My thoughts:
If the Phase 2 and Strategy had to be approved prior to remediation for planning then there is a technical breach of the planning condition if the validation report uses different numbers. Could the discharge of planning conditions be challenged at all if the validation differs from the strategy? If its a contentious site then could you be given a load of paperwork if someone objects?
Really they should resubmit the strategy with the new numbers and then you could approve this (if you were of a mind to) and then approve the validation report (if its OK).
