Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation, shall not commence until the conditions below have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development shall be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the Local Planning Authority in writing until the reporting of unexpected contamination condition has been complied with in relation to that contamination. Contaminated Land Conditions (1)INVESTIGATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT No development shall commence until an investigation and risk assessment of the nature and extent of contamination on site and its findings have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This assessment shall be undertaken by a competent person, and shall assess any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The assessment shall consider all previous uses and shall be conducted in accordance with the Environment Agency's 'Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM)'. The assessment and written submission shall include: (i) a survey of the nature, extent and significance of any contamination; (ii) an assessment of the potential risks to: • human health, • property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes, • adjoining land, • groundwaters and surface waters, • ecological systems, • archaeological sites and ancient monuments; (iii) an appraisal of remedial options, and proposal and justification for the preferred option(s). Reason: In order to ensure that the land is suitable for the intended uses and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors and in accordance with sections 11 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework. This is a condition precedent because the works comprising the development have the potential to uncover harmful contamination. Therefore these details need to be agreed by submission of an assessment report before work commences in addition to any assessment provided with the planning application. This condition does not restrict commencement of enabling works provided that these may be demonstrated to be entirely for the purposes of ground investigations deemed necessary to inform the risk assessment. (2)SUBMISSION OF A REMEDIATION SCHEME No development shall commence (other than agreed works required to carry out investigations) until a detailed remediation scheme (if required under con to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, controlled waters, ecological systems, buildings and other property and sites of historical interest, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, unless the findings of the approved investigation and risk assessment concludes that a remediation scheme is not required. The scheme shall include: (i) all works to be undertaken; (ii) proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria; (iii) timetable of works and site management procedures and where the site is to be developed in phases, a phasing plan identifying any specific protection measures; (iv) where required, a monitoring and maintenance programme to monitor the longterm effectiveness of the proposed remediation and a timetable for the submission of reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of the monitoring and maintenance carried out. (v) where required, additional contingency measures designed to safeguard future users and receptors The remediation scheme shall be designed to ensure that the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation. The development shall not commence until the approved remediation scheme has been carried out, excepting those works required to carry out remediation, or in accordance with the approved timetable of works. Reason: In order to ensure that the land is suitable for the intended uses and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to human health, controlled waters and other offsite receptors and in accordance with sections 11 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework. This is a condition precedent because the works comprising the development have the potential to uncover or affect pathways for harmful contamination. Therefore these details need to be agreed before work commences. (3)VERIFICATION REPORTING No occupation shall commence, or where the site is subject to an already approved phasing plan, there shall be no occupation of any part of each phase, until a verification report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, unless the findings of the approved investigation and risk assessment has confirmed that a remediation scheme is not required. The verification report shall confirm that the approved remediation has been completed and demonstrate the effectiveness of the remediation carried out. Reason: In order to ensure that the land is suitable for the intended uses and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors and in accordance with sections 11 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework. (4)REPORTING OF UNEXPECTED CONTAMINATION In the event that contamination which was not previously identified is found at any time when carrying out the approved development, it shall be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority and further development works shall cease unless alternative arrangements have been first agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment shall be undertaken and where remediation is necessary, a revised remediation scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The revised scheme shall thereafter be implemented as approved. The requirements of this condition shall also apply if other circumstances arise during the development, which require a reconsideration of the approved remediation scheme. Reason: In order to ensure that the land is suitable for the intended uses and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to human health, controlled waters and other off-site receptors and in accordance with Policies D24 and D25 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan and section 11 and 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

Prior to the installation of any external lighting, a lighting design for bats, following Guidance Note 08/18 Bats and artificial lighting in the UK (ILP and BCT 2018), shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, prior to construction. The design shall show how and where external lighting will be installed (including through the provision of technical specifications) so that it can be clearly demonstrated that areas to be lit will not disturb or prevent bats using their territory. The design should accord with Step 5 of Guidance Note 08/18, including submission of contour plans illustrating Lux levels. Lux levels should be below 0.5 Lux on potential bat commuting routes (hedgerows). All external lighting shall be installed in accordance with the specifications and locations set out in the design, and these shall be maintained thereafter in accordance with the design. Under no circumstances should any other external lighting be installed without prior consent from the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of the 'Favourable Conservation Status' of populations of European protected species and in accordance with Sedgemoor District Council Local Plan: Policy D20 -Biodiversity and Geodiversity.

Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, the following mitigation/enhancements should be installed p and retained thereafter. The measures shall include: a) Installation of 1x standard bird boxes purchased or built, situated on a mature tree on site or appropriately positioned on the proposed works, at a height above 3m. The ideal position for bird boxes is north facing (followed by north-east, and then east if no other aspects are possible. Under no circumstances should south or west elevations be used, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. b) A Beaumaris Woodstone maxi bat box or similar mounted at least 4m above ground on either the south or west facing elevations, and boxes aimed at different species should be spaced at least 2m apart. c) Native, nectar rich planting (such as wildflowers, shrubs or trees) should be created within the site boundary. Trees and shrubs must be sourced from a reputable UK nursery. If not UK grown, plants must have spent at least one full growing season on a UK nursery and have been subjected to a full pest and disease programme Reason: In the interest of biodiversity enhancement as in accordance with policy D20 of the Sedgemoor Local Plan 2011-2032.
