21.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- Great Yarmouth Borough Council has a duty to ensure that roads and streets within the Borough are properly named and that the properties fronting onto them are appropriately numbered. Therefore it is essential that once planning permission has been granted, and prior to the completion of development, the developer/owner applies for an official address. This Authority has adopted the legislation set out in sections 17, 18 and 19 of The Public Health Act 1925. In common with most neighbouring local authorities, Great Yarmouth Borough Council is introducing charging for the street naming and numbering of new developments from the 1st January 2020. Charges and more information can be seen on the Council's website here: https://www.great-yarmouth.gov.uk/street-naming-numbering
22.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- Air Quality - Construction: The site will potentially generate a significant amount of dust during the construction process; therefore, the following measures should be employed: · An adequate supply of water shall be available for suppressing dust. · Mechanical cutting equipment with integral dust suppression should be used. · There shall be no burning of any materials on site, or burial of asbestos, which should instead be removed by an EA licenced waste carrier, and the waste transfer notes retained as evidence. Construction noise notification: The applicant is strongly recommended to advise neighbouring businesses and residential occupiers of the proposals, including any periods of potentially significant disturbance e.g. demolition or piling, together with contact details in the event of problems. Contamination Disclaimer: The responsibility for the safe development and secure occupancy of the site rests with the developer. The local planning authority has determined the application on the basis of the information available to it, but this does not mean that the land is free from contamination, or that the land could not be declared Contaminated Land in future.
23.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- As informed by the submitted Preliminary Ecology Appraisal: - The applicant is reminded that, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended (section 1), it is an offence to remove, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while the nest is in use or being built. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this act. While trees and scrub are likely to contain nesting birds between 1st March and 31st August inclusive buildings can also support nesting birds. If works occur during the nesting period a careful check of the building by a competent ecologist should be undertaken to assess the nesting bird activity on the site during this period and has shown it is absolutely certain that nesting birds are not present. - Removal of debris must be undertaken by hand and piles slowly dismantled to ensure if any Hedgehogs, Common Amphibians or Small Mammals are present, they can be carefully removed (or allowed to disperse) to minimise likelihood of injury. - Should these species be found a receptor area may be required for translocation. - It is recommended that a suitable refugia is created prior to construction which can serve as a receptor for any wildlife found or as a wildlife enhancement should not wildlife be present in debris piles during their removal.
