Condition 1: No development or phase of development, including site clearance, shall commence until a site wide or phase Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The CEMP should include: Construction methods: details of materials, how waste generated will be managed. General Site Management: details of the construction programme including details of site construction drainage, containments areas, appropriately sized buffer zones between storage areas (of spoil, oils, fuels, concrete mixing and washing areas) and any watercourse or surface drain. Biodiversity Management: invasive species management (to prevent introduction of Invasive Non-Native Species to the site) Control of Nuisances: details of restrictions to be applied during construction including timing, duration and frequency of works; details of dust control measures. Resource Management: details of fuel and chemical storage and containment; details of waste generation and its management; details of water consumption, wastewater and energy use Traffic Management: details of site deliveries, plant on site, wheel wash facilities Pollution Prevention: demonstrate how relevant Guidelines for Pollution Prevention and best practice will be implemented, including details of emergency spill procedures and incident response plan. We recommend that GPP5 Guidance for Pollution Prevention is followed. Referral to the correct protected sites ir required, as the proposal site is hydrologically linked to the following designated sites: The Dee Estuary / Aber Afon Dyfrdwy Ramsar, SAC, SPA and SSSI. Bunding capacity must be sufficient to contain at least 110% of the volume of the largest container being stored within any storage area(s). Any refuelling should take place at least 10m away from a watercourse, and on a hardstanding area with use of drip tray. The CEMP shall be implemented as approved during the site preparation and construction phases of the development. REASON: A CEMP should be submitted to ensure necessary management measures are agreed prior to commencement of development or phase of development or specified activity and implemented for the protection of the environment during construction in accordance with policy EN18 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan
If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until a remediation strategy detailing how this unsuspected contamination shall be dealt with has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The remediation strategy shall be carried out as approved. REASON: To ensure the risks associated with previously unsuspected contamination at the site are dealt with through a remediation strategy, to minimise the risk to both future users of the land and neighbouring land, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks in accordance with policy EN16 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan
No development (other than site clearance and ground investigations) shall commence until a Landscape and Environmental Management Plan (LEMP) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The LEMP shall be prepared in accordance with the approved drawings and ecological mitigation measures and shall include, but not be limited to: A description and evaluation of landscape and ecological features to be retained, created, enhanced and managed; Details of planting proposals, habitat creation and green infrastructure provision, including species mixes, sizes, densities and implementation phasing; Biodiversity enhancement measures, including provision for protected and priority species where appropriate; Long-term management objectives and prescriptions for all landscaped and habitat areas; A timetable for implementation; Details of maintenance responsibilities and funding arrangements; Monitoring measures and review mechanisms for a minimum period of 5 years following completion of the development (or longer where specified). The development shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved LEMP, and the approved measures shall be retained and managed for the lifetime of the development in accordance with the agreed management prescriptions. REASON: To ensure the protection, enhancement and long-term management of landscape character, biodiversity and green infrastructure in accordance with Policies STR13 and EN7 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan
