Proposal

To Vary Condition Number 8 of Application Reference Number: Date of Decision: 06/03/2024 Condition 8 relates to the delivery of the submitted Flood Risk Assessment and the mitigation measures set out therein. The Applicant is seeking to vary the wording of this condition to reflect the use of 5l/s run-off rates for the site on the drainage scheme. Accordingly, the condition wording is proposed to be varied as follows (changes shown in highlighted): Condition 8 The development permitted by this planning permission shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment and the following mitigation measures detailed within the FRA: - Infiltration testing in line with BRE365. If infiltration is found to be unviable, the run-off rates from the Site should be limited to 1 5L/s. - Provide attenuation storage (including locations on a layout plan) for all storm events up to and including the 1:100 year storm event inclusive of climate change.

Site constraints 3

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm.
Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Predicted from the national soil map. The older provisional map agrees.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
