Additional Information on Contaminated Land Conditions

CLS3 - The property lies within influencing distance of a former landfill waste disposal site/source of ground gas and there is a possibility of risk from migrating landfill/ground gas. The development shall be constructed in such a way as to prevent gas from entering the structure and allowing for ventilation of all potential gas collecting areas. Alternatively the applicant should demonstrate that a landfill gas/ground gas problem is not present and will not arise in the future. The same precautions should also be taken for any future extensions and outbuildings. An agreed scheme to deal with and/or investigate landfill/ground gas shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Council and will be implemented and a completion statement provided to the satisfaction of the Council. This needs to demonstrate that development is suitable for its intended use. The discharge of this planning condition will be given in writing by the Council on completion of the development and once all information specified within this condition and other requested information have been provided to the satisfaction of the Council. The applicant/developer is requested to contact the Council’s Environmental Protection Unit (Tel: 0161 342 2691) as soon as is practicable should contamination be encountered during the development of the site.
