Dear Mr Lewis

DISCHARGE OF CONDITIONS 25, 30, 33 & 46: OUTLINE APPLICATION FOR NEW SETTLEMENT OF 1075 DWELLINGS, TOGETHER WITH ASSOCIATED WORKS AND FACILITIES INCLUDING EMPLOYMENT USES, COMMUNITY USES, SCHOOL, PLAYING FIELDS AND OTHER PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE.   
HEYFORD PARK, CAMP ROAD, UPPER HEYFORD      

Thank you for your consultation which we received on 30 April 2010. 

We are not able to recommend the partial discharge of condition 33. The letter from Waterman, Energy, Environment & Design Ltd dated 08 April 2010 states that the formal submission of the fully worked up scheme of investigation for the flying field and the POL system will be submitted by 10 July 2010. We will be able to comment further when we have reviewed this document, which should include time frames for the proposed site investigations.
 
Regarding condition 46, the content of the statement concerning groundwater protection measures for the car storage area does not allow us to recommend partial discharge of this condition. Whilst we appreciate that there may be some uncertainty of the exact position of the car storage area, at this stage we require a general strategy for the pollution, prevention and control (PPC) measures, relating the car storage activities with the geology and groundwater protection.  The report should detail PPC measures such as use of impermeable surfaces, bunded areas where petroleum hydrocarbons may leak and oil interceptors for highway run off. We are also unable to recommend the partial discharge of condition 46.

We have no comments to make on conditions 25 and 30.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Ms Michelle Kidd
