Dear Sir/Madam

Proposal: Notification of prior approval for a proposed Change use of agricultural building to a dwellinghouse (Class C3) and for associated operational development Location: New England Farm Road, Tadlow, Royston, Cambridgeshire, SG8 0EN Applicant: Wentzel Partnership

I refer to your application for the above development.

It has been determined that the prior approval of the Local Planning Authority is GRANTED for the change of use as proposed. As such, you may go ahead and change the use of the premises subject to compliance with the following requirements:

 The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: Location Plan (Scale 1:1250), Drawing Nos. 1020-18.04 , 1020-18.03 Rev A. (Reason - To facilitate any future application to the Local Planning Authority under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990).

 No development shall commence until a Phase I Environmental Desk Study has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The desk study shall include the following: a)The application site has been subject to a detailed scheme for the investigation and recording of contamination and remediation objectives have been determined through risk assessment and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. b) Detailed proposals for the removal, containment or otherwise rendering harmless any contamination (the Remediation method statement) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. c) The works specified in the remediation method statement have been completed, and a Verification report submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, in accordance with the approved scheme. d) If, during remediation works, any contamination is identified that has not been considered in the remediation method statement, then remediation proposals for this material should be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. (Reason – To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with Policy SC/11 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018).

 No development above slab level shall commence until a scheme of biodiversity enhancement shall be supplied to the local planning authority for its written approval. The approved scheme shall be fully implemented within an agreed timescale unless otherwise agreed in writing. (Reason - To enhance ecological interests in accordance with policy NH/4 of the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018 and 174 and 175 of the NPPF 2018).

 That the change of use must be completed within 3 years of the date of this permission.

Failure to comply with the above requirements will result in the change of use not being permitted development. If that situation occurs, then you will have to formally apply to the Council to receive planning permission for the change of use.

Yours faithfully

Stephen Kelly Joint Director for Planning and Economic Development for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire
