Part b) of the Condition requires a ‘post-completion report’ following the completion of the building works on-site. As such, this application seeks to provide the details of sound insulation testing that was carried out on the completed phase of the development, comprising Blocks A – D, in accordance with the requirements of Condition 16(b). The applicant has already submitted the post-completion report relevant to Block E of the development under application ref. 21/1486 and these details have been accepted by Environmental Health. It has come the Applicant’s attention that the information pertaining to the other phase of the development was not submitted after the testing was completed. Therefore, it is proposed to formally submit the relevant details for the Council’s approval to fully discharge Condition 16. The report confirms ‘Internal measurements were taken throughout the day and the night over a weekend period …and the results demonstrate compliance with the specification for both living rooms and bedrooms.’ We trust the information provided is sufficient to register and validate the application. The post- completion report has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of Condition 16b of Permission 16/0304 and the condition can now be fully discharged.
