Decision & conditions
Decision notice - 7/1/26Planning conditions
- Covering letter (Newlands Developments) Site Location Plan LHR-PHP-XX-XX-DR-A-4318-1000-P01 (Newlands Developments) Construction Environmental Management Plan (Collins Demolition Limited) Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (Ramboll) Quality Management Plan (Site) (Collins Demolition Limited) Demolition Plan and Risk Register (Collins Demolition Limited) Pre-Demolition Audit (Collins Demolition Limited) Arboricultural Assessment and Method Statement including Tree Retention Plan and Tree Protection Plan (FPCR)
- INFORMATIVE 1: Prior to any demolition, redevelopment or refurbishment works taking place an appropriate Asbestos Survey should be undertaken by an asbestos licensed/authorised company/person and any recommendations implemented. For pre-demolition assessment the asbestos survey is fully intrusive and will involve a destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas. Where presence of asbestos is suspected the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Environment Agency must be notified and special waste regulations complied with; asbestos removal activities fall under the remit of the HSE.
