| In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported immediately to the Local Planning Authority.
The applicant is advised to immediately seek the advice of an independent geo-environmental consultant experienced in contaminated land risk assessment, including intrusive investigations and remediation.
No further works should be undertaken in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to be carried out as part of an approved remediation scheme, unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, until requirements 1 to 4 below have been complied with:
1. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons in accordance with the Environment Agency's 'Land Contamination: Risk Management' guidance and a written report of the findings produced. The risk assessment must be designed to assess the nature and extent of suspected contamination and approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any further development taking place.
2. Where identified as necessary, a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land
after remediation.
3. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the re-commencement of any site works in the areas of suspected contamination, other than that work required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
4. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings on site.
REASON: To ensure that the risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property, and ecosystems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.

| The attention of the applicant is drawn to the need to keep the highway free from any mud or other material emanating from the application site during the construction phase of the development. |
| The development shall be carried out in accordance with the safe working practices and recommendations of the submitted Preliminary Ecological Appraisal and Great Crested Newt Survey. |
| The access for the proposed property would appear to be via footpath WR-628 and the landowner should be aware of the following:
It should be noted that under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 any person who, without lawful authority, drives a motor vehicle on a public right of way commits an offence. The applicant should make themselves satisfied that they, and anyone else who may use public rights of way for private vehicular access in connection with the development, has a right to do so. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter. The County Council (WCC) is responsible for maintaining rights of way to a standard suitable for their usual public use.
Also, WCC will only be maintaining footpath WR-628 for its public rights (on foot) and not for any private vehicular use. As the public rights of way team have a responsibility for the surface needed for the public rights, any changes will need to be approved in writing with the public rights of way team.
As above, as the proposal is likely to include the use the footpath for construction access, a CEMP is required, to show how the footpath users will be protected during the construction phase and any damage to the surface is expected to be repaired.
The footpaths should be shown on all submitted plans in their correct location and the Applicant should take account of the following obligations with regards to the public rights of way:
No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without the written consent of WCC;
• No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public
• Buildings materials must not be stored on the right of way
• Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with
• the public’s use of the right of way;
• No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority;
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.
