This could include, but not necessarily limited to, the installation of a suitable gas resistant membrane, in compliance with BS 8485:2015+A1:2019, alternative gas protection measures, or suitable monitoring agreed in writing with the local planning authority, to demonstrate that the risk from landfill gas is adequately controlled. The submitted details shall include a timeframe for the carrying out of the approved measures. The gas protection measures shall then be carried out in strict accordance with the agreed details and the approved timeframe for undertaking those works.
