The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved. Reasons No investigation can completely characterise a site and areas of previously unidentified gross contamination may exist at the site. Unidentified gross contamination could potentially present an unacceptable risk to human health and controlled waters.
6.Condition 1 - Verification Report Prior to any part of the site being brought into use a verification report demonstrating the completion of works set out in the remediation strategy and the effectiveness of the remediation shall be submitted to, and approved in writing, by the local planning authority. The report shall include results of sampling and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved verification plan to demonstrate that the site remediation criteria have been met. Reasons To ensure that the site does not pose any further risk to human health or the water environment by demonstrating that the requirements of the approved verification plan have been met and that remediation of the site is complete. This is in line with paragraph 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
7.2 Groundwater Monitoring Plan The environmental improvement works hereby permitted may not commence until a groundwater monitoring and maintenance plan in respect of contamination, including a timetable of monitoring and submission of reports to the Local Planning Authority, has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority.

The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved. Reasons No investigation can completely characterise a site and areas of previously unidentified gross contamination may exist at the site. Unidentified gross contamination could potentially present an unacceptable risk to human health and controlled waters.
9.Condition 4 - Decommissioning of boreholes A scheme for managing any borehole installed for the investigation of soils, groundwater or geotechnical purposes shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall provide details of how redundant boreholes are to be decommissioned and how any boreholes that need to be retained, post-development, for monitoring purposes will be secured, protected and inspected. The scheme as approved shall be implemented prior to the occupation of the permitted development. Reasons To ensure that redundant boreholes are safe and secure, and do not cause groundwater pollution in line with paragraph 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework and The Environment Agency's approach to groundwater protection. Advice
10.Statement Required by Article 35(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management) Order 2015: No significant problems were identified during the consideration of the application, the applicant has agreed with the pre-commencement condition and therefore it has been determined in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
11.The Local Planning Authority wishes to ensure that adequate arrangements are made to allow an archaeological "watching brief" to take place during all new foundation and other below-ground works and excavation phases of the development. The purpose of the watching brief is to ensure that any agreed design measures to preserve the archaeological remains in situ are correctly implemented on site and to allow investigation and recording of any archaeological evidence that might be revealed in areas not covered by preservation measures. Written Schemes of investigation will need to be prepared and implemented by a statutory qualified professionally accredited archaeological practice in accordance with Historic England's Guidelines for Archaeological Projects in Greater London. This condition is exempt from deemed discharge under schedule 6 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
12.Informative - Waste on-site The CL:AIRE Definition of Waste: Development Industry Code of Practice (version 2) provides operators with a framework for determining whether or not excavated material arising from site during remediation and/or land development works is waste or has ceased to be waste. Under the Code of Practice: excavated materials that are recovered via a treatment operation can be reused on-site providing they are treated to a standard such that they are fit for purpose and unlikely to cause pollution ÿ¯¿· treated materials can be transferred between sites as part of a hub and cluster project ÿ¯¿· some naturally occurring clean material can be transferred directly between sites Developers should ensure that all contaminated materials are adequately characterised both chemically and physically, and that the permitting status of any proposed on-site operations are clear. If in doubt, the Environment Agency should be contacted for advice at an early stage to avoid any delays. We recommend that developers should refer to: ÿ¯¿· the position statement on the Definition of Waste: Development Industry Code of Practice ÿ¯¿· The waste management page on GOV.UK
13.Waste to be taken off-site Contaminated soil that is (or must be) disposed of is waste. Therefore, its handling, transport, treatment and disposal are subject to waste management legislation, which includes: ÿ¯¿· Duty of Care Regulations 1991 ÿ¯¿· Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 ÿ¯¿· Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 ÿ¯¿· The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 Developers should ensure that all contaminated materials are adequately characterised both chemically and physically in line with British Standard BS EN 14899:2005 'Characterization of Waste - Sampling of Waste Materials - Framework for the Preparation and Application of a Sampling Plan' and that the permitting status of any proposed treatment or disposal activity is clear. If in doubt, the Environment Agency should be contacted for advice at an early stage to avoid any delays. If the total quantity of hazardous waste material produced or taken off-site is 500kg or greater in any 12 month period, the developer will need to register with us as a hazardous waste producer. Refer to the hazardous waste pages on GOV.UK for more information.
