APPROVAL OF NON MATERIAL AMENDMENT(S)

Cherwell District Council, as Local Planning Authority, hereby approves the non material amendments described above in accordance with drawing number(s)

Cherwell District Council, as Local Planning Authority, hereby approves the non-material amendment to planning permission 10/01780/HYBRID with amendments to the wording of planning conditions 53 and 69 as set out below: 

Condition 53

Prior to work commencing on any phase, as identified in condition 2, details of existing and proposed site levels and a plan showing the details of the finished floor levels of the proposed dwellings and/ or commercial buildings in relation to existing ground levels on the site within that phase shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: In the interests of the visual amenities of the area, to ensure the proposed development is in scale and harmony with its neighbours and surroundings and to comply with Policy C28 of the adopted Cherwell Local Plan.

Condition 69

No development of a phase approved by this permission shall begin until a surface water drainage scheme (in broad accordance with the drainage strategy for the Exemplar site) for that phase, based on sustainable drainage principles and to OCC adoptable standards, and an assessment of the hydrological and hydrogeological context of the development, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall subsequently be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is completed. The scheme shall also include: 

o	How the drainage arrangements for the particular phase/s works alongside other phases to provide an acceptable overall site wide scheme;
o	Capacity to contain the 1 in 30 year storm event with the drainage attenuation and conveyance features;
o	The ability to manage storm events up to and including the 1 in 100 year storm event (with a 30% allowance for climate change) safely on site, while avoiding risk to properties and others;
o	A range of best practice sustainable drainage techniques including permeable paving, swales, basins, ponds and wetlands in accordance with the Drainage Strategy re. 7501-UA001818-UP21-R-02 and Section 4 of the Flood Risk Assessment 3501-UA001881-UU41R-03 (Hyder, June 2011);
o	Measures to increase discharges into the local watercourses to improve local biodiversity;
o	Full planting schedules utilising species of native and local provenance of each SUDs feature including proposed wetland features;
o	No infiltration of surface water into the ground where there is a presence of contaminated land unless it has been demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to controlled waters. 

Reason: The Drainage Strategy and FRA show that a successful scheme can be designed into this development to effectively manage and reduce flood risk, to improve water quality and improve habitat and amenity. Plans ref. 7161-03 and 7160-03 in the FRA show surface water pipe runs. These are indicative plans and where feasible pipe runs should be omitted in favour of ditches and swales.

The non-material amendment application, hereby approved, does not nullify the conditions imposed in respect of planning permission 10/01780/HYBRID as a whole. These conditions must be adhered to so as to ensure that the development is lawful.
