28.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
29.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- Air Quality- Construction (if receptors are nearby) 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. Asbestos: The developer is reminded that prior to any refurbishment commencing on site the building/s to be refurbished are required to be surveyed for the presence of asbestos containing materials in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Any asbestos containing materials which are identified shall be managed or removed in accordance with the above regulations and waste regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in prosecution by the relevant authority. The uncontrolled refurbishment of buildings could result in the contamination of soils on site and in the vicinity of the demolition. This could cause the investigation of the site under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which may result in the determining of the site as Contaminated Land. For further help and advice in respect of asbestos removal the applicant/agent is advised to contact the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) (www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos). 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.
