Enforcement of Conditions (PP)
Your attention is drawn to the Conditions of this Permission and to the Council's powers of enforcement, including the power to serve a Breach of Condition Notice under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended. All Conditions must be complied with. If you wish to seek to amend a Condition you should apply to do so under s.73 of the Act, explaining why you consider it is no longer necessary, or possible, to comply with a particular condition.
2)
Variations to Approved Drawings
Planning permission is hereby granted for the development as shown on the approved drawings. Any variation to the approved scheme may require further permission, and unauthorised variations may lay you open to planning enforcement action. You are advised to seek advice from the Directorate of Planning and Place, before work commences, if you are thinking of introducing any variations to the approved development.
Advice should urgently be sought if a problem occurs during approved works, but it is clearly preferable to seek advice at as early a stage as possible. Use the following link to see how advice can be obtained: Planning Advice Service

Care in the Conservation Area

Unique text
The responsibility to properly address contaminated land issues, including safe development and secure occupancy, and irrespective of any involvement by the Royal Borough, lies with the owner/developer of the site. No contaminated land condition is recommended for this planning application as the chance of significant contamination being found with the potential to cause harm is considered to be low. Despite this the owner or developer of the property may wish to consider contaminated land issues further before development work starts.
Based on this information, observations made during groundworks or as a precaution, the developer should consider whether measures should be taken to investigate or address possible contamination issues. This may, for example, involve undertaking a more detailed unexploded ordnance assessment, undertaking historical searches or investigation work or providing enhanced ground gas and vapour protection. The applicant/developer is requested to contact the Royal Borough's Contaminated Land Officer (Environmental Quality Unit) (Tel: 020 761 3002 email: [email protected]) as soon as is practicable should contamination be encountered during the development of the site. Contamination will often be evident either visually or from odours. Visual evidence of contamination may include staining by oil/fuel, coloured liquids/soils uncharacteristic of soil or groundwater, or debris (e.g. asbestos) being present. Odours will usually be obvious and smell of fuels/solvents, be pleasant or unpleasant, or otherwise be uncharacteristic of soil or groundwater.
Where land contamination is found during the course of the development, we would recommend that an appropriate level of desk study research and investigation work is undertaken to identify and assess risks from land contamination. Guidance on land contamination planning issues is available from the Council's website. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure that they comply with the requirements of Contaminated Land, Health & Safety, Waste Management, the Control of Asbestos and Environmental Damage Regulations. The responsibility to properly address contaminated land issues, including safe development and secure occupancy, and irrespective of any involvement by the Royal Borough, lies with the owner/developer of the site.
