  "heading": "Contamination risk",
  "text": "(1) None of the authorised development is to commence on any specifically identified localised areas of land within the Order limits potentially affected by contamination as identified within the desk study contained within chapter 6 of the environmental statement until further investigations and a risk based land contamination assessment (geo-environmental interpretative report) has been undertaken in line with the recommendations made within the desk study for that localised area of the Order limits and this has been submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority. The risk based land contamination assessment must be carried out in accordance with the Environment Agency’s Land Contamination: Risk Management manual (“the LCRM”).\n(2) Should any unacceptable risks be identified in the risk based land contamination assessment, a remediation strategy scheme also detailing a proposed verification works plan must be prepared and submitted to and agreed in writing by the relevant planning authority. The remedial scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the LCRM. The verification plan must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of—\n(a) Evidence Report on the Verification of Remediation of Land Contamination Report SC030114/R1, published by the Environment Agency 2010; and\n(b) the LCRM.\n(3) If, during the course of construction, previously unidentified contamination is discovered, construction must cease on that localised area of land within the Order limits and the contamination must be reported in writing to the relevant planning authority within 10 working days. Prior to the recommencement of construction on that localised area of land within the Order limits, suitable investigation and risk based land contamination assessment for the discovered contamination (to include any required amendments to the remedial scheme and verification plan) must be submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority. The authorised development must then be implemented in accordance with the details approved by the relevant planning authority and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the relevant planning authority, retained as such in perpetuity.",
