Agenda item

The Chairman introduced the second planning application, number 143270 for the construction of manege with 3no. lighting columns on land at 9 Laughton Road, Blyton, Gainsborough. The Officer explained that, since the publication of the report, two further responses had been received. He confirmed that Lincolnshire County Council Minerals and Waste Team raised no objections regarding the impact on mineral resources and Lincolnshire County Council Highways raised no objections to the impact on the public highway. With no registered speakers, the Chairman invited comments from Members of the Committee.

There were enquiries regarding the hours of use for the lighting of the area, the materials used for the surface of the manege as well as whether it would be for personal or business use. The Officer confirmed that the hours of lighting would be conditioned for use between 8am and 8pm, the use of shredded carpet was a usual floor covering and no concerns had been raised by the Environment Protection Officer and the use would be considered business use.

With these queries clarified, and having been proposed and seconded, on taking the vote it was unanimously agreed that permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions.

1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To conform with Section 91 (1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).

2. No development shall take place until, suitably qualified contaminated land assessments and associated remedial strategy with none technical summaries, conclusions and recommendations, together with a timetable of works, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority (LPA) and the measures approved in that scheme shall be fully implemented. [Outcomes shall appropriately reflect end use and when combining another investigative purpose have a dedicated contaminative summary with justifications cross referenced]. The scheme shall include all of the following measures unless the LPA dispenses with any such requirement specifically in writing:

a) The contaminated land assessment shall include a desk study to be submitted to the LPA for approval. The desk study shall detail the history of the site uses and propose a site investigation strategy based on the relevant information discovered by the desk study. The strategy shall be approved by the LPA prior to investigations commencing on site.

b) The site investigation, including relevant soil, soil gas, surface and groundwater sampling, shall be carried out by a suitably qualified and accredited consultant/contractor in accordance with a Quality Assured sampling and analysis methodology.

c) A site investigation report detailing all investigative works and sampling on site, together with the results of analysis, risk assessment to any receptors and a proposed remediation strategy shall be submitted to the LPA. The LPA shall approve such remedial works as required prior to any remediation commencing on site. The works shall be of such a nature as to render harmless the identified contamination given the proposed end-use of the site and surrounding environment including any controlled waters.

d) Approved remediation works shall be carried out in full on site under a quality assurance scheme to demonstrate compliance with the proposed methodology and best practice guidance. If during the works contamination is encountered which has not previously been identified then the additional contamination shall be fully assessed and an appropriate remediation scheme agreed with the LPA.

e) Upon completion of the works, this condition shall not be discharged until a closure report has been submitted to and approved by the LPA. The closure report shall include details of the proposed remediation works and quality assurance certificates to show that the works have been carried out in full in accordance with the approved methodology.
