Investigation of potentially contaminated sites Code of Practice, and, unless otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority; (b) A site investigation report documenting the ground conditions of the site and incorporating chemical and gas analysis identified as appropriate by the desk study in accordance with BS10175:2001, and, unless otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority; (c) A detailed scheme for remedial and measures to be undertaken to avoid the risk from contaminants and/or gases when the site is developed and proposals for future maintenance and monitoring. Such a scheme shall include nomination of a competent person to oversee the implementation of the works. Reason: To minimise the risk from land contamination for public safety.’ As part of the discharge of condition for the outline application, and to support the reserved matters application for landscaping, further investigation has been carried out and additional information has been provided. This information was reviewed and the Council’s Environmental Health officers confirmed that, while some additional information was required in relation to ground gas, they were satisfied this could be addressed and dealt with under the condition imposed on the outline permission and did not impact the landscape scheme under consideration as part of this reserved matters application. An updated report has subsequently been submitted to the LPA and any further updates will be provided to Members at the Local Area Committee meeting. In brief, the following contamination assessment project works were undertaken on the 23rd June 2015, between the 2nd and 17th November 2015 and on the 14th April 2016, and comprised: 10No. windowless sampler boreholes; 10No. dynamic probes; 5No. dual purpose groundwater/gas monitoring wells; 3No. machine excavated pits; 5No cable percussive boreholes; Soil-Gas and groundwater monitoring; Geotechnical laboratory testing; Contamination laboratory testing. The depth of the holes varied between 3-20m below ground level (bgl). The following soils were identified:
