4.	RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION

4.1.	CDC Environmental Proection: Based on the information provided (i.e. there will only be standard toilet and office extraction) I am satisfied that condition 5 can discharged. 
5.	APPRAISAL

Condition 2

5.1.	Condition 2 requires details of the doors and windows prior to installation. The reason for the imposition of the condition was to ensure appropriate detailing on the industrial units in accordance with the design details approved at the reserved matters stage. 

5.2.	The proposed details are considered to be appropriate and reflect the approved design. The curtain walling system proposed, has been used on previous phases of development on this site and therefore will provide visual continuity.  It is therefore recommended that condition 2 be cleared in accordance with the details submitted with this application (as detailed in the recommendation section below). 
Condition 5
5.3.	Condition 5 requires details of any mechanical ventilation equipment or extraction equipment to be submitted prior to the first occupation of the development. The reason for the condition is to minimise the risk of nuisance arising from smells. 
5.4.	The application has not submitted any details as they have stated ‘There will be no mechanical ventilation within the unit beyond that associated with standard toilet and office air extraction’. A similar approach was taken, and accepted on previous phases of the development. The Council’s Environmental Protection Officer is satisfied with this approach and recommended the condition can be discharged. 
5.5.	I consider this position to be acceptable as the reason for the condition specifically relates to odour control.  Furthermore, the condition states ‘full details of any mechanical ventilation or extraction equipment (if applicable)’, therefore the condition does not require formal discharge if no ventilation/extraction is proposed. Notwithstanding this, the applicant has sought formal discharge of the condition, likely for completeness of their records.
5.6.	The position stated is considered to be acceptable. The applicant will be bound by the information they have provided and should any ventilation/extraction equipment be required in the future, they will need to obtain the appropriate consent.
