- No development shall take place in respect of Units C, D or E until the applicant, their agents or their successors title have secured the implementation of a watching brief to be undertaken by an archaeologist and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in order that the excavation may be observed and items of interest and finds recorded. The watching brief shall be in accordance with a written programme and specification which has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved scheme shall be implemented in full including any post development requirements e.g. archiving and submission of final reports. Reason: To ensure that features of archaeological interest are properly examined and recorded in accordance with Policy LP19 of the Adopted Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) Approved details/documents/plans: - Archaeological Monitoring and Recording Report No. J418 April 2026 Assessment: Under 25/00476/DISCHG, condition 3 was partially discharged following the submission of a watching brief. The Archaeological Officer has advised condition 3 may now be fully discharged following the submission of archaeology monitoring and recording. The submitted document is acceptable in line with policy LP19 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024)(2025 as amended). Conclusion: Subject to satisfactory implementation on site this condition is hereby discharged.
- The remediation scheme Lucion Ground Engineering Ltd Remediation report Ref: AJM/115930.2 dated 23 December 2024 shall be implemented in accordance with the approved timetable of works. Within 3 months of the completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a validation report (that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out) must be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In order to ensure that contamination is appropriately characterised and remediated in the interests of groundwater quality and human health, in accordance with Policy LP33 of the adopted Peterborough Local Plan. This is a pre-commencement condition as ground conditions must be remediated in advance of other below ground works commencing. Approved details/documents/plans: - Uk membranes Ltd Certificate of Handover (received - VERIFICATION REPORT FOR UNIT E Report Reference No. 146460 - GROUND GAS PROTECTION GP® 5 TECHNICAL DATA SHEET - Email dated 17.07.2026 (Agent confirming Gas Membrane document relates to Unit E) Assessment: The Environmental Health Officer was consulted and initially raised an objection. The submitted verification report identifies and addresses only Unit E of the development, and does not address Units C and D. The consultee also raised that information was required regarding gas membrane. Further information was received to address the gas membrane, and it was clarified that the Agent/Applicant wish to discharge this condition in relation to Unit E only. Officers considered this an acceptable approach to allow for partial discharge. The Environmental Health Officer reviewed submitted documents including the gas membrane document requested and raised no objection in relation to Unit E. It is therefore considered that the submitted information addresses the requirements of the condition in relation to Unit E only and would accord with LP33 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019). Conclusion: Subject to satisfactory implementation on site, this condition is partially discharged for unit E only.
