RESOLVED: That application 25/01790/FP be
GRANTED planning permission subject to the conditions
set out in the report of the Development and Conservation Manager,
with additional Conditions 15 and 16 as follows:
 
‘Condition 15
 
Construction shall not
begin until a detailed surface water drainage scheme for the site
has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning
Authority. The surface water drainage scheme must prioritise the
use of source control Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in consideration of the Non-Statutory
Technical Standards for SuDS and
demonstrate no increase in flood risk as a result of the Proposed
Development with sufficient supporting evidence provided to support
its viability including supporting calculations for the 100% AEP (1
in 1 year), 3.33% AEP (1 in 30 year), 3.33% AEP (1 in 30 year) plus
climate change, the 1% AEP (1 in 100 year) and the 1% AEP (1 in
100) plus climate change critical storms. Infiltration testing
shall be carried out to inform the detailed drainage design; if
infiltration is not viable, a detailed drainage strategy based on
discharging to the ordinary watercourse south of Snailswell Lane at
the greenfield runoff rate shall be submitted to the Local Planning
Authority. The scheme shall subsequently be implemented in
accordance with the approved details before the development is
completed.
 
Reason: To ensure the
flood risk is adequately addressed and not increased in accordance
with NPPF and Policies of North Hertfordshire District Council.
 
Condition 16
 
In the event that contamination is found
at any time when carrying out the approved development, it shall be
reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An
investigation and risk assessment shall then be undertaken by a
competent person, in accordance with BS10175:2011. A written report
of the findings should be forwarded for approval to the Local
Planning Authority. Following completion of remedial measures a
verification report shall be prepared that demonstrates the
effectiveness of the remediation carried out. No part of the
development should be occupied until all remedial and validation
works are approved in writing.
 
Reason: To protect human
health and to ensure that no future investigation is required under
Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.’
