No development shall take place until the Local Planning Authority has given its written approval that it is satisfied that no potential risk from contamination has been identified.

(24)          If a potential risk from contamination is identified as a result of the work carried out under condition 23, prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted, a comprehensive intrusive investigation in order to characterise the type, nature and extent of contamination present, the risks to receptors and to inform the remediation strategy proposals shall be documented as a report undertaken by a competent person and in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's ‘Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11’ and submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
