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.

17.The site is at risk of flooding, hence appropriate measures should be in place to combat any risk to safety of the occupiers of the site and reduction in physical damage, the following measures should be considered; Physical barriers, raised electrical fittings, and special construction materials are just some of the ways you can help reduce flood damage. To find out which measures will be effective for this development, please liaise with the building control department. If you'd like to find out more about reducing flood damage, visit the Flood Risk and Coastal Change pages of the planning practice guidance. Further guidance on flood resistance and resilience measures can also be found in: NESTOR IN PEOPLE Government guidance on flood resilient construction https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/flood-resilient-construction-of-newbuildings CIRIA Code of Practice for property flood resilience https://www.ciria.org/ClRlA/Resources/Free publications/CoP for PFR resource.aspx British Standard 85500 Flood resistant and resilient construction https://shop.bsiqroup.com/ProductDetail/ You are also required to pay attention to Adequacy of rescue or evacuation arrangements Details and adequacy of an emergency plan Provision of and adequacy of a temporary refuge Details and adequacy of flood proofing and other building level resistance an resilience measures Provision of an adequate means of surface water disposal such that flood risk on and off-site isn't increased Flood warning and emergency response.nIn all circumstances where warning and emergency response is fundamental to managing flood risk, we advise local planning authorities to formally consider the emergency planning and rescue implications of new development in making their decisions. You are also advised that to refer to 'Flood risk emergency plans for new development' and undertake appropriate consultation with emergency planners and the emergency services to determine whether the proposals are safe in accordance with paragraph 173 of the NPPF and the guiding principles of the PPG.
