The Committee considered an application for construction of 229 dwellings together with associated car and cycle parking, refuse and recycling storage and soft and hard landscaping provision. The Committee expressed its thanks to the planning officer , Rosie Baker, in appreciation of the considerable amount of work she had undertaken, in liaison with the local members, to achieve current revised scheme which met with general satisfaction and approval. The scheme provided an additional 43 dwellings but the amount of open green space had not been compromised in any way, and additional parking provision was being provided beyond the approved standard which was to be commended. Members asked whether it would be possible to prevent large construction vehicles accessing the site during school arrival and departure times and it was agreed that condition 13 Construction Management Plan would be amended to address this. The local members asked to be kept advised when details of landscaping, parking and other issues were formalised and officers confirmed that they would be consulted.

1. Your attention is drawn to the safety benefits of installing sprinkler systems as an integral part of new development. Further information is available at www.firesprinklers.info.
2. Your attention is drawn to the fact that this permission is subject to a legal agreement the provisions of which should be complied with in full. A payment of infrastructure contributions is required and there is a requirement to notify the Council in advance of commencement of development. Payment of then becomes due.
On commencement of development, notice should be sent to the Planning Authority in writing or email to planning.applications@reigate-banstead.gov.uk advising that works have started. The sum described above is payable within a period of 28 days from commencement of development.
The development, once started, will be monitored by my enforcement staff to ensure compliance with the legal agreement and the conditions. Failure to pay the agreed infrastructure contribution will result in legal action being taken against the developer and/or owner of the land for default of the relevant agreement. 3. The applicant is advised that prior to the initial occupation of any individual dwelling house hereby permitted, a 140 litre wheeled bin conforming to British Standard BSEN840 and a 60 litre recycling box should be provided for the exclusive use of the occupants of that home. Prior to the initial occupation of any communal dwellings or flats, wheeled refuse bins conforming to British Standard BSEN840, separate recycling bins for paper/card and mixed cans, and storage facilities for the bins should be installed by the developer prior to the initial occupation of any dwelling hereby permitted. Further details on the required number and specification of wheeled bins and recycling boxes is available from the Council’s Neighbourhood Services on 01737 276501 or 01737 276097, or on the Council’s website at www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk. Bins and boxes meeting the specification may be purchased from any appropriate source, including the Council’s Neighbourhood Services Unit on 01737 276775. 4. You are advised that the Council will expect the following measures to be taken during any building operations to control noise, pollution and parking:
(a) Work that is audible beyond the site boundary should only be carried out between 08:00hrs to 18:00hrs Monday to Friday, 08:00hrs to 13:00hrs Saturday and not at all on Sundays or any Public and/or Bank Holidays;
(b) The quietest available items of plant and machinery should be used on site. Where permanently sited equipment such as generators are necessary, they should be enclosed to reduce noise levels;
(c) Deliveries should only be received within the hours detailed in (a) above;
(d) Adequate steps should be taken to prevent dust-causing nuisance beyond the site boundary. Such uses include the use of hoses to damp down stockpiles of materials, which are likely to generate airborne dust, to damp down during stone/slab cutting; and the use of bowsers and wheel washes;
(e) There should be no burning on site;
(f) Only minimal security lighting should be used outside the hours stated above; and
(g) Building materials and machinery should not be stored on the highway and contractors’ vehicles should be parked with care so as not to cause an obstruction or block visibility on the highway.
Further details of these noise and pollution measures can be obtained from the Council’s Environmental Health Services Unit. In order to meet these requirements and to promote good neighbourliness, the Council recommends that this site is registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme - www.ccscheme.org.uk/index.php/site-registration. 5. The north western corner of applicant site (plots F1 and F8) are situated on or in close proximity to land that could be potentially contaminated by virtue of previous historical use of the land, a potentially infilled former pond. As a result there is the potential for a degree of ground contamination to be present beneath part(s) of the site. Groundworkers should be made aware of this so suitable mitigation measures and personal protective equipment measures (if required) are put in place and used. Should significant ground contamination be identified in this location or elsewhere across the site then the Local Planning Authority should be contacted promptly for further guidance. 6. The applicant is advised that the essential requirements for an acceptable communication plan forming part of a Method of Construction Statement are viewed as: (i) how those likely to be affected by the site's activities are identified and how they will be informed about the project, site activities and programme; (ii) how neighbours will be notified prior to any noisy/disruptive work or of any significant changes to site activity that may affect them; (iii) the arrangements that will be in place to ensure a reasonable telephone response during working hours; (iv) the name and contact details of the site manager who will be able to deal with complaints; and (v) how those who are interested in or affected will be routinely advised regarding the progress of the work. Registration and operation of the site to the standards set by the Considerate Constructors Scheme (http://www.ccscheme.org.uk/) would help fulfil these requirements. 7. The Highway Authority has no objection to the proposed development, subject to the above conditions but, if it is the applicant’s intention to offer any of the roadworks included in the application for adoption as maintainable highways, permission under the Town and Country Planning Act should not be construed as approval to the highway engineering details necessary for inclusion in an Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980. Further details about the post-planning adoption of roads may be obtained from the Transportation Development Planning Division of Surrey County Council. 8. The permission hereby granted shall not be construed as authority to carry out any works on the highway. The applicant is advised that a permit and a Section 278 or 38 agreement must be obtained from the Highway Authority before any works are carried out on any footway, footpath, carriageway, verge or other land forming part of the highway. All works on the highway will require a permit and an application will need to submitted to the County Council's Street Works Team up to 3 months in advance of the intended start date, depending on the scale of the works proposed and the classification of the road. Please see:http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/road-permits-and-licences/the-traffic-management-permit-scheme. 9. The developer is reminded that it is an offence to allow materials to be carried from the site and deposited on or damage the highway from uncleaned wheels or badly loaded vehicles. The Highway Authority will seek, wherever possible, to recover any expenses incurred in clearing, cleaning or repairing highway surfaces and prosecutes persistent offenders. (Highways Act 1980 Sections 131, 148, 149). 10. The developer is advised that as part of the detailed design of the highway works required by the above conditions, the County Highway Authority may require necessary accommodation works to street lights, road signs, road markings, highway drainage, surface covers, street trees, highway verges, highway surfaces, surface edge restraints and any other street furniture/equipment. 11. The developer would be expected to instruct an independent transportation data collection company to undertake the monitoring survey for the Travel Plan. This survey should conform to a TRICS Multi-Modal Survey format consistent with the UK Standard for Measuring Travel Plan Impacts as approved by the Highway Authority. To ensure that the survey represents typical travel patterns, the organisation taking ownership of the travel plan will need to agree to being surveyed only within a specified annual quarter period but with no further notice of the precise survey dates. The Developer would be expected to fund the survey validation and data entry costs. 12. Consideration should be given to the use of low level lighting in parking courts and the sensitive use of lighting to mitigate the impact of external lighting on landscaped areas, with reference to protected species habitats in accordance with the recommendations of the Richard Graves Associates Extended Phase 1 Habitat Update 2016. 13. The applicant is advised to notify the relevant statutory electricity undertaker of the presence of condition 29 removing permitted development rights.
