Informatives:
Statement of positive and proactive working in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
The proposal has been assessed with regard to adopted development plan policies, the National Planning Policy Framework and all other material considerations. The NPPF encourages a positive and proactive approach to decision taking, delivery of sustainable development, achievement of high-quality development and working proactively to secure developments that improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area. While the applicant did not take advantage of the service, the Council provides a pre-application advice service prior to the submission of any application. The opportunity to discuss a proposal prior to making an application allows potential issues to be raised and addressed pro-actively at an early stage, potentially allowing the Council to make a favourable determination for a greater proportion of applications than if no such service was available.
2. Environmental Health at the District Councils should be contacted in the event of unexpected ground conditions / contamination being encountered during construction. The developer should be aware that the responsibility for the safe development of the site lies with them at all times.
