| Unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority development, other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation, development must not commence until conditions 1 to 6 have been complied with:
1. A preliminary risk assessment must be carried out. This study shall take the form of a Phase I desk study and site walkover and shall include the identification of previous site uses, potential contaminants that might reasonably be expected given those uses and any other relevant information. The preliminary risk assessment report shall contain a diagrammatical representation (conceptual model) based on the information above and shall include all potential contaminants, sources and receptors to determine whether a site investigation is required and this should be detailed in a report supplied to the Local Planning Authority. The risk assessment must be approved in writing before any development takes place.
2. Where an unacceptable risk is identified a scheme for detailed site investigation must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to being undertaken. The scheme must be designed to assess the nature and extent of any contamination and must be led by the findings of the preliminary risk assessment. The investigation and risk assessment scheme must be compiled by competent persons and must be designed in accordance with the Environment Agency's "Land Contamination: Risk Management" guidance.
3. Detailed site investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken and a written report of the findings produced. This report must be approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to any development taking place. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and must be conducted in accordance with the Environment Agency's "Land Contamination: Risk Management" guidance.
4. Where identified as necessary a detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to identified receptors must be prepared and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority in advance of undertaking. The remediation scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as Contaminated Land under Part 2A Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.
5. The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development, other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
6. Following the completion of the measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a validation report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced and is subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings.
7. In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken and where necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared, these will be subject to the approval of the Local Planning Authority. Following the completion of any measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a validation report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority prior to the occupation of any buildings.
Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with Policy SWDP31 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Before the commencement of development hereby permitted, details of renewable and/or low carbon energy generation measures shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The measures shall contribute to at least 10% of the predicted energy requirements of the development. The details to be submitted shall include:-
- the overall predicted energy requirements of the approved development;
- the predicted energy generation from the proposed renewable/low carbon energy measures; and
- an implementation timetable for the proposed measures.
The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure the development supports the delivery of low carbon/renewable energy and safeguards natural resources in accordance with policy SWDP27 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| Before the development hereby permitted is first occupied/used, details of any external lighting to be provided in association with the development shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall include times when the external lighting will not be switched on. Only external lighting in accordance with approved details shall be provided on the application site. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order with or without modification) there shall be no other external lighting provided on the application site.
Reason: To ensure the proposed development does not have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area in accordance with policies SWDP1, SWDP21 and SWDP25 of South Worcestershire Development Plan and the relevant aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| (A) No development shall take place until a programme of archaeological work, including a Written Scheme of Investigation, has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The scheme shall include an assessment of significance and research questions; and:
1) The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording.
2) The programme for post investigation assessment.
3) Provision to be made for analysis of the site investigation and recording.
4) Provision to be made for publication and dissemination of the analysis and records of the site investigation.
5) Provision to be made for archive deposition of the analysis and records of the site investigation.
6) Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the Written Scheme of Investigation.
(B) The development shall not be occupied until the site investigation and post investigation assessment has been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) and the provision made for analysis,
publication and dissemination of results and archive deposition has been secured.
Reason: In accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 207 and 218 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| The applicants attention is drawn to the existence of an agreement made under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), and the restrictions imposed therein. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
| Prior to adoption of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR), the Local Planning Authority had reached a decision to grant planning permission for this development subject to completion of a Section 106 agreement.
A delegated decision to grant permission was made on: 3rd November 2025
Formal instructions to prepare the Section 106 agreement were issued to Legal Services on: 3rd November 2025. Evidence of these instructions is recorded on the case file.
The SWDPR was subsequently adopted on: 26th March 2026. This represents a material change in the development plan.
In accordance with the principles set out in R (Kides) v South Cambridgeshire DC [2002], the Local Planning Authority has considered whether adoption of the SWDPR is capable of materially affecting the earlier planning judgement.
Officers acknowledge that the adoption of the SWDPR represents a material change in the development plan and that the Council is now able to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply. However, the Local Planning Authority had already reached a clear planning judgement to grant permission prior to adoption.
The relevant question is not whether the proposal would necessarily be approved if determined afresh under the new development plan, but whether the policy change is capable of fundamentally undermining the earlier decision.
Having reviewed the adopted SWDPR policies in that context, officers conclude that the policy change does not materially undermine the planning judgement previously reached.
The decision notice may therefore be issued following completion of the Section 106 agreement. Permissions issued under this transitional approach reflect the procedural stage the application had reached at the point the SWDPR was adopted and do not set a precedent for future decision-making under the SWDPR. |
