  "text": "(1) No part of the authorised development within the area of a local planning authority is to commence until a written scheme to deal with the contamination of any land, including groundwater within the Order limits which is likely to cause significant harm to persons or pollution of controlled waters or the environment has been submitted to, and approved by, the local planning authority in consultation with the Environment Agency and, to the extent that the plan relates to the intertidal area, the MMO.\n(2) The scheme must include an investigation and assessment report, prepared by a specialist consultant approved by the local planning authority, to identify the extent of any contamination and the remedial measures to be taken for that stage to render the land fit for its intended purpose, together with a management plan which sets out long-term measures with respect to any contaminants remaining on the site.\n(3) No remedial work constituting a material operation in respect of contamination of any land, including groundwater within the Order limits is to be carried out until the scheme has been approved.\n(4) In carrying out the works for the authorised development, the undertaker must not conduct horizontal directional drilling operations unless the scheme includes a hydrogeological risk assessment demonstrating that such operations are unlikely to cause an unacceptable risk to groundwater quality.\n(5) Remediation must be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme.",
