If unacceptable risks to receptors are identified a detailed remediation strategy will be required in writing for agreement with the Planning Authority to address those risks. Reason: Protection of environmental receptors to ensure the site is suitable for use. Condition 27 states: No development shall commence at this site until a Detailed Remediation Strategy to address all unacceptable risks to receptors has been submitted in writing and agreed with the Planning Authority.
