CONSULTATION RESPONSES(Edit)
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council (Environmental Protection)(Edit)
I note that a Remediation Design Statement in support of partial discharge of condition 17 has been submitted.
Chapter H Ground conditions and remediation for R-2020/0357/OOM-Officer Report Section H4.4 states:
It is important to note that four specific land parcels are enveloped by, but excluded from, the proposed development area which may be nonetheless potentially significant off-site sources of contamination. These areas are listed and shown in
Figure 1 below
1 Former SSI High Tip - Iron and steel by-products landfill;
2 Highfield Environmental Facilities – Hazardous and non-hazardous waste landfill;
3 Hanson Concrete and Tarmac Teesside leasehold areas; and
4 South Bank Coke Ovens (SBCO) – Figure1
However, the Clarkebond remediation design statement includes the coke ovens shown the proposed masterplan in Figure 2
Figure 2
Figure 3 shows the area in relation to the area covered by the outline permission (R-2020/0357/OOM-Officer Report) (black line boundary) and it is only this area that can be discharged at this time.
Figure 3
Section 6.0 of the document requires verification reporting therefore there will be a requirement for this to be submitted as part of the approved document.
The regulators LA and EA should also be informed in the event of any unexpected contamination.
The remediation design strategy is acceptable to partially discharge condition 17 however, this is only currently applicable to the area enclose by the black boundary line as denoted in Figure 3.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS(Edit)
In granting the original permission, a condition was attached to the approval relating to the phasing of the development. The condition relating to phasing was condition 4, which has been submitted for initial discharge based on the information currently held by the developer.
The information that has been submitted in support of this application relates to the provision of a Remediation Design Statement pursuant to the proposed SeAH development (Phase 3 of the outline approval R-2020/0357/OOM-Officer Report).
The submitted information has been considered by the Council’s environmental protection team.
Given the current position in terms of available information supporting the application, no objection is raised to the proposed statement, however it is noted that Section 6.0 of the submitted document requires verification reporting. There will therefore be a requirement for this to be submitted as part of the approved document at a time when it is available. The applicant is to be made aware of these requirements on the decision notice.
The regulators in the form of the Local Authority and Environment Agency should also be informed in the event of any unexpected contamination that is encountered during the implementation of the approved scheme.
Based on the information provided in so far as it relates to Phase 3 of the outline application (Reserved Matters for first end user SeAH Monopile Manufacturing
Facility), it is considered that the condition can be partially discharged
RECOMMENDATION(Edit)
Taking into account the content of the report the recommendation is to partially discharge condition 17 of application R-2020/0357/OOM-Officer Report in so far as it relates to Phase 3 of the outline application (Reserved Matters for first end user SeAH Monopile Manufacturing Facility).
INFORMATIVE CONDITIONS(Edit)
Informative Note: The applicant is advised that Section 6 of the Remediation Design Strategy (Report No. L05858-CLK-XX-XX-RP-GT-0005) requires reporting to be undertaken. The applicant should ensure that all requirements of this section of the report are adhered to.
