Reason: To prevent pollution and flooding in accordance with Policies ENV12 and EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the commencement of development, with the exception of any demolition, a full surface water drainage scheme shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The design of the surface water drainage system shall be in accordance with the national standards for sustainable drainage systems, including details of BRE 365 soakage testing, levels, size, position and construction of all drainage works. The approved scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to the occupation of the development hereby approved. Notes An exceedance plan must be provided.

This report should as a minimum cover the following; 1) Inclusion of as-built drawings in DWG or DXF format, 2) Inspection details of key foul water drainage features such as the manhole chambers, and critical linking features or pipework undertaken, with appropriate photographs and evidence of inspections incorporated, 3) Details of any remediation works required following the initial inspection, 4) Evidence that that remedial works have been completed. 5) CCTV survey. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of foul water drainage and to ensure flooding and pollution is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the commencement of development, with the exception of any demolition, a full foul water drainage scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The drainage scheme shall include details of method, levels, size, position and construction of the drainage scheme. Notes Full construction details of all foul water drainage components must be provided. A coloured key highlighting responsibilities for the entire system must be provided. Drainage layout from SVP must be provided. Reason: To ensure the proper provision of foul water drainage and to ensure flooding and pollution is not exacerbated in the locality in accordance with policy EP4 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, an Electric Vehicle Charging Point shall be installed for the new dwelling and thereafter retained as such. Reason: To ensure sustainable forms of transport in accordance with Policies TRANS5, ENV12 and EP1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the occupation of the development parking facilities shall be laid out in accordance with drawing PA103, surfaced, drained and completed to be compliant with sustainable drainage (SuDS) principles. Thereafter the car parking spaces shall be retained unobstructed except for the parking of vehicles associated with the development at all times. Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to ensure the provision of off-street car parking in accordance with Policy TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

Prior to the commencement of the development a phased risk assessment shall be carried out by a competent person in accordance with current government and Environment Agency Guidance and Approved Codes of Practice such as Land Contamination: Risk Management 2020 and BS10175:2011 +A2:2017 'Investigation of potentially contaminated sites'. Each phase shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Phase 1 shall incorporate a desk study and site walk over to identify all potential contaminative uses on site, and to inform the conceptual site model. If potential contamination is identified in Phase 1 then a Phase 2 investigation shall be undertaken. Phase 2 shall include a comprehensive intrusive investigation in order to characterise the type, nature and extent of contamination present, the risks to receptors and if significant contamination is identified to inform the remediation strategy. Phase 3 requires that a remediation strategy be submitted to and approved by the LPA to ensure the site will be rendered suitable for its proposed use. Reason: To ensure that any ground, water and associated gas contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and to ensure the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy ENV11 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035.

The development shall not be occupied until any previously approved remediation strategy has been carried out in full and a validation report confirming completion of these works has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Any such obstruction is an offence under Section 137 of the Highways Act 1980.
