Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the approved plans to comply with Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy (2007)

 

(3)          All planting, seeding or turfing approved shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding season following the occupation of the development or the completion of the development, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which, within a period of five years after planting, are removed, die or become seriously damaged or diseased in the opinion of the local planning authority, shall be replaced in the next available planting season with others of similar size, species and number, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the local planning authority

 

Reason: To ensure the provision, establishment and maintenance of an appropriate landscape scheme in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality in accordance with Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM5 and DM9 of the Development Management Policies 2015

 

(4)          No equipment, machinery or materials shall be brought onto the site for the purpose of the development, until the protective fencing has been erected to enclose all retained trees as shown on Tree Protection Plan (SJA TPP 15335-01a). This fencing shall be maintained until all equipment, machinery and surplus materials have been removed from the site. Nothing shall be stored or placed in any area fenced in accordance with this condition and the ground levels within those areas shall not be altered, nor shall any excavation be made, without the prior written consent of the local planning authority

 

Reason: To protect the trees on site which are to be retained in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality in accordance with Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM5 and DM9 of the Development Management Policies 2015

 

(5)          The areas of parking as shown on drawing No N274 GA 3001 Rev 11 are for 750 cars, 30 motor cycles and 252 cycles. The parking areas shall be used and thereafter retained exclusively for their designated purposes. Subject to application ref: 20/00249/FUL being granted planning permission, 100 car parking spaces identified on Figure 2.1 of the Car Park Management Plan, dated Feb 2020, shall be temporarily used by Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust staff. One month prior to the car parking spaces being used, the applicant shall notify the Local Planning Authority in writing of the date of the first use of the spaces. The spaces shall be used for a limited period of 12 months taking effect from the date the notice becomes effective, or shall cease by June 2023, whichever is the sooner. The 100 car parking spaces shall only be available to Trust staff from 07:30 to 19:30, Monday to Friday and shall not be available overnight or on weekends. On the cessation of the temporary parking arrangement as detailed above, the 100 car parking spaces shall no longer be used by Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust staff and shall return to their designated purposes.

 

Reason: To ensure that student parking does not take place on the Public Highway or on adjacent private streets to the detriment of safety and convenience of other highway users in accordance with Policy CS16 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM35 and DM37 of the Development Management Policies 2015

(6)          The means of vehicular access to the development shall be from the new roundabout access on Reigate Road only. The existing vehicular access from Reigate Road to the north of the new roundabout shall be permanently closed and any kerbs, verge, footway, fully reinstated by the applicant, in a manner as already agreed with the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reason: To ensure that the development does not prejudice highway safety or cause inconvenience to other highway users in accordance with Policy CS16 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM35 and DM37 of the Development Management Policies 2015

 

(7)          Space must be been laid out within the site by 1 September 2016 in accordance with the approved plans and previously approved Travel Plan to provide:

a)    Secure cycle parking, changing facilities, safe pedestrian & cycle

routes

b) Information for staff and visitors regarding public transport, walking

and cycling

 

Reason: To encourage travel by means other than private motor vehicles in accordance with Policy CS16 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policy DM36 of the Development Management Policies 2015

 

(8)          Prior to occupation of the extended area of the eastern car park area, a verification report demonstrating completion of the works set out in the approved remediation strategy and the effectiveness of the remediation shall be submitted to and approved, in writing, by the local planning authority. The report shall include results of sampling and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved verification plan to demonstrate that the site remediation criteria have been met. It shall also include any plan (a "long-term monitoring and maintenance plan") for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action, as identified in the verification plan, if appropriate, and for the reporting of this to the local planning authority. Any long-term monitoring and maintenance plan shall be implemented as approved.

 

Reason: Should remediation be deemed necessary, the applicant should demonstrate that any remedial measures have been undertaken as agreed and the environmental risks have been satisfactorily managed so that the site is deemed suitable for use. To satisfy Policy CS6 of the Core Strategy 2007 and Policy DM17 of the Development Management Policies 2015

 

(9)          If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until the developer has submitted, and obtained written approval from the Local Planning Authority for, a remediation strategy detailing how this unexpected contamination shall be dealt with. The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved, verified and reported to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reason: There is always the potential for unexpected contamination to be identified during development groundworks. We should be consulted should any contamination be identified that could present an unacceptable risk to Controlled Waters (the site is located over a Principal Aquifer). To satisfy Policy CS6 of the Core Strategy 2007 and Policy DM17 of the Development Management Policies 2015

 

(10)       The development shall be carried out in accordance with the following documents and drawings, approved under ref: 16/01878/COND, dated 28 June 2017: Chawton Hill letter, dated 17 March 2017

Geo-Environmental report, ref: GE9847-GARv1JK180614

CTP drawing, refs: A4428-1601 T2 and A4428-1602 T1

 

Reason: Infiltrating water has the potential to cause remobilisation of contaminants present in shallow soil/made ground which could ultimately cause pollution of groundwater. To satisfy Policy CS6 of the Core Strategy 2007 and Policy DM17 of the Development Management Policies 2015.

 

(11)       The development shall be carried out in strict accordance with the Written Scheme of Investigation: Method Statement for an Archaeological Evaluation Report, ref: T23039.02, dated February 2017, and any archaeological works shall be carried out by a suitably qualified investigating body acceptable to the local planning authority.

 

The work detailed in the report forms an ongoing stage in the implementation of the required archaeological work. As such, the condition is maintained until all the fieldwork has been completed and a satisfactory final report on its results has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority. Or, should significant/complex archaeological deposits have been revealed, when a satisfactory post-excavation assessment detailing the post-fieldwork analyses needed to arrive at a final publishable report have been agreed and resourced to the planning authorities’ satisfaction.

 

Reason: The site is of high archaeological potential and it is important that the archaeological information should be preserved as a record before it is destroyed by the development in accordance with Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy (2007)

 

(12)       Subject to application ref: 20/00249/FUL being granted planning permission, the parking management measures set out in the hereby approved Car Park Management Plan, dated Feb 2020, shall be implemented at the Application Site, taking effect from the date of the first use of the 100 spaces by Epsom and St Helier University HospitalsNHS Trust staff throughout the entire period of use of these parking spaces by Trust Staff. Upon cessation of the temporary parking arrangement, the 100 car parking spaces, shall no longer be used by Trust staff, and shall return to their prior designated use, to be retained and maintained for the use of students during term time in perpetuity

 

Reason: In order that the development should not prejudice highway safety nor cause inconvenience to other highway users, to meet the objectives of the NPPF (2019) and to satisfy policies DM 35 and DM 37 of the Epsom and Ewell Borough Council Development Management Policies.
