No development shall commence on any part of the site as shown on drawings as approved under Conditions 4 and 5 or any subsequent/amended version approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority until all interests within the site are bound by either: (1) a Section 106 Agreement containing the same planning obligations to those secured in the Section 106 Agreement which accompanies this permission; or (2) a confirmatory deed confirming that the land is bound by the Section 106 Agreement which accompanies this permission] to the written satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

 

INFORMATIVES

 

Construction and Demolition Method Statement

Care must be taken to prevent the pollution of ground and surface waters. This will include during works and the location of any hazardous materials including fuel from vehicles and equipment.

 

Where any soils that are known to be contaminated are being excavated or exposed a site waste plan must be prepared in order to store treat and dispose of the materials in accordance with the waste duty of care. It is recommended that advice is sought from the Environment Agency on this matter.

 

Stockpiling and Reuse of Materials:

- Soils for storage must be classified before the waste is moved, stockpiled, reused and disposed (hereafter referred to as 'stockpiling') of in accordance with the Guidance on the classification and assessment of waste (1st Edition v1.1) Technical Guidance WM3 (EA, RM, SEPA, NIEA, 2018) (or 'WM3').

- Representative samples of soils must be undertaken in accordance with Appendix D of WM3 and presented to the local authority and other responsible authorities for approval prior to stockpiling.

- Prior to stockpiling the quality and condition of soils used for stockpiling must be approved by and in accordance with the Environment Agency.

 

Where there is requirement for dewatering the site, the relevant consent must be sought from the Environment Agency

 

Where there is a requirement to obstruct or alter watercourses a consent under section 23 of the Land Drainage Act must be obtained from Southend-on-Sea Borough Council.

 

Land Contamination This shall be conducted by a competent person and in accordance with the Essex Contaminated Land Consortium's 'Land Affected by Contamination: Technical Guidance for Applicants and Developers' and DEFRA and the Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) guidance from the Environment Agency. 

 

Used Water Network/ Anglian Water      

(1) Notification of intention to connect to the public sewer under S106 of the Water Industry Act Approval and consent will be required by Anglian Water, under the Water Industry Act 1991. Contact Development Services Team 0345 606 6087.

 

(2) Notification of intention to connect to the public sewer under S106 of the Water Industry Act Approval and consent will be required by Anglian Water, under the Water Industry Act 1991. Contact Development Services Team 0345 606 6087.

 

(3) Protection of existing assets - A public sewer is shown on record plans within the land identified for the proposed development. It appears that development proposals will affect existing public sewers. It is recommended that the applicant contacts Anglian Water Development Services Team for further advice on this matter. Building over existing public sewers will not be permitted (without agreement) from Anglian Water.

 

(4) Building near to a public sewer - No building will be permitted within the statutory easement width of 3 metres from the pipeline without agreement from Anglian Water. Please contact Development Services Team on 0345 606 6087.

 

(5) The developer should note that the site drainage details submitted have not been approved for the purposes of adoption. If the developer wishes to have the sewers included in a sewer adoption agreement with Anglian Water (under Sections 104 of the Water Industry Act 1991), they should contact our Development Services Team on 0345 606 6087 at the earliest opportunity. Sewers intended for adoption should be designed and constructed in accordance with Sewers for Adoption guide for developers, as supplemented by Anglian Water’s requirements.

 

Anglian Water has assets close to or crossing this site or there are assets subject to an adoption agreement. Therefore, the site layout should take this into account and accommodate those assets within either prospectively adoptable highways or public open space. If this is not practicable then the sewers will need to be diverted at the developers cost under Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991. or, in the case of apparatus under an adoption agreement, liaise with the owners of the apparatus. It should be noted that the diversion works should normally be completed before development can commence.

 

Environmental Health

(1) Construction outside of normal hours - If construction works are to be considered outside of normal hours especially overnight it is recommended that the applicant applies for a prior consent application under section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974. A consent enables the applicant to conduct the works without the worry of enforcement provided they comply with it. The applicant will have to submit details of any noisy works including type of plant and machinery to be used, proposed daily start and finish times, consultation with nearby residents and businesses and duration and time scales of the works. The applicant should contact the Regulatory Services Team at Southend-on-Sea Borough Council for details.

 

(2) Change of Use Class E - Should the use herby permitted change fully, or part, to Class E paragraphs: (b) sale of food and drink for consumption (mostly) on the premises or (d) indoor sport, recreation or fitness, not involving motorised vehicles or firearms, principally to visiting members of the public, there is a risk of harm to human receptors within existing residential and commercial premises. This is particularly due to the likely required operation outside of normal working hours and over seven days. These risks include:

• Noise from shopfitting and alterations to the premises

• Noise and vibration from the dropping of free or machine weights and medicine balls

• Noise from amplified music played in the premises

• Noise from extract ventilation systems and air conditioning condenser units

• Noise from customer voices internally and leaving and entering the premises

• Odour from extract ventilations systems

• Artificial light from signage

 

Whilst planning permission is not required for a change of use to or within Class E Southend-on-Sea Borough Council has a duty to investigate and enforce statutory nuisances under section 80 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 if the council has established that a nuisance exists or is likely to occur.

 

Therefore where an activity that falls under these paragraphs is proposed it is strongly recommended that an impact assessment of the proposed use is conducted by competent persons. Where likely impacts are established mitigation measures must evaluated and installed to prevent a statutory nuisance from occurring using the best practicable means to do so.

Please note that extensions to the building and installation of extract ventilation systems and other building services are likely to require planning permission. Please contact the local planning authority for advice.

(iv.) In the event that the agreement referred to in part (ii) above has not been completed before 31st January 2022 or an extension of this time as may be agreed by the Director of Planning and Head of Planning and Building Control to refuse planning permission for the application on grounds that the development will not secure the necessary contributions as in part (ii) above and further detailed in Appendix 3 of the Committee Report.
