ABC Area Roads Officer: Responses Dated (31.03.23, 15.05.23, 24.05.23 
19.10.23, 31.10.23, 06.02.23 and 07.03.24 
Previous concerns of the Area Roads Engineer in respect of road safety (over the 8
houses directly taking access to Barr’s Road) and in respect of pedestrian safety at
the proposed pedestrian access/egress point to Barr’s Road have been addressed
by the redesign of the housing layout and the introduction of traffic calming at this
point in the revised layout. The submitted details are now considered by the Area
Roads Engineer to be in accordance with necessary technical and safety standards. 
The internal layouts are also considered to be in accordance with necessary
standards and the proposed Traffic Calming proposals for the A814 are also
considered acceptable and in accordance with necessary road safety standards. 
ABC Flood Risk Assessor (08.08.23 & 10.01.24) – Confirms that the information
provided is sufficient to meet planning condition 11 and 12 and that the flooding and
drainage proposals meet required technical standards. 
ABC Local Biodiversity Officer (30.03.23) has provided advice in relation to the
landscape proposals. It is considered that the contents of the design proposal and
associated Management Plan are acceptable. (Members are requested to note that
following the Barr’s Road frontage redesign additional landscaping and biodiversity

advice and clarification was sought from the Council’s Flooding advisor. He has
confirmed that the proposed flooding and drainage works are in accordance with
required design and capacity standards. 
In respect of Japanese Knotweed, an informative has been added clarifying the
legislative framework under which this matter should be addressed.

In respect of the comments on the core path on Darleith Road and other roads
matters in respect of Darleith Road, these matters do not form part of the application
which has been submitted and are therefore not considered material to the
determination of this application. 
Officers are content that the concerns expressed by the Community Council, in so
far as they are material to this application on drainage and flooding matters, have
been properly addressed by the applicant. The Council’s flooding advisor is content
that the proposals meet required technical standards and no grounds to refuse the
current submissions have been identified. In respect of the question of documents
being on the public website, all the relevant and material documents are on public
access. 
The stated concerns on transparency in respect of the Darleith Road access are
noted. At time of writing no alternative access arrangement for Darleith Road to that
approved by the Reporter has been agreed. All discussions on this matter are via a
Pre-Application submission (REF:22/01642/PREAPP).Such discussions are
currently confidential in accordance with the normal procedures of the Council. 
However, Officers are aware of the local concerns on this matter and will ensure that
the Community Council is notified of any submissions made to alter the existing,
approved access arrangements on Darleith Road under condition 04 of the
permission and will be given the opportunity to submit comments, which will be taken
into consideration in evaluating any alternative proposals. 
(D) HISTORY:   
23/00145/PP – Variation of Condition 2 relative to planning permission in principle reference
18/01444/PP (PP-130-2071) - amendment to wording of Condition 2 in relation to finished
floor levels. Application approved at Planning Committee on 25/05/23. 
18/01444/PP/ PPA-130-2071– Removal of Conditions 4 and 5 and variation of condition 7
of planning permission in principle 15/01794/PPP (Site for the erection of residential
development with associated access, infrastructure, open space, landscaping and
miscellaneous works) in relation to roads arrangements. 
(Members are requested to note that this application was subject to Non-Determination
Appeal to The Scottish Ministers (DPEA). Members advised that had they been so
empowered the application would have been refused at planning Committee. Permission
was subsequently granted by appeal on 15th July 2019 under reference: PPA-130-2071.  It
is the conditions associated with this appeal decision/grant of permission that are currently
subject to this application to discharge). 
15/01794/PP – Planning Permission in Principle for ‘Site for the erection of residential
development with associated access, infrastructure, open space, landscaping and
miscellaneous works. Granted subject to conditions 26/01/17. 
There is associated planning history linked to this site in respect of its inclusion within Local
Development Plans as a Housing allocation (Kirkton Farm). The site was included as a
Housing Allocation within LDP 2015 as Housing Allocation site H2002 and has been
included in LDP 2 as Housing Allocation Site H2002.  Therefore as well as historic planning
permission having been granted in principle for the development of the site in 2015 by the

Council, the site forms part of the housing land supply supported by the Local Development
Plan. 
(E) PUBLICITY:   
Regulation 20 Advert Major Application – Expiry date- 13th April 2023 
(F) REPRESENTATIONS:   
(i) Representations received from: 
At the time of writing this report 91 objections and 10 representations have been
received in relation to this application for AMSC.  A list of representees is attached
to Appendix B. 
Copies of the objections/representations are published in full on the planning
application file and are available to view via the Public Access section of the Council’s
website. Jackie Baillie MSP has forwarded concerns on behalf of a resident who has
contacted her but has not raised objection herself. 
Members are requested to note that many of the objections either wholly or in part, 
relate to matters associated with the Darleith Road access arrangements approved
under condition 04 of the appeal decision by the Reporter (REF: PP-130-2071).  For
clarity, the decision issued by the Reporter in allowing the development does not
require the submission of any further AMSC details in respect of condition 04 as the
access arrangements along Darleith Road have been approved. 
Members are requested to note that no matters related to the approved Darleith Road
access arrangements form part of this AMSC application, and therefore such
objections/concerns are not relevant to the current submissions before members. 
(ii) Summary of issues raised- the concerns and general comments raised are
summarised within the various themes below: 
Comments/Objections received in relation to Condition 4 and approved Darleith
Road Access arrangements 
• wholly impractical, on vehicular access grounds
• object on the grounds of public health and safety if the condition is not complied with 
• development includes third party land with the owner not willing to allow the works
to occur
• Formation of the three parking spaces on western side of Darleith Road would entail
major construction, environmental damage with huge tree loss and require further
upkeep paid for by the council. 
• Point 2 of the approved access requires third party land on the eastern side of
Darleith Road and previous correspondence from the applicant states “it is clear the
access to the site cannot be achieved in terms of the conditions attached to the
original consent.”

Template Reviewed Feb 2023 
• A single track road is inappropriate for a development of this size
• No segregation or places of safety for other non-motorised road users.
• Conflict between the Core Path Plan and this proposal using Darleith Road
• Application does not include any information on the Darleith Road improvements.
• The road is well used by walking, horse-riding and cyclists and the proposal would
increase safety impacts.
• Geometry of Darleith Road provides poor visibility
• Concern regarding the lack of a resolution between the potentially dangerous
access route between Mill Road and the west site entrance.
• Works to Darleith Road will undermine the road stability, leading to a potential road
collapse due to the flooding erosion to the west. 
• Darleith Road is used by timber lorries, farm traffic and traffic to the existing houses.
This proposal will worsen the safety. 
• Council have removed Condition 4 which was to ensure improvements would be
made to Darleith Road.
• The public should be allowed to pass comment on the remits of Condition 4.
• Darleith Road cannot be widened
• The painting of give-way markings is considered an inadequate traffic calming
measure.
• Darleith Road is unsuitable as the access to the development 
Impacts on the Core Path
• 120 new homes, with parking for 338 cars mean an increased volume of traffic using
Darleith Road which is a core path could cause adverse safety impacts on the public
exercising access rights.   
Comments on Road Safety
• Development would increase pressure on the road network of the village, in
particular Darleith Road, and Muirend Road (as the only other exit onto the Min road)
• Darleith Road is unsuitable for any more traffic.
• The development traffic in addition to school traffic would make the area congested
and noisy
• Unacceptable that Darleith Road includes no footway provision
• Concern for road safety due to construction traffic
• Barr’s Road has parked cars and the increase in traffic is a safety concern
• Proposal is contrary to LDP road policies due to a lack of a separate public footpath
provision
• Barr’s road and Darleith road are unsuitable for the increase in vehicular traffic
• Query as to why the site plan shows a “future link provision” from the internal vehicle
route near to Barr’s Road and the private track. 
• Queries regarding the traffic survey collected and the methods used.
• No suitable access to the development 
Officer Comment: The AMSC submission before the Council is to discharge conditions 
2,3,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,15, 16 and 17 of consent 18/01444/PP (DPEA REF: PP-130-2071) 
and do not relate to condition 04. Therefore objections/concerns related to condition 04
matters (Darleith Road Access arrangements) are not relevant to the matters which form
part of this AMSC application and are therefore not material to its consideration, 
That the applicant wishes to discharge the conditions relating to primarily onsite layout,
landscaping and the access arrangements for Barr’s Road, as is required by the permission
is a matter of planning process.

Template Reviewed Feb 2023 
Road safety concerns which are not connected to condition 04 and which relate the internal
layout of the scheme and works proposed at Barr’s Road, and general roads safety
associated with the construction of the development are addressed in the commentary
associated with the relevant layout conditions within the Report. 
Comments on Flooding and Drainage
• Concern that the additional single SUDS is not enough capacity to deal with the
surface water arising from the development.
• Concern regarding surface water arising from the proposal being offset to the lower
part of the village causing adverse impacts
• Proposal would exacerbate existing drainage infrastructure problems within the
area.
• Concern that the proposal would exacerbate flooding issues in the area
• Queries relating to the flooding statements included within the supporting
documentation.
• Climate change must be considered.
• Query regarding whether the existing network between the site and the public waste
water treatment works have the capacity to accommodate the development waste.  
Officer Comment: The application is supported by the necessary technical information on
such matters. The Council’s flooding and drainage advisor is content that the submitted
details submitted comply with necessary technical standards. 
Comments on Waste
• Query regarding the positioning of the refuse collection point location and whether
the van would drive up the Private Drive to access it. 
Officer Comment: A layout plan showing bin store and collection locations has been
provided and Roads and amenity services raise no concerns over this. 
Comments on Biodiversity
• Geilston Gardens is a haven for wildlife- has the impact of the development taken
account of the ecosystem?
• The applicant should be made aware of Japanese knotweed close to the drainage
channels in the southeast corner of the site. 
Officer Comment: The Council’s Biodiversity advisor raises no objection to the proposals
and is content that the biodiversity requirements have been properly addressed. Officers
are content that the scheme is compliant with biodiversity objectives and the Council’s
Biodiversity Action Plan and that no adverse impacts upon Geilston Gardens will occur. An
informative in respect of Japanese Knotweed is proposed as this is controlled under other
legislation. 
Comments on Archaeology
• Note that the recent archaeology survey report recommended further assessment.
• This is an area of archaeological significance and the remains of a later prehistoric
enclosed settlement have been discovered, which would be destroyed by the
development. 
Officer Comment: WOSAS have confirmed that they are content with the condition
discharge submissions. 
Comments on Construction

Page 7

Template Reviewed Feb 2023 
• Construction will cause noise pollution affecting the residents of the area.
• Concern regarding construction traffic impact access to adjacent properties 
Officer Comment: It is unavoidable that some noise and disturbance will be caused to some
residents during construction. This is an unavoidable consequence of building new
development near to existing houses and is not a matter which would warrant the refusals
of the current AMSC submission on what is an allocated housing site. The transient nature
of any disturbance is considered to be vastly outweighed by the benefits of providing new
housing, both market and affordable given the Housing Emergency. 
Comments on School and Infrastructure
• How will the school cope with the additional pupils/ School is at capacity
• Car parking within village and railway will need to be increased. 
• Scale of development is too big for the site and location. 
Officer Comment: This is a long standing housing allocation site where planning permission
has already been granted. The development is of an appropriate scale and density for the
site and meets all council standards within LDP 2015. Indeed, the number of units proposed,
at 120, is below the nominal allocation number of 158 units and planning permission has
already been granted for the development of the site. 
Comment on the substation
• Concern regarding the proximity of the proposed substation to the residential
dwellings outwith the site and the impact on health and amenity. 
Officer Comment: This is not considered to be a matter of any substantive planning weight.
Safety associated with the operation of substations is not a matter for the Planning Authority
but for the relevant power company and power licensing organisations. 
Comments on Procedure
• Neighbour notifications should have been sent to more than 14 residencies.
• Request for a public meeting.
• Why is condition 4 not subject to public scrutiny 
Officer Comment: The Council has no powers to alter the decision notice or change the
removal of condition 04 from the requirement for an AMSC submission as the Reporter
has determined such a further formal submission is not required. The Council has acted
in accordance with Planning Procedures, and in compliance with the terms of the appeal
decision. The Council must follow proper procedures and cannot depart from this to
favour one party or another.

NOTE TO APPLICANT 
• This permission should be read in conjunction with the terms and conditions of the
Planning Permission in Principle to which it relates (PPA-130-2071) and permission
23/00145/PP in which permission variation in the height of floor levels was approved as
part of a Section 42 application. Officers advise that there will be a requirement to
implement and approved development under a single approved permission. 
• This permission will last for two years from the date of this decision unless the
development has been started within that period. In the event that the requisite approval
of different matters relating to the Planning Permission in Principle are sought and
approved at a later date, then the time period for expiry of this permission would then
run concurrently with that of any subsequent decision. [See section 59 of the Town and
Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (As Amended).] 
• In order to comply with Section 27B(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act
1997 it is the responsibility of the developer to submit the attached ‘Notice of Completion’
to the Planning Authority specifying the date upon which the development was
completed. 
• Japanese Knotweed has been reported on or near this site. It is a highly invasive weed
that is capable of structural damage. Disturbance will cause it to spread and its
movement is controlled by non planning legislation. Under the Wildlife and Countryside
Act 1981 it is illegal to cause it to spread in the wild. You are therefore advised to survey
the site for the presence of Japanese Knotweed at an early stage and before any site
clearance work and, if found, to formulate plans to control or eradicated it within the
terms of related regulation... A link to good practice and Legislative controls is set out in

APPENDIX A – RELATIVE TO APPLICATION NUMBER: 23/00144/AMSC 
Assessment of Condition Submissions 
The current AMSC application seeks to discharge conditions: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15,
16, and 17. 
Below each condition which requires to be discharge is listed and a short Officer evaluation of
the submissions is provided, together with a recommendation on whether Officers recommend
that the condition should be discharged. 
2. Condition No. 2 
2.1. Condition No.2 states: 
2.1.1. “Pursuant to Condition 1 – no development shall commence in respect of any individual
plot until plans and particulars of the site layout, design and external finishes of the
development have been submitted to and approved by the Planning Authority. These
details shall incorporate proposed finished ground floor levels relative to an identifiable
fixed datum location outwith the application site. These levels shall be at least 0.3 metres
to 0.6 metres above finished ground levels. Thereafter the development shall be
implemented in accordance with the duly approved details which shall have regard to
special needs access requirements established by policies SG LDDP TRAN 3 and SG
LDP HOUS 2.” 
2.1.2. Reason: To ensure that the development has a layout and design which is compatible
with its surroundings and in accordance with Local Development Plan policy.  
2.2. Siting:  The layout has been altered from the indicative layout presented at the outline
stage due to the topography of the site. The amended layout comprising 120 houses is
below the indicative number of units within the site allocation within LDP 2 where 158
units are allocated. It is considered by Officers that this less dense layout is more
sympathetic to the transitional nature of the site from the urban edge of Cardross to the
more rural environs of its locality to the North West and East. An alteration to the initial
layout on the eastern edge of the site was requested by Officers as the site fronts Barr’s
Road. 
2.3. The previous line of 8 properties facing Barr’s Road on the eastern edge of the site road
(as set out in the original layout submitted) were considered to represent a potential road
safety risk by the Area Roads Engineer. In addition, Planning Officers considered that the
design presented a hard and unsympathetic suburban edge to the site which would
appear discordant and out of context. The amended layout has both softened this edge
and allowed for more comprehensive landscaping to be accommodated along this eastern
edge, whilst also addressing road safety concerns. The amended layout is therefore
considered to be an improvement in terms of placemaking objectives and also road safety
matters. 
2.4. Necessary formal and informal open space and plot ratio standards have been met by the
revised layout. In respect  of adhering to placemaking objectives, Officers would comment
as follows: 
• Development should (3.1) ‘respect existing landforms and development patterns,
and the amenity of other dwellings. Southerly aspect and shelter should be

Page 18

Template Reviewed Feb 2023 
maximised. Clues can often be gained from old houses as to the best orientation
for a new building, relative to shelter and aspect.’ 
Officers consider that the layout proposed respects the characteristics of the site and
facilitated an acceptable integration of the development into its locality. The development
will not adversely impact the amenity of any adjoining residential dwellings and will in
officers’ opinion represent a high quality and acceptable development within its local
context. 
.
• Location: new housing must reflect or recreate the traditional building pattern or
built form and be sympathetic to the setting landmarks, historical features or views
of the local landscape. 
The local area has a variation of development styles and densities of development. The
proposals is considered to represent an attractive and appropriate density and layout. The
proposals will not adversely impact on any historic features or views of sensitive
landscape. It should also be acknowledged that this is an identified housing site and the
density of the proposed scheme is below that allocated in the LPD providing a more
spacious and landscaped scheme to assist integration at this transition from town to
countryside. 
• Access: should be designed to maximise vehicular and pedestrian safety and not
compromise the amenity of neighbouring properties. In rural areas, isolated
sections of urban-style roads, pavements and lighting are best avoided. 
The proposals are directly connected to existing development to the south and proposed
new development to the west. The dwellings along Barr’s Rd will take access from an
existing low traffic road which provides through access to residential and farm users. The
proposals include improvements to Barr’s Road, with traffic calming measures, improved
road surfacing, and provision of pedestrian footways connecting the development into the
wider development to the west. The Area Roads Engineer is content that the revised
proposals represent a safe and technically compliant layout for pedestrians and road
users.  
• Layout: must reflect local character/patterns and be compatible with neighbouring
uses. Ideally the house should have a southerly aspect to maximise energy
efficiency. There are no neighbouring uses that are incompatible with the proposed
pattern of residential development. No defined local character has been found and the
proposals is considered to represent an acceptable density and layout for the site and its
environs. All houses will be constructed to modern energy efficiency standards as
required by the Building Regulations. 
• Design: The scale, shape and proportion of the development should respect or
complement the adjacent buildings and the plot density and size. Colour, materials
and detailing are crucial elements to pick up from surrounding properties to
integrate a development within its context. The proposals are consistent with housing
types, colour, materials, plot densities and sizes found in the immediate area which has
no defined or dominant characteristics. The direct connectivity between existing
residential development and the proposals will ensure excellent integration with the
surround context and reflected the allocated site within the LDP having good access to
facilities and integration with the existing settlement. 
• Proposed external material finish: Three colours of render are proposed. The render
is wet dash render coloured Stratherm Carilse (a reddish render), Stratherm Kenal (an
oatmeal colour) and Stratherm Torbay (a cream colour). Cast iron effect ogee gutters;

Page 19

Template Reviewed Feb 2023 
Cupa slate roofs, Oak external doors, two pane uPVC Windows, Keinton square dressed
stone for front bay detailing are proposed. It is proposed that there be solid mullions
between the two vertical windows. The details provided will in Officers opinion provide
attractive external finishes for the homes and are therefore acceptable. 
• Levels:    The requirements of condition 02 in respect of the indicated levels within this
condition are confirmed by submission to have been met. Acceptable levels details were
submitted which meet the minimum height standards and accord with DDA and therefore
this element of the development is considered acceptable. 
2.5. The proposed details submitted in respect of Condition 2 are considered to be acceptable
and this condition has been satisfied. 
3. Condition No.3 
3.1. Condition No.3 states: 
3.1.1. “Pursuant to Condition 1 no development shall commence until a scheme for
the provision of affordable housing that is in accordance with the provisions of the
Council’s Development Plan Policy and Supplementary Guidance on Affordable
Housing has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority.
The scheme shall include:
a) Provide that a minimum of 25% of the approved dwellings are affordable
homes;
b) Define those dwelling that are to be used as affordable homes;
c) Established the timing of the provision of the affordable homes relative to
the phasing of the development, which shall ensure that works on the last
25% of those approved dwellings that are not affordable homes are not
commenced until the affordable homes have been completed for occupation;
d) Establish the arrangements to ensure the affordability of the affordable
homes for both initial and subsequent occupiers.
The development shall be implemented and occupied thereafter in accordance
with the duly approved scheme for affordable housing. 
Reason: To accord with the provisions of the development plan in respect of affordable
housing provision.   
3.2. The details provided indicate that of the 120 houses proposed 30 of these will comprise
affordable housing units. This is in accordance with the requirements of the condition and
council policy. In respect of the phasing of the construction of the units and compliance
with the requirements of the condition. It has been clarified in the Planning Statement
Submission Dated January  ( Paragraphs 4.11 – 4.13) submissions that; 
..work will not commence on the 75th Private unit until the 30no. Affordable Housing units
have been completed for occupation.. 
Dunbritton Housing Association is the allocated Registered Social Landlord (RSL) for the
site and they have confirmed that the proposed affordable provision satisfies their
requirements, and that the programme of delivery as illustrated on Build Route and
Development Phasing Plan 00289 PL-03 is acceptable. This is further detailed in the
accompanying Scheme for Affordable Housing letter from Dunbritton Housing
Association. It is therefore considered that the criteria of condition 3 are satisfied. 
Officers are content that this ties the phasing and affordable housing provision
commitments together in an appropriate manner.

3.3. . This condition is considered to be satisfied. 
4. Condition No.6 
4.1. Condition No.6 states: 
4.1.1. “Pursuant to Condition 1- no development shall be commenced until the
following plans and particulars have been submitted to and approved by the
Planning Authority in consultation with the Road Network Manager. Thereafter the
schemes shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Such details
shall incorporate:
i) On the A814 Main Road, Cardross, a scheme to enhance the gateway features in
both directions at the entrances into Cardross village to be fully implemented in
accordance with these details prior to occupation of the first dwelling house.
ii) On the A814 Main Road, Cardross, within the village envelope a scheme to
enhance traffic calming to be fully implemented in accordance with these details
prior to occupation of the first dwelling house. 
4.1.2. Reason: In the interests of road safety. 
4.2. The details in pursuant to this condition have been submitted and are considered by the
Area Roads Engineer to be acceptable.  
4.3. Therefore the requirements of Condition 06 are considered to have been satisfied 
5. Condition No.7 
5.1. Condition No.7 states: 
“ Pursuant to Condition 1 – no development shall commence until full details of the
internal road layout within the development have been submitted to and approved
in writing by the Planning Authority. The development layout shall ensure that no
more than 20 dwelling houses will be served from the east access i.e. via Barr’s
Road. All other vehicular traffic will be required to access the development site from
Darleith Road. The internal roads shall be constructed in accordance with the
principles of Designing Streets.” 
5.1.1. Reason: In the interests of road safety and good placemaking. 
5.2. Members will note that the Area Roads Engineer was not content with the original Barr’s
Road frontage layout in the originally submitted layout from a road safety stance. Through
discussions both the housing layout and traffic calming have been altered to accord with
the requirements of the Area Roads Engineer. The revised layout has six houses being
served from Barr’s Road and enhanced traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures
at the footpath access and egress as this will be the main pedestrian route in and out of
the site to school, shops and the train station/main bus routes. 
5.3. The proposals are therefore considered to be in accordance with this condition.

Reason: In order to secure prevision of communal open space and equipped play
areas within the development in accordance with the minimum standards set out
in the Development Plan. 
11.2. The submitted site plan identifies three dedicated communal open space areas and one
equipped play area, located centrally within the development. The locations of the
communal areas and play area benefit from passive surveillance by fronting properties
and provides a total of 2,140sqm of communal open space and 730sqm of equipped play
space which exceed policy requirements. Officers were however of the opinion that the
original play equipment proposed did not reflect the more natural equipment currently
being used which promotes play to a wider range of children and allows older children
more play opportunities. The applicant has amended the submitted play area details to
accord with these views. This is considered by officers to now reflect modern design
objectives and is considered to be acceptable. 
11.3. The submitted Landscape Maintenance Information establishes the provision for the on-
going retention and maintenance of communal open spaces and equipped play areas in
accordance with the provisions of BS5696 including details of on-going inspection,
recording and procedures for dealing with defects. The applicant has advised that this will
be undertaken through a Factor or Management Agent appointed by the developer prior
to completion of the development in accordance with normal practice for such
developments. Taking account of the above, it is considered that condition no. 15 can be
discharged 
12. Condition No.16   
12.1. Condition No.16 states:

been submitted and the Area Roads Engineer has advised that these are acceptable.
There for the condition can be discharged. 
13. Condition No.17 
13.1. Condition No.17 states: 
“Pursuant to Condition 1 – no development shall commence until a Site Waste
Management Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning
Authority. The provisions of this plan shall be adhered to during the construction period
unless any subsequent variation thereof is agreed in writing by the Planning Authority. 
Reason: In order to ensure the minimisation of waste generated during construction in
accordance with Policy SG LDP SERV 5 (b). 
13.2. A Site Waste Management Plan has been submitted in pursuant to Condition No.17
which aims to: minimise the creation of waste, appropriately manage any waste created
