34.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner. It is confirmed that the shadow HRA submitted by the applicant has been assessed as being suitable for the Borough Council as competent authority to use as the HRA record for the determination of the planning application, in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. In this instance the Borough Council has considered there is no likely significant effect on protected habitats arising solely from the development itself; and the development would contribute to the overall in-combination significant adverse effect identified by the Habitats Regulations Assessment Report for the Local Plan Core Strategy, but this effect can be adequately mitigated by the Habitats Monitoring and Mitigation Strategy; and that Strategy requires a payment of £185.93 per each additional dwelling towards the monitoring and mitigation provided through that Strategy, and the appropriate payment has been made.
35.INFORMATIVE: This development involves work to the public highway that can only be carried out by Norfolk County Council as Highway Authority unless otherwise agreed in writing. It is an OFFENCE to carry out any works within the Public Highway, which includes a Public Right of Way, without the permission of the Highway Authority. Please note that it is the applicants' responsibility to ensure that, in addition to planning permission, any necessary consents or approvals under the Highways Act 1980 and the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 are also obtained from the County Council. Advice on this matter can be obtained from the County Council's County Council's Highway Development Management Group, tel: 0344 800 8020 or email: developer.services@norfolk.gov.uk. If required, street furniture will need to be repositioned at the Applicant's own expense. Public Utility apparatus may be affected by this proposal. Contact the appropriate utility service to reach agreement on any necessary alterations, which have to be carried out at the expense of the developer.
36.INFORMATIVE: The applicant and developer are reminded that it is an offence to allow materials to be carried from the site and deposited on or damage the highway from uncleaned wheels or badly loaded vehicles. The Highway Authority will seek, wherever possible, to recover any expenses incurred in clearing, cleaning or repairing highway surfaces and prosecutes persistent offenders. (Highways Act 1980 Sections 131, 148, 149.)
37.INFORMATIVE: This proposal involves excavations adjacent to the public highway. It is an OFFENCE to carry out any works that may affect the Public Highway, which includes a Public Right of Way, without the permission of the Highway Authority. Please note that it is the Applicants' responsibility to ensure that, in addition to planning permission, any necessary consents or approvals under the Highways Act 1980 and the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 are also obtained from the County Council. Please contact the Area Co-ordinator East on 0344 800 8020.
38.INFORMATIVE: It is the Applicant's responsibility to clarify the boundary with the public highway. Private structures such as fences, or walls will not be permitted on highway land. The highway boundary may not match the applicant's title plan. For further details please contact the highway research team at highway.boundaries@norfolk.gov.uk.
39.INFORMATIVE: The imposition of the above condition 15 does not in any way infer that Norfolk County Council, as Local Highway Authority, will support a formal application for a Stopping Up Order to remove highway rights. In addition, statutory undertakers have a right to object to the granting of a Stopping Order, which may prevent this development from progressing in its current format.
40.INFORMATIVE: Essex and Suffolk Water have previously provided the attached Water Regulations Information Sheet No. IS-0014 relating top development at this site, and have identified assets in the site for which they are responsible. The developer is advised to have regard to their advice attached to this permission.
41.INFORMATIVE NOTES: NEIGHBOURLY CONSTRUCTION Construction Noise - 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. Disclaimer re contamination - 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. 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) on 0845 345 0055 (www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos) Air Quality - 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.
42.INFORMATIVE NOTES: PROTECTED SPECIES Protected Species - The applicant should note that under the terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is an offence to disturb nesting birds, bats their roosts and other protected species. You should note that work hereby granted consent does not override the statutory protection afforded to these species and you are advised to seek expert advice if you suspect that nesting birds, bats and other species will be disturbed. Bat Mitigation - As mitigation for bats may be necessary it would likely include providing roosting space in the roof of the building; in which case the applicant must use a black non-fibrous, non-shiny breathable roofing membrane. This is based on current evidence that bats can be killed by being caught in the fibres of breathable roofing membranes.
43.It is hereby acknowledged that the application has been accompanied by the appropriate and necessary financial contributions for GIRAMS Habitat Impacts Mitigation amounting to £929.65 (comprising £770 received 29/10/20 and £229.65 received 21/10/22), and for off-site public open space provision and enhancement amounting to £7,824.25 (received 24/10/22).
