Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report of the Chief Planner with the deletion of condition 7 and condition 16 replaced with the following:-

’16  The development shall not begin until a scheme for the provision of affordable housing has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The affordable housing shall be provided in accordance with the approved scheme. The scheme shall include:

i)  the numbers, type and location on the site of the affordable housing provision to be made;

ii)  the timing of the construction of the affordable housing;

iii)  the arrangements to ensure that such provision is affordable for both initial and subsequent occupiers of the affordable housing; and

iv) the occupancy criteria to be used for determining the identity of prospective and successive occupiers of the affordable housing, and the means by which such occupancy criteria shall be enforced

REASON: In order to ensure suitable housing provision on site and to accord with Polices H2 and H3 of the Unitary Development Plan.’

The following conditions and informatives were also added:-

’17  Prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted (or such other date or stage in the development as may be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority), the following components of a scheme to deal with the risks associated with contamination of the site shall each be submitted to and approved, in writing, by the Authority:

1.  A preliminary risk assessment which has identified:

  -  all previous uses;

  -  potential contaminants associated with those uses;

  -  a conceptual model of the site indicated sources, pathways and receptors;

  -  potentially unacceptable risks arising from contamination at the site.

2.  A site investigation scheme, based on (1) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site.

3.  The results of the site investigation and detailed risk assessment referred to in (2) and, based on these, an option appraisal and remediation strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken.

4.  A verification plan providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works are set out in the remediation strategy in (3) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action. Any changes to these components require the express consent of the Authority. The scheme shall be implemented as approved.

REASON: To protect vulnerable groundwater resources and ensure compliance with Planning Policy Statement 23 “Planning and Pollution Control.

18  There shall be no infiltration of surface water drainage into the ground other than with the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority, which may be granted if it can be demonstrated that there will be no risk to groundwater. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

REASON: To protect vulnerable groundwater resources and comply with Policy 5.22 of the London Plan.

19  Development shall not begin until a surface and foul water drainage system for the site, based on sustainable drainage principles and as assessment of the hydrological and hydrogeological context of the development, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is first occupied.

The scheme shall include:

• Soakaway design calculations in accordance with BRE365
• Design calculations demonstrating the performance of the system during the critical duration 1 in 100 year storm (with climate change) event
• Non-mains drainage assessment

REASON: To prevent the increased risk of flooding and improve and protect water quality, to comply with Policies 5.12, 5.13 and 5.22 of the London Plan.’

INFORMATIVES

4  Where it is proposed to store more than 200 litres (45 gallon drum = 205 litres) of any type of oil on site it must be stored in accordance with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001. Drums and barrels can be kept in drip trays if the drip tray is capable of retaining 25% of the total capacity of all oil stored.

5  Care should be taken during and after construction to ensure that all fuels, oils and any other potentially contaminating materials are stored (for example in bunded areas secured from public access) so as to prevent accidental/unauthorised discharge to ground. The areas for storage should not drain to any surface water system.
