Subject: Planning inspectorate conditions
Dear all
Just thought I'd raise awareness of a potential issue - planning conditions.
We have had a couple of cases over the last 2 years or so of the Planning Inspectorate either removing or amending land quality conditions. Our conditions, In line with our understanding of good practice are closely modelled on Environment Agency recommended standard/model conditions.
Here is an example of an inspectorate amended condition:
No development shall take place until a site investigation of the nature and extent of any contamination has been carried out in accordance with a methodology which has previously been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority [MIGHT BE CREATING A ROD FOR YOUR BACK/IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO REVIEW ALL PROPOSED SI? WHAT IF THERE IS A PERFEECTLY GOOD EXISTING SI REPORT WHICH YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A SCOPE FOR IN ADVANCE?]. The results of the site investigation shall be made available to the Local Planning Authority before any development begins. If any contamination is found during the site investigation, a report specifying the measures to be taken to remediate the site to render it suitable for the development hereby permitted shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The site shall be remediated in accordance with the approved measures before development begins [OFTEN IN PRACTICAL AS SOME COMMON REMEDIATION MEASURES CAN ONLY BE CARRIED OUT DURING/AT THE END OF THE BUILD PROCESS]. If, during the course of development, any contamination is found which has not been identified in the site investigation, additional measures for the remediation of this source of contamination shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The remediation of the site shall incorporate the approved additional measures. [As David points out - VALIDATION...]
Can anyone spot any weak points or problem areas?
Kind regards
