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 Schedule 2 Part 3 Paragraph W(13) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
