The site of the proposed development may be contaminated. Therefore 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 must not commence until conditions A to C have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must 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 condition D has been complied with in relation to that contamination. A. Site Characterisation A detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be completed in accordance with current UK guidance to assess the nature, extent and scale of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The investigations, risk assessments and written reports must be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report of the findings must include: (i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination; (ii) desk study information, conceptual models, investigation methods, investigation results and interpretation and any other information required by the local planning authority to justify and appraise the report findings. (iii) 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; (iv) an appraisal of remedial options, and proposal of the preferred option(s). This must be conducted in accordance with current UK guidance including DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'. B. Submission of Remediation Scheme In cases where contamination is shown to exist a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property, the natural and historical environment and surrounding land must be prepared, and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme must 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. C. Implementation of Approved Remediation Scheme The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Local Planning Authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report (referred to in PPS23 as a validation report) that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and approved in writing by the local planning authority. D. Reporting of Unexpected Contamination 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 in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of condition A, and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of condition B, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority in accordance with condition C. E. Long Term Monitoring and Maintenance If a monitoring and maintenance scheme, to include monitoring the long-term effectiveness of the proposed remediation, is required as part of the approved remediation scheme then the monitoring and maintenance scheme will need to be approved in writing by the local planning authority. Following completion of the measures identified in that monitoring and maintenance scheme and when the remediation objectives have been achieved, reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of the monitoring and maintenance carried out must be produced, and submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval. This must be conducted in accordance with current UK guidance including DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'.
