.1 of the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal Report dated 20th September 2017 submitted with this application. If roosting bats are discovered, further survey work and mitigation measures are to be undertaken during the course of the development, in accordance with a scheme that shall first be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: Bats are protected species and submission of this information will ensure that the necessary protection is given, to accord with the provisions of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
14.Prior to the first occupation of the development, details shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority for the installation of Ultra-Low N0x boilers with maximum N0x Emissions less than 40 mg/kWh. Where any installations do not meet this emissions standard it should not be operated without the fitting of suitable N0x abatement equipment or technology as determined by a specialist to ensure comparable emissions. The installation of the boilers shall be carried out in strict accordance with the agreed details and shall thereafter be permanently retained. Following installation emissions certificates will need to be provided to the Local Planning Authority to verify boiler emissions. Reason: To minimise the impact of building emissions on local air quality.
15.A)Prior to the commencement of the development, the developer or contractor must be signed up o the Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) register. B)The development must be entered onto the register alongside all the NRMM equipment details C) The register must be kept up to date for the duration of the development D) It is to be ensured that all NRMM complies with the requirements of the directive E)An inventory of the NRMM to be kept on site stating the emissions limits for all its equipment. Reason: Being a major development in Greater London, but outside the NRMM Central Activity Zone, NRMM used on site must meet Stage IIIA of EU Directive 97/68/EC as a minimum.
16.Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: No significant problems were identified during the consideration of the application, and therefore it has been determined in accordance with paragraphs 186-187 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
17.For any development where a flood risk is identified, the Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority want to see developers consider and implement flood resilience/resistance measures into the buildings themselves. This is not to stop development but to ensure the protection for future residents is maintained and enhanced. The following measures are strongly recommended, although this list is not exhaustive:- - Raising the level of the building by at least 300mm above local levels; - Waterproof membrane in the ground floor; - Waterproof plaster and waterproofing to ground floor; - Electrics from the upstairs down and sockets high up off the ground floor; - Non return valves on the sewerage pipes; - Emergency escape plan for each individual property; - Air brick covers; and - Movable flood barriers for entrances
18.The applicant is advised that the London Fire Brigade strongly recommends that sprinklers are considered for new developments and major alterations to existing premises, particularly where the proposals relate to school and care homes. Sprinkler systems installed in buildings can significantly reduce the damaged caused by fire and the consequential cost to businesses and housing providers and reduce the risk to life. The Brigade opinion is that there are opportunities for developers and building owners to install sprinkler systems in order to save money, save property and protect the lives of occupiers.
19.The submitted ecological report indicates the potential for Jersey Cudweed to be present on the site. The applicant is advised that Jersey Cudweed is a legally protected species and the site should be monitored for the presence of the species throughout the development. If the species is detected on the site then a licence application for its removal will be required to be made to Natural England. Such licence application is likely to require the submission of a mitigation and enhancement strategy.
