Outline application for the development of a single dwelling with all matters reserved except access

1. Subject to the imposition of the attached conditions, the proposal is acceptable having been assessed in the light of all material considerations, including weighing against relevant policies of the development plan.
2. Approval of details of the appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale (hereinafter called 'the reserved matters') shall be obtained from the Local Planning Authority in writing before any development is commenced. Reason: To ensure that the development meets the policy standards required by the development plan and any other material considerations including national and local policy guidance.
3. Application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the Local Planning Authority before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: In accordance with the provisions of Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
4. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: - Proposed block plan – PP03 REVBB Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
5. If, during development, contamination not previously considered is identified, then the Local Planning Authority shall be notified immediately, and no further work shall be carried out until a method statement detailing a scheme for dealing with the suspect contamination has been submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. The development shall thereafter not be carried out except in complete accordance with the approved scheme. Reason: To ensure potential risks arising from previous site uses have been fully assessed in accordance with Policy LP33 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and paragraph 196 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
6. The development hereby permitted shall be begun either before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission, or before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved, whichever is the later. Reason: In accordance with the provisions of Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
7. No development shall take place within the area indicated (this would be the area of archaeological interest) until the applicant, or their agents or successors in title, has secured the implementation of a programme of archaeological work, in accordance with a written scheme of investigation which has been submitted by the applicant and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure that archaeological remains are not disturbed or damaged by foundations and other groundwork but are, where appropriate, preserved in situ, in accordance with Planning Policy Guidance (PPG16 Archaeology and Planning), Policies BE44 and BE45 of the Peterborough Local Plan (adopted 1996) and Policies CBE1 and CBE2 of the Peterborough Local Plan (First Replacement) (second stage deposit 2002).
8. Prior to the commencement of development, a surface water drainage scheme shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include but not be limited to: o Demonstration of the discharge surface run off being as high up the hierarchy of drainage options as reasonably practicable and the use of treatment trains. o Demonstration of the areas of permeable and non-permeable hard surfacing. o Details of existing surface water risk of the site. o Discharge rates limited to the greenfield 1 in 1 year rate or 1l/s, whichever is lower. Where it is not possible to meet the greenfield 1 in 1 rate, demonstration of its unfeasibility shall be provided, and rainwater re-use should be used to reduce the runoff rate from the site. o Sufficient storage should be provided to ensure no internal flooding as a result of the development during all storm events up to and including the 1 in 30 year storm event and no off site flooding as a result of the development during all storm events up to and including the 1 in 100 year plus 40% climate change event. o Infiltration testing/ground investigation to assess the viability of using infiltration on site- there should be some ground testing for geology and then the worst case rates for that soil type should be used. o If the site is directing water to a single point of infiltration, then we would need to see infiltration testing for that location. However, if the water is being distributed evenly across the site as the rain lands on the ground, then we do not require infiltration testing as it is mimicking natural processes. o A site layout, location of features, outfall location, exceedance flows and conveyance. o A 10% allowance for urban creep must be included within the storage calculations. o Detailed engineering drawings of each component of the drainage scheme. Reason: To prevent the increased risk of flooding and to improve and protect water quality, in accordance with policy LP32 of the Peterborough Local Plan 2019 and Chapter 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024. The condition is pre-commencement as it would be unreasonable to require applicants to undertake this work prior to consent being granted and the details need to be agreed before construction begins.
9. The development hereby permitted shall not begin unless and until a biodiversity net gain plan has been submitted to and agreed in writing with by the Local Planning Authority. The biodiversity net gain plan shall address the following matters: (a) information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat (b) the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat (c) the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat (d) any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development (e) any biodiversity credits purchased for the development, and (f) such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify. Thereafter, the development shall be carried out in accordance with the agreed approved details. Reason: In accordance with the requirements of Schedule 14, Part 1 of paragraph 14 of the Environment Act 2021 and Policy LP28 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019). This is a reminder of the statutory condition as outlined in the Environment Act.
10. Prior to first use of the access and parking area hereby approved, the vehicular access and parking areas shall be laid out and completed in accordance with drawing Proposed block plan – PP03 REVBB and retained in perpetuity. Reason: In the interest of highway safety, in accordance with Policy LP13 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Paragraph 115 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.
