The installation of the boilers shall be carried out in strict accordance with these details and shall thereafter be permanently retained. Reason:- To minimise the impact of building emissions on local air quality.
12.The proposed development shall achieve a Certificate of Compliance in respect of the Secured by Design scheme, or alternatively achieve security standards (based on Secured by Design principles) to the satisfaction of the Metropolitan Police, details of which shall be provided to the Local Planning Authority and approved in writing prior to the first occupation of the approved development.

This is an intrusive site investigation including factors such as chemical testing, quantitative risk assessment and a description of the site ground conditions. An updated Site Conceptual Model should be included showing all the potential pollutant linkages and an assessment of risk to identified receptors. c) 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. d) 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 e) 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.

Reason: - Insufficient information has been supplied with the application to judge sustainability of the development. The approval of details prior to commencement of the use is necessary to ensure that a high standard of sustainable construction and environmental performance is achieved in accordance with Policy 36 of the Local Plan 2021.
16.No demolition of existing structures shall take place until a Preliminary Roost Assessment for bats has been undertaken by a suitably qualified ecologist. Should evidence of bat activity or potential roosting features be identified, a full Emergence/Activity Survey shall be carried out, and the results submitted to the local planning authority for approval. Any necessary mitigation measures shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details.
