Biodiversity Net Gain Informative The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition (biodiversity gain condition) that development may not begin unless: a) a Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority, and b) the planning authority has approved the plan. The planning authority, for the purposes of determining whether to approve a Biodiversity Gain Plan, if one is required in respect of this permission, would be Cambridge City Council. There are statutory exemptions, transitional arrangements and requirements relating to irreplaceable habitat which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply. In the opinion of the Cambridge City Council (the local planning authority), one or more of the exemptions / transitional arrangements are considered to apply and a Biodiversity Gain Condition is not required to be approved before development is begun. Informatives 1

The pipe between the downpipes and main system appears to be positioned beneath a building. It is acknowledged that this system will be maintained by the client/owner and therefore will not be adopted, however this practice contradicts the principles outlined in Paragraph 8, Section C3.1 of Sewers for Adoption 7th Edition A Design & Construction Guide for Developer which states that: 'surface water sewers and lateral drains should not normally be constructed under any building…Where it is not reasonably practicable to route the sewer around the

25/02161/FUL

Page 14

building, surface water sewers with a nominal internal diameter of no more than 100 mm may be laid under a building, provided that the sewer takes the drainage from no more than one rainwater pipe…" 2

Surface water and groundwater bodies are highly vulnerable to pollution and the impact of construction activities. It is essential that the risk of pollution (particularly during the construction phase) is considered and mitigated appropriately. It is important to remember that flow within the watercourse is likely to vary by season and it could be dry at certain times throughout the year. Dry watercourses should not be overlooked as these watercourses may flow or even flood following heavy rainfall

Prior to final handover of the development, the developer must ensure that appropriate remediation of all surface water drainage infrastructure has taken place, particularly where the permanent drainage infrastructure has been installed early in the construction phase. This may include but is not limited to jetting of all pipes, silt removal and reinstating bed levels. Developers should also ensure that watercourses have been appropriately maintained and remediated, with any obstructions to flows (such as debris, litter and fallen trees) removed, ensuring the condition of the watercourse is better than initially found. This is irrespective of the proposed method of surface water disposal, particularly if an ordinary watercourse is riparian owned.

Partial discharge of the Archaeology condition can be applied for once the fieldwork at Part c) has been completed to enable the commencement of development. Part d) of the condition shall not be discharged until all elements have been fulfilled in accordance with the programme set out in the WSI.

Due to the site being within 6km of Cambridge City Airport the crane operator is required to submit all crane details such as maximum height, operating radius, name and phone number of site manager along with installation and dismantling dates to the CAA Airspace Coordination and Obstacle Management Service (ACOMS) system.

Cadent Gas Ltd own and operate the gas infrastructure within the area of your development. There may be a legal interest (easements and other rights) in the land that restrict activity in proximity to Cadent assets in private land. The applicant must ensure that the proposed works do not infringe on legal rights of access and or restrictive covenants that exist. If buildings or structures are proposed directly above the apparatus the development may only take place following diversion of the apparatus. The applicant should apply online to have apparatus diverted in advance of any works, by visiting cadentgas.com/diversions Prior to carrying out works, including the construction of access points, please register on www.linesearchbeforeudig.co.uk to submit details of the planned works for review, ensuring requirements are adhered to.

The following are recommended to be added to any Traffic Management Plan: Contractor Parking All contractor and subcontractor parking will be accommodated off the adopted public highway. No parking associated with the development will take place on surrounding streets.

Trees and scrub are likely to contain nesting birds between 1 March and 31 August. Trees within the application should be assumed to contain nesting birds between the above dates unless a survey has shown it is absolutely certain that nesting birds are not present.

If a proposed development requires revisions to make it acceptable the LPA will provide an opinion as to how this might be achieved. The LPA will work with the applicant to advise on what information is necessary for the submission of an application and what additional information might help to minimise the need for planning conditions. When an application is acceptable, but requires further details, conditions will be used to make a development acceptable. Joint 25/02161/FUL

Listed Building and Planning decisions will be issued together. Where applications are refused clear reasons for refusal will identify why a development is unacceptable and will help the applicant to determine whether and how the proposal might be revised to make it acceptable. In relation to this application, it was considered and the process managed in accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Parking Controls Please note: On-street parking controls, including residents' parking schemes, are in operation in several parts of the City of Cambridge. There are restrictions on eligibility for residents' parking permits, even for residents within the areas covered by schemes. Implementing a planning consent can remove eligibility for a permit. The County Council can advise whether or not properties qualify for a Residents' Parking Permit. If in doubt, please contact Cambridgeshire County Council, Cambridgeshire Parking Services by telephoning (01223) 727900 or by e-mailing parkingpermits@cambridgeshire.gov.uk, mentioning this planning consent. Please also be aware that the criteria for granting parking permits may change from time to time. Appeals to the Secretary of State The applicant has a right to appeal to the Secretary of State against any conditions of this planning permission, under Section 78 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990. The appeal must be made on a form which may be obtained from: The Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol. BS1 6PN Telephone 0303 444 5000 or visit https://www.gov.uk/appeal-planning-decision If an enforcement notice is or has been served relating to the same or substantially the same land and development as in your application and if you want to appeal against your local planning authority’s decision on your application, then you must do so within: 28 days of the date of service of the enforcement notice, OR within 6 months (12 weeks in the case of a householder or minor commercial appeal) of the date of this notice, whichever period expires earlier. The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal. The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that the Local Planning Authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any development order and to any directions given under a development order. In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the Local Planning Authority based their decision on a direction given by him.

Purchase Notices If the Local Planning Authority or the Secretary of State grants permission subject to conditions the owner may claim that he/she can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted. In these circumstances the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council to purchase his interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Before starting work It is important that all conditions, particularly pre-commencement conditions, are fully complied with, and where appropriate, discharged prior to the implementation of the development. Failure to discharge such conditions may invalidate the planning permission granted. The development must be carried out fully in accordance with the requirements of any details approved by condition. Street Naming and Numbering In order to obtain an official postal address, any new buildings should be formally registered with Cambridgeshire City Council. Unregistered addresses cannot be passed to Royal Mail for allocation of postcodes. Applicants can find additional information, a scale of charges and an application form at https://www.3csharedservices.org/building-control/street-naming-and-numbering/. Alternatively, applicants can contact the Street Naming and Numbering Team by emailing: snn@3csharedservices.org. Please note new addresses cannot be assigned by the Council until planning permission has been received. Third Party Rights to challenge a planning decision Currently there are no third party rights of appeal through the planning system against a decision of a Local Planning Authority. Therefore, if you have concerns about a planning application and permission is granted, you cannot appeal that decision. Any challenge under current legislation would have to be made outside the planning system through a process called Judicial Review. A ‘claim for judicial review’ includes a claim to review the lawfulness of a decision, action or failure to act in relation to the exercise of a public function, in this case, a planning decision. The court’s permission to proceed is required in a claim for Judicial Review. A claim for Judicial Review is dealt with by the Administrative Court and if leave to judicially review a planning decision is granted, the Judicial Review will be decided by a judge at the High Court. An application to Judicial Review a decision must be made within 6 weeks of the decision about which you have a grievance being made. For further information on judicial review and the contact details for the Administrative Courts, please go to http://www.justice.gov.uk/
