Proposal
Variation of Condition Nos. 2, 4 & 6 of DC/23/2349/FUL - Two double skinned fuel tanks will be installed on the existing site for the offloading and loading of fuels. These tanks will be installed on new reinforced concrete slabs. An electrical GRP pre-fabricated unit will be installed for the electrical connections. A catchment area around the two tanks will be surrounded by drainage channels to capture any spills and runoff from the loading of trucks. These channels will lead to sumps which will be connected to a full class 1 interceptor. Existing underground tanks to be foam filled. - Condition 02 - change to allow for minor site layout amendments: -Installation of an additional six-hose dispenser and associated small island linked to Tank 1, including leak-detected underground pipework, to improve traffic flow and reduce standing vehicles. - Replacement of the full concrete yard within the Certas boundary with Hardicrete. - Minor layout adjustments, including relocation of lighting columns and slight positional refinements to suit the revised arrangement. - Increase width of site entrance. Condition 04 and Condition 06 - Change wording: As per discussion with planning officer and environment agency consultation (Letter ref. DC/23/4835/DRC) due to nature of required information for referenced conditions, it was advised that the correct procedure would be the submission of a variation of condition application (to allow of submittal of required information during construction / prior site occupation) where any subsequent conditions can also be amended to reflect the required action/works being undertaken in order to effectively discharge this condition.
