(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). (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. (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. (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 policy P2 of the National Planning Policy Framework..

The application has not provided sufficient information about how foul sewage from the proposed development is to be dealt with.

Reason: To minimise any risk of harm to human health and the environment.

All external lighting shall only directly illuminate the application site and shall be fully adjustable and shall be maintained as such thereafter.
