Proposal

Non-material amendment to planning permission 22/00229 to allow the building works to be phased without the requirement to first discharge condition 9; to amend the wording of condition 9 (small-scale ground gas and vapour) to read: A. No development shall commence (other than demolition above ground level, alterations to dormer roof extension and rebuilding of roof) until an appropriate ground gas and vapour investigation (GVI) [incorporating the results of environmental and historical searches] is undertaken and a GVI report [where necessary incorporating a Remediation Strategy (RS)], is submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. B. No occupation or use of the development shall commence until the approved RS is implemented and a Verification Report (VR) is submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. Where physical remedial measures are implemented to protect end-users of the development they shall be maintained. The GVI, GVI Report, RS, VR and any unexpected contamination identified during the GVI and development shall be addressed in line with the Council's contaminated land guidance for small-scale ground gas and vapour protection
