Reason In the interests of highway safety and the safe and convenient flow of traffic.
- Notwithstanding details shown on the approved plans, no part of the development hereby approved shall commence above ground level until a scheme detailing soft landscaping has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The details shall be in the form as specified in Annex C of the Supplementary Planning Guidance 'Trees, Landscape and Development'. Thereafter the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason In the interest of visual amenity of the area and in accordance with Local Plan Policies CP3, CP12, CP14 and the NPPF.

The verification methodology shall include: • The sampling frequency. • Testing schedules and the criteria against which the results of that analysis will be assessed (as determined by the risk assessment). The developer shall implement the approved soil validation and submit a verification report to the Local Planning Authority for approval. The development shall thereafter take place in full accordance with the requirements and recommendations set out in the approved report. Reason To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.

- The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that, subject to some exemptions, every grant of planning permission in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the biodiversity gain condition that development may not begin unless: (a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the Planning Authority, and (b) the Planning Authority has approved the plan. This objective is for development to deliver at least a 10% increase in biodiversity value relative to the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat. This increase can be achieved through onsite biodiversity gains, registered offsite biodiversity gains or statutory biodiversity credits, in that order of priority. There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. These can be found at Biodiversity net gain: exempt developments - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). The Planning Authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan in respect of this permission is Cannock Chase Council. The Biodiversity Gain Plan should be submitted as an ‘application for approval of details reserved by condition following grant of planning permission’ via the Planning Portal. When submitting an application to discharge the biodiversity gain condition the LPA requests that the applicant uses the standard national templates for a Biodiversity Gain Plan and a Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan. Submit a biodiversity gain plan - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) The biodiversity gain condition cannot be removed or varied.
- Notes to Developer Coal Authority The proposed development lies within a coal mining area which may contain unrecorded coal mining related hazards.
