Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to clarify which plans are relevant to the consent.

No development shall take place within each Phase until the applicant, or their agent or successors in title, has secured the implementation of a programme of archaeological work for that Phase. This must be carried out in accordance with a written scheme of investigation, which shall first have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This work should be carried out by an appropriately qualified and experienced professional archaeological contractor to the standards and guidance set out by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (www.archaeologists.net). The development shall be carried out in accordance with these agreed details.

Reason: To ensure and safeguard the recording and inspection of matters of archaeological/historical importance associated with the site.

Note: Lists of suitable contractors are available on the following websites: Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIFA) http://www.archaeologists.net/ British Archaeological Jobs and Resources (BAJR) http://www.bajr.org/   

 

5.    Prior to the commencement of construction work for each Phase of the development a Materials Management Plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the purposes of this condition the term ‘construction work’ shall be taken to include any works to include works to prepare the site for development including site access points, haul roads and compound areas but excluding site investigation work. The materials management plan shall be developed following the site investigations and risk assessments and for that Phase shall:

a.    Identify all locations from which material will be excavated.

 

b.    Utilising the information contained within the contaminated land investigation, identify those areas of excavation which are contaminated

 

c.     For areas of excavation which may be subject to contamination estimate the volume of material arising, the approximate volumes of material to be remediated on site and provisional volume to be disposed of off-site

 

d.    Illustrate where and how the remediation of contaminated material would take place

 

e. Illustrate where and how remediated material would be re-used, including volumetric calculations to demonstrate that the material can be accommodated within the proposed area of use and any measures for containment for this material

f. Detail the frequency of testing and testing specification for soils generated during the cut and fill operations, including how the materials are to be segregated and stored (this should be in the form of a Soil Management Plan see informatives)

 

g. Identify screening criteria for assessment of whether the materials can be reused

without treatment or mitigation

h. For areas of excavation which are not subject to contamination provide the volume of material arising and illustrate where and how non-contaminated material would be re-used including volumetric calculations to demonstrate that the material can be accommodated within the proposed area.

 

Once approved the materials management plan shall be implemented in its entirety.

 

Reason To ensure the proposed development does not pose an unacceptable risk of

pollution to controlled waters

 

6.    Prior to the commencement of construction work for each Phase of the development, a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

INFORMATIVES

1)    Where a development involves any significant construction or related activities, we would recommend using a management and reporting system to minimise and track the fate of construction wastes, such as that set out in PAS402: 2013, or an appropriate equivalent assurance methodology. This should ensure that any waste contractors employed are suitably responsible in ensuring waste only goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP) are no longer a legal requirement, however, in terms of meeting the objectives of the waste hierarchy and your duty of care, they are a useful tool and considered to be best practice. The developer must apply the waste hierarchy as a priority order of prevention, re-use, recycling before considering other recovery or disposal options. Government guidance on the waste hierarchy in England can be found here:https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/69403/pb13530-waste-hierarchy-guidance.pdf

2)    If materials that are potentially waste are to be used on-site, the applicant will need to ensure they can comply with the exclusion from the Waste Framework Directive (WFD)  (article 2(1) (c)) for the use of, ‘uncontaminated soil and other naturally occurring material excavated in the course of construction activities, etc…’ in order for the material not to be considered as waste. Meeting these criteria will mean waste permitting requirements do not apply. Where the applicant cannot meet the criteria, they will be required to obtain the appropriate Environmental Permit or exemption from us for waste storage, treatment, transfer, use or disposal. More information on the definition of waste can be found here:  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-definition-of-waste-guidance

3)    The law requires anyone dealing with waste to keep it safe and make sure it’s dealt with responsibly and only given to businesses authorised to take it. The code of practice can be found here:

https://www.gov.uk//uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data///waste[1]duty-care-code-practice-2016.pdf

4)    The code of practice applies to you if you produce, carry, keep, dispose of, treat, import or have control of waste in England or Wales. The Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991 for dealing with waste materials are applicable to any off-site movements of wastes. Waste must be classified using the correct code from Technical guidance WM3: waste classification. The guidance can be found here

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/waste-classification-technical-guidance It is a comprehensive reference manual for anyone involved in producing, managing and regulating waste.

5)    More information on the Waste Framework Directive can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-guidance-thewaste-framework-directive. More information on permitting  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/waste-environmental-permits

 

6)    The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 require a permit or exemption to be obtained for any activities which will take place:

 

·       on or within 8 metres of a main river (16 metres if tidal)

·       on or within 8 metres of a flood defence structure or culverted main river (16 metres if tidal)

·       on or within 16 metres of a sea defence

·       involving quarrying or excavation within 16 metres of any main river, flood defence (including a remote defence) or culvert

·       in a floodplain more than 8 metres from the river bank, culvert or flood defence structure (16 metres if it’s a tidal main river) and you don’t already have planning permission

 

For further guidance please visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/flood-risk-activitiesenvironmental-permits or contact our National Customer Contact Centre on 03708 506  (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) or by emailing enquiries@environmentagency.gov.uk.

Abstraction/dewatering activities

7)    An abstraction licence is required for dewatering during all phases of the works when this is from a borehole, shaft or wellpoint system where >20m3/d of water is abstracted. The dewatering exemption for small scale engineering works does apply when abstracting <100m3/d for up to 6 months but only if this dewatering is from a sump or excavation. If this dewatering is within 250 metres of a spring, well or borehole that is used to supply water for any lawful use then the exemption volume is reduced to 50 m3/d.

8)    Paragraph 201 details the dewatering required for the tunnel construction and states that additional details are in Appendix 7.8, however this appendix is not available. It is unclear from the description as to whether the calculated inflows are going to be removed / dewatered and therefore potentially require an abstraction licence. The additional details referred to should be provided. The applicant will need to be aware that if volumes are found to be above the threshold, then an abstraction licence will be required.

 

9)    Please be aware that there may be a delay of 6-8 months between applying for and receiving a licence and therefore a precautionary approach is recommended in case volumes are found to exceed those anticipated.

 

10)PLEASE NOTE the following from the LCC PROW team:

 

Ground level/drainage

Any changes in ground level or installation of drainage should ensure that surface water is not channelled towards or onto a public right of way either within the proposed development site or in close proximity – this is to ensure public rights of way are not exposed to potential flooding or future maintenance issues.  

Landscaping

If the applicant intends landscaping they need to ensure that any trees or bushes are at least 3 metres away from a public right of way to prevent any health and safety issues and potential maintenance issues e.g. Overhanging branches or roots coming through the surface of the footpath concerned either within the proposed development or in close proximity.

Temporary closure

If works relating to the proposed application are likely to cause a health and safety risk to users of a public right of way a temporary closure order must be made and in effect prior to commencing those works. Applications should be made 4 weeks before commencement to avoid delay to the works.

Diversion

If a diversion is needed or intended the applicant needs to ensure that the diversion is in place prior to any work commencing on a public right of way. Any disturbance of the existing route, without the appropriate confirmed Diversion Order would be liable to enforcement action taken against the applicant.

Obstruction

A public right of way should not be used to store materials, vehicles or machinery and if found to do so would be deemed an obstruction and the applicant would be subject to enforcement proceedings to remove.      

11)For the avoidance of doubt, this response does not grant the applicant permission to connect to the ordinary watercourse(s) and, once planning permission has been obtained, it does not mean that land drainage consent will be given. The applicant must obtain Land Drainage Consent from Lancashire County Council before starting any works on site. Information on the application process and relevant forms can be found at www.lancashire.gov.uk/flooding.

 

SOIL MANAGEMENT PLAN

 

12)The Soil Management Plan should include:

 

a.    Proposals for handling different types of topsoil and subsoil and the storage of soils and their management whilst in store (including organic soils where identified)

 

b.    The method of assessing whether soils are in a suitably dry condition to be handled (ie dry and friable) and the avoidance of soil handling, trafficking and cultivation during the wetter winter period

c.     A description of the proposed depths and soil types of the restored soil profiles; normally to an overall depth of 1.2m over an evenly graded overburden layer, with the overarching aim for BMV agricultural land to be returned to its original quality and all soils to be suitable for the planning end use

d.    The effects on land drainage, agricultural access and water supplies, including other agricultural land in the vicinity

e.    The impacts of the development on farm structure and viability, and on other established rural land use and interests, both during the site working period and following its reclamation

f.      A detailed Restoration Plan illustrating the restored landform and the proposed after uses, together with details of surface features, water bodies and the availability of outfalls to accommodate future drainage requirements.

 

HIGHWAYS

 

13)PLEASE NOTE: A completed and executed s278 agreement with Lancashire County Council will be required. The agreement will:

 

·         Include the highway improvements identified within this consent!

 

·         Include all matters within the adopted highway (including structures above, below or adjacent).

 

·         Make provision for any highway deterioration as identified and reported.

 

·         Define types of remediation work as “minor” and also as “more extensive”.

 

·         Provide for the carrying out of minor works within 5 working days from identification and within an agreed timeframe for more extensive works.

 

14)PLEASE NOTE: The required Construction Method Statement shall supplement the Construction Traffic Management Plan and provide for:

 

i)      the parking of vehicles of site operatives and visitors (within the curtilage of the site) and that no workforce vehicle is parked beyond the curtilage of the site;

 

ii)         location and manoeuvring requirements for loading and unloading of plant and materials;

iii)         storage of plant and materials (site construction and operation);

iv)        the erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays and facilities for public viewing, where appropriate;

v)         locations and type of internal lighting with understanding of its illumination envelope;

vi)        location and type of wheel washing facilities. Wheel cleaning facilities shall remain available for use and maintained in full working order at all times during the project and shall be used by all vehicles leaving the site (excluding those vehicles only using the clean areas of the compound);

vii)       all roads to be kept clean and swept on a regular basis for the full duration of the project;

viii)       a management plan/scheme to control the emission of dust and dirt during construction identifying suitable mitigation measures;

ix)        a scheme for recycling/disposing of waste resulting from construction work (there shall be no burning on site);

x)         a management plan to identify potential ground and water contaminants; details for their storage and how water courses will be protected against spillage incidents and pollution during the course of construction; and

xi)        a scheme to control noise during the construction and operation phase.

 

The Members were informed that if they are minded to approve the application, it will have to be referred to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State will then determine whether he wants to call in the application for determination or whether this can be determined at the local level.

 

If the Secretary of State determines that this application can be determined at the local level the application will be APPROVED following the satisfactory completion of a Legal Agreement, which will be within 6 months from the date of the Secretary of State confirming the application will not be called in (or delegated to the Director of Economic Development and Planning in conjunction with the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of Planning and Development Committee should exceptional circumstances exist beyond the period of 6 months) and subject to the conditions within the Committee report including the conditions amended below and additional conditions below.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to clarify which plans are relevant to the consent.

 

  1. No development shall take place within each Phase until the applicant, or their agent or successors in title, has secured the implementation of a programme of archaeological work for that Phase. This must be carried out in accordance with a written scheme of investigation, which shall first have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This work should be carried out by an appropriately qualified and experienced professional archaeological contractor to the standards and guidance set out by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (www.archaeologists.net). The development shall be carried out in accordance with these agreed details.

Reason: To ensure and safeguard the recording and inspection of matters of archaeological/historical importance associated with the site.

Note: Lists of suitable contractors are available on the following websites: Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIFA) http://www.archaeologists.net/ British Archaeological Jobs and Resources (BAJR) http://www.bajr.org/    

 

  1. Prior to the commencement of construction work for each Phase of the development a Materials Management Plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. For the purposes of this condition the term ‘construction work’ shall be taken to include any works to include works to prepare the site for development including site access points, haul roads and compound areas but excluding site investigation work. The materials management plan shall be developed following the site investigations and risk assessments and for that Phase shall:

a. Identify all locations from which material will be excavated.

b. Utilising the information contained within the contaminated land investigation, identify those areas of excavation which are contaminated

c. For areas of excavation which may be subject to contamination estimate the volume of material arising, the approximate volumes of material to be remediated on site and provisional volume to be disposed of off-site

d. Illustrate where and how the remediation of contaminated material would take place

e. Illustrate where and how remediated material would be re-used, including volumetric calculations to demonstrate that the material can be accommodated within the proposed area of use and any measures for containment for this material

f. Detail the frequency of testing and testing specification for soils generated during the cut and fill operations, including how the materials are to be segregated and stored (this should be in the form of a Soil Management Plan see informatives)

g. Identify screening criteria for assessment of whether the materials can be reused

without treatment or mitigation

h. For areas of excavation which are not subject to contamination provide the volume of material arising and illustrate where and how non-contaminated material would be re-used including volumetric calculations to demonstrate that the material can be accommodated within the proposed area.

Once approved the materials management plan shall be implemented in its entirety.

Reason To ensure the proposed development does not pose an unacceptable risk of

pollution to controlled waters

 

  1. Prior to the commencement of construction work for each Phase of the development, a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

The parking review scheme shall include provision for:

 

a.         An initial parking review, recording any locations of on street parking on the defined corridor, or in close proximity, on the public highway, listing locations and extent of parking and impact, and measures to overcome the issues, including a timetable for implementing the identified measures. The mitigation thereafter shall be completed in accordance with the approved details.

 

b.         The Parking Reviews to be undertaken on a 3 monthly basis, recording any locations of on street parking on the defined corridor, or in close proximity, on the public highway, listing locations and extent of parking and impact, and measures to overcome the issues, for the full duration of the project, including site remediation, based upon each survey, for the full duration of the project, including site remediation.

 

Thereafter the routes shall be surveyed in accordance with the approved scheme and the results shall be submitted to the dedicated appointed officer at the Local Highway Authority within 5 working days of its collection, along with a timetable for implementing the identified works. Upon agreement by the officer the identified works shall be undertaken.

 

Reason:  To maintain the operation and safety of the local highway network during site preparation and construction.

 

Construction Traffic Management Plan

 

  1. Prior to commencement of works permitted by this approval, an updated Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The updated CTMP shall include:
  • The latest works programme, to allow coordination and understanding of cumulative impact of other programmed works in the area;
  • The construction site traffic routes (see conditions 33 and 34) identified on a plan for each vehicle type (abnormal, HGV (including MGV), LGV and other motorised), supported by a detailed monitoring strategy and course of action/penalties to ensure that routing is adhered to by all vehicles associated with the development without exception;
  • Provision for the management of vehicles i.e., escort vehicles;
  • Restricted hours of HGV movements. Where a route passes a risk receptor (such as a school or a desire line to a school, play area and other public buildings) that no abnormal vehicle, HGV to pass that receptor during its times of high demand, unless otherwise agreed with the LPA in consultation with the LHA;
  • Consideration for school drop off and pick up times, bus timetables, railway timetable (West Bradford Road Crossing), refuse collection times and routing, utility works (planned and emergency) and landowners adjoining the highway (maintenance and development works);
  • Unspecified time restriction to movements dependant on Church services or other community events. Church/event organisers to provide a minimum of 1 week notice and each restriction to be agreed and time limited, unless traffic management is in place on route of HGVs;
  • Review of bus stop usage and routes to bus stops;
  • Maximum HGV movements on each route and course of action/penalties to ensure that the HGV caps are adhered to;
  • Scheme to monitor HGV movements along the routes including any required equipment;
  • Monitoring reports that provide the previous months' movements to ensure HGV caps are not exceeded. Reports to be provided within 10 working days of the end of the month;
  • List of further mitigation measures and that could be delivered if unforeseen events result in greater impacts for example, escorted convoys, motorcycle outriders, extension of works periods (overall duration of works not operating hours and use of Sundays);
  • Monitoring of the traffic scheme through Waddington, and application of Phase 2 (regulated approach) if required;
  • Monitoring (with parking accumulation per vehicle type in line with layout) of workforce numbers entering and exiting the sites (including their mode of travel to the site), and a strategy to support the workforce to use sustainable and shared modes (developer funded minibus);
  • Storage of tipper trucks must be stored within the HARP compounds or at Waddington Fell Quarry;
  • HGVs must not exceed 10mph through the village of Newton-in-Bowland and must be escorted through the village;
  • In locations where 2-way HGV movements cannot be accommodated/managed, the use of escort vehicles;
  • No development related vehicles to be waiting on the public highway, whether waiting for the site to open or waiting to access the site;
  • A Construction Travel Plan for the development;
  • A detailed Lighting Management Plan at all accesses and junctions;
  • Detailed internal layout of all compounds;
  • A detailed scheme for the maintenance of routes through all seasons, including excessive water (flooding), snow (clearance) and ice (gritting); and

 

Thereafter the development shall be undertaken in accordance with the approved CTMP

 

Reason:  To maintain the operation and safety of the local highway network during site preparation and construction.

 

  1. All site access, other infrastructure and off-site highway works must be reinstated to their pre-existing condition prior to completion of the project, in line with an agreed timetable. A timetable for reinstatement, including a timetable for implementation, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority 6 months prior to completion of the main works. Thereafter the reinstatement works shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details.

 

Reason:  To ensure operation and safety of the local highway network post construction.

 

  1. Prior to commencement of each Phase of the development hereby approved a vibration monitoring scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

The scheme shall include:

               The parameters to determine locations of monitoring (including distance between carriageway and building, structure or other receptor). This approach shall be kept under review during the construction period to accommodate any changes in circumstance.

               Plan and list of monitoring locations

               A programme of continuous monitoring with detail of the data to be collected including timeframes for submitting the monitoring reports to the Local Planning Authority

               Method to link development related HGV's passing each monitoring station and that data collected including time, date, speed and direction.

               Strategy for dealing with development related exceedances (drivers/contractors/sub contractors) or consequences of exceedances (damage)

               Benchmarking with existing similar vehicle (unladen) driving appropriately to each location

Thereafter the scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details for the full duration of the works. The monitoring reports and full results shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority at a frequency as agreed including details and timescale for implementation of any necessary identified works required to rectify damage caused.

Reason: To ensure that travelling HGV's do not result in vibration that impacts on adjacent buildings, structures, other receptors or the amenity of local residents.

 

  1. Prior to the commencement of each Phase of the development hereby approved details of the applicants associated Employment and Skills Plan, outlining their proposals to support local jobs and skills growth, shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall be undertaken in accordance with the agreed measures.

Reason - To ensure that this development supports the growth of local employment opportunities and skills

 

 

INFORMATIVES

1)    Where a development involves any significant construction or related activities, we would recommend using a management and reporting system to minimise and track the fate of construction wastes, such as that set out in PAS402: 2013, or an appropriate equivalent assurance methodology. This should ensure that any waste contractors employed are suitably responsible in ensuring waste only goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP) are no longer a legal requirement, however, in terms of meeting the objectives of the waste hierarchy and your duty of care, they are a useful tool and considered to be best practice. The developer must apply the waste hierarchy as a priority order of prevention, re-use, recycling before considering other recovery or disposal options. Government guidance on the waste hierarchy in England can be found here:https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/69403/pb13530-waste-hierarchy-guidance.pdf

 

2)    If materials that are potentially waste are to be used on-site, the applicant will need to ensure they can comply with the exclusion from the Waste Framework Directive (WFD)  (article 2(1) (c)) for the use of, ‘uncontaminated soil and other naturally occurring material excavated in the course of construction activities, etc…’ in order for the material not to be considered as waste. Meeting these criteria will mean waste permitting requirements do not apply. Where the applicant cannot meet the criteria, they will be required to obtain the appropriate Environmental Permit or exemption from us for waste storage, treatment, transfer, use or disposal. More information on the definition of waste can be found here:  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-definition-of-waste-guidance

 

3)    The law requires anyone dealing with waste to keep it safe and make sure it’s dealt with responsibly and only given to businesses authorised to take it. The code of practice can be found here:

https://www.gov.uk//uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data///waste[1]duty-care-code-practice-2016.pdf

 

4)    The code of practice applies to you if you produce, carry, keep, dispose of, treat, import or have control of waste in England or Wales. The Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991 for dealing with waste materials are applicable to any off-site movements of wastes. Waste must be classified using the correct code from Technical guidance WM3: waste classification. The guidance can be found here

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/waste-classification-technical-guidance It is a comprehensive reference manual for anyone involved in producing, managing and regulating waste.

 

5)    More information on the Waste Framework Directive can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-guidance-thewaste-framework-directive. More information on permitting  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/waste-environmental-permits

 

6)    The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 require a permit or exemption to be obtained for any activities which will take place:

·       on or within 8 metres of a main river (16 metres if tidal)

·       on or within 8 metres of a flood defence structure or culverted main river (16 metres if tidal)

·       on or within 16 metres of a sea defence

·       involving quarrying or excavation within 16 metres of any main river, flood defence (including a remote defence) or culvert

·       in a floodplain more than 8 metres from the river bank, culvert or flood defence structure (16 metres if it’s a tidal main river) and you don’t already have planning permission

For further guidance please visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/flood-risk-activitiesenvironmental-permits or contact our National Customer Contact Centre on 03708 506

506 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) or by emailing enquiries@environmentagency.gov.uk.

 

Abstraction/dewatering activities

7)    An abstraction licence is required for dewatering during all phases of the works when this is from a borehole, shaft or wellpoint system where >20m3/d of water is abstracted. The dewatering exemption for small scale engineering works does apply when abstracting <100m3/d for up to 6 months but only if this dewatering is from a sump or excavation. If this dewatering is within 250 metres of a spring, well or borehole that is used to supply water for any lawful use then the exemption volume is reduced to 50 m3/d.

 

8)    Paragraph 201 details the dewatering required for the tunnel construction and states that additional details are in Appendix 7.8, however this appendix is not available. It is unclear from the description as to whether the calculated inflows are going to be removed / dewatered and therefore potentially require an abstraction licence. The additional details referred to should be provided. The applicant will need to be aware that if volumes are found to be above the threshold, then an abstraction licence will be required.

 

9)    Please be aware that there may be a delay of 6-8 months between applying for and receiving a licence and therefore a precautionary approach is recommended in case volumes are found to exceed those anticipated.

 

10)PLEASE NOTE the following from the LCC PROW team:

Ground level/drainage

Any changes in ground level or installation of drainage should ensure that surface water is not channelled towards or onto a public right of way either within the proposed development site or in close proximity – this is to ensure public rights of way are not exposed to potential flooding or future maintenance issues.  

 

Landscaping

If the applicant intends landscaping they need to ensure that any trees or bushes are at least 3 metres away from a public right of way to prevent any health and safety issues and potential maintenance issues e.g. Overhanging branches or roots coming through the surface of the footpath concerned either within the proposed development or in close proximity.

 

Temporary closure

If works relating to the proposed application are likely to cause a health and safety risk to users of a public right of way a temporary closure order must be made and in effect prior to commencing those works. Applications should be made 4 weeks before commencement to avoid delay to the works.

 

Diversion

If a diversion is needed or intended the applicant needs to ensure that the diversion is in place prior to any work commencing on a public right of way. Any disturbance of the existing route, without the appropriate confirmed Diversion Order would be liable to enforcement action taken against the applicant.

 

Obstruction

A public right of way should not be used to store materials, vehicles or machinery and if found to do so would be deemed an obstruction and the applicant would be subject to enforcement proceedings to remove.

           

11)For the avoidance of doubt, this response does not grant the applicant permission to connect to the ordinary watercourse(s) and, once planning permission has been obtained, it does not mean that land drainage consent will be given. The applicant must obtain Land Drainage Consent from Lancashire County Council before starting any works on site. Information on the application process and relevant forms can be found at www.lancashire.gov.uk/flooding.

 

SOIL MANAGEMENT PLAN

12)The Soil Management Plan should include:

a.    Proposals for handling different types of topsoil and subsoil and the storage of soils and their management whilst in store (including organic soils where identified)

b.    The method of assessing whether soils are in a suitably dry condition to be handled (ie dry and friable) and the avoidance of soil handling, trafficking and cultivation during the wetter winter period

c.     A description of the proposed depths and soil types of the restored soil profiles; normally to an overall depth of 1.2m over an evenly graded overburden layer, with the overarching aim for BMV agricultural land to be returned to its original quality and all soils to be suitable for the planning end use

d.    The effects on land drainage, agricultural access and water supplies, including other agricultural land in the vicinity

e.    The impacts of the development on farm structure and viability, and on other established rural land use and interests, both during the site working period and following its reclamation

f.      A detailed Restoration Plan illustrating the restored landform and the proposed after uses, together with details of surface features, water bodies and the availability of outfalls to accommodate future drainage requirements.

 

HIGHWAYS

13)PLEASE NOTE: A completed and executed s278 agreement with Lancashire County Council will be required. The agreement will:

·         Include the highway improvements identified within this consent!

·         Include all matters within the adopted highway (including structures above, below or adjacent).

·         Make provision for any highway deterioration as identified and reported.

·         Define types of remediation work as “minor” and also as “more extensive”.

·         Provide for the carrying out of minor works within 5 working days from identification and within an agreed timeframe for more extensive works.

 

14)PLEASE NOTE: The required Construction Method Statement shall supplement the Construction Traffic Management Plan and provide for:

i)          the parking of vehicles of site operatives and visitors (within the curtilage of the site) and that no workforce vehicle is parked beyond the curtilage of the site;

ii)         location and manoeuvring requirements for loading and unloading of plant and materials;

iii)         storage of plant and materials (site construction and operation);

iv)        the erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays and facilities for public viewing, where appropriate;

v)         locations and type of internal lighting with understanding of its illumination envelope;

vi)        location and type of wheel washing facilities. Wheel cleaning facilities shall remain available for use and maintained in full working order at all times during the project and shall be used by all vehicles leaving the site (excluding those vehicles only using the clean areas of the compound);

vii)       all roads to be kept clean and swept on a regular basis for the full duration of the project;

viii)       a management plan/scheme to control the emission of dust and dirt during construction identifying suitable mitigation measures;

ix)        a scheme for recycling/disposing of waste resulting from construction work (there shall be no burning on site);

x)         a management plan to identify potential ground and water contaminants; details for their storage and how water courses will be protected against spillage incidents and pollution during the course of construction; and

xi)        a scheme to control noise during the construction and operation phase.
