After a very quick glance there are a couple of issues;
Define “competent” person (there could be a very
long thread about this one) and why does the site investigation strategy need
to be agreed in writing with the LPA. Yes a good idea but very long delays are
often encountered.

"If any contamination is found during the site
investigation......" is a bit of a catch all, I would have thought
"If any significant
contamination is found........" would be better.
"The site shall be remediated in
accordance with the approved measures before development begins. " This does seem to preclude technologies that
can go on during development. Also need to be careful on large sites
where the remediation and development might be phased, and remediation ongoing
on one part of the site, whilst other parts have been remediated and are being
developed. Also, on large sites, some areas may not need remediation and
could be developed whilst the problem areas are remediated.

I cant be bothered to comment on the long one but the short one
looks interesting… please note even the masterful planning inspectors
have produced a circular condition.
CONTAMINATED LAND [FOR SMALL AND/OR SIMPLE
DEVELOPMENTS]
No development shall take place until a site investigation of the
nature and extent of 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. 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.
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
pproved in writing by the local planning authority. The remediation of
the site shall incorporate the approved additional measures.
Here is the one we use:
C 3613- At least 28 days before the development
hereby permitted commences on the site, a soil survey shall be undertaken and
the results provided to the planning authority. The survey shall be taken at
such points and to such depth as the planning authority may stipulate and
laboratory results shall be provided as numeric values in an electronic
formatted excel spread sheet. Before development commences a scheme for
decontamination shall be agreed in writing with the planning authority and the
scheme as approved shall be implemented before any part of the
development hereby permitted is occupied.

Hi all
The
Planning Inspectorate is consulting on a long list of model planning conditions
including contaminated land. http://www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk/pins/appeals/model_conditions_consultation.html
You’ll
see a shortened version of the existing 5 standard conditions for smaller
developments, any comments on this? They seem to have missed off Verification.
Please
distribute to your cluster groups. Consultation ends 12 March 2010.
Kind
regards
