Thereafter, on the occupation of each dwelling, the approved Travel Information Pack shall be provided to new residents. 23. The presence of any previously unexpected contamination that becomes evident during the development of the site shall be reported to the Planning Authority in writing within one week, and work on the site shall cease. At this stage, if requested by the Planning Authority, an appropriate investigation and risk assessment shall be undertaken and a remediation scheme shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Authority prior to the recommencement of site works. The approved details shall be implemented as approved.

24. If there is a requirement to either re-use site won material or to import material then the assessment criteria and sampling frequency that would adequately demonstrate its suitability for use shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Authority prior to any material being re-used or imported. In addition to this and in accordance with BS3882:2015 and BS8601:2013, material to be used in the top 300mm shall also be free from metals, plastic, wood, glass, tarmac, paper and odours. 25. On completion of the works and at a time and or phasing agreed by the Planning Authority, the developer shall submit a validation report containing details of the source of the material and associated test results to demonstrate its suitability for use. 26. No development shall take place on site until such time as a noise impact assessment in respect of the proposed air source heat pumps has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. This noise impact assessment shall include an assessment of the potential for the proposed heat pumps to cause noise nuisance affecting both the new houses hereby permitted together with existing adjacent properties. Where potential noise disturbance is identified, proposals for the attenuation of that noise shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. Any such approved noise attenuation scheme shall be implemented prior to the development being brought into use and shall thereafter be retained in accordance with the approved scheme. Should the approved noise attenuation scheme impose restrictions upon the way in which operations on the site are carried out, the site shall be operated in this manner unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning Authority. The noise impact assessment and any recommendations in respect of attenuation measures shall be prepared by a suitably qualified person. 27. Prior to the site being occupied the applicant shall have a third party independent verifier submit a verification report to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority. Compliance with the relevant condition shall be evidenced in the report. This shall demonstrate that the projections as detailed within Noise Impact Assessment are reliable and meet with Noise Impact Assessment condition. 28. No development shall commence on site until such time as a noise control method statement for the construction period has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. This statement shall identify likely sources of noise (including specific noisy operations and items of plant/machinery), the anticipated duration of any particularly noisy phases of the construction works, and details of the proposed means of limiting the impact of these noise-sensitive properties. The construction works shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved method statement unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning Authority. 29. During the period of construction, all works and ancillary operations which are audible at the site boundary (or at such other place(s) as may first be agreed in writing with the Planning Authority), shall be carried out between the

following hours unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning Authority: • Mondays to Fridays: 0800 – 1800 • Saturdays: 0800 – 1300 • Sundays and public holidays: No Working 30. No commercial vehicle making deliveries to or collecting material from the development during construction shall enter or leave the site before 0800 or after 1800. 31. No piling works shall be carried out until a method statement has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. This statement shall include an assessment of the impact of the piling on surrounding properties, taking into account the guidance contained in BS 6472: 1984 ‘Evaluation of Human Response to Vibration in Buildings’. It shall detail any procedures which are proposed to minimise the impact of noise and vibration on the occupants of surrounding properties. This statement shall be prepared by a suitably qualified person, and the piling works shall thereafter be carried out in accordance with the approved method statement. 32. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning Authority, no development shall commence on site until such time as a scheme for the control and mitigation of dust has been submitted to and approved in writing by this Authority. The scheme shall identify likely sources of dust arising from the development or its construction, and shall identify measures to prevent or limit the occurrence and impact of such dust. The approved scheme shall thereafter be implemented fully prior to any of the identified dust generating activities commencing on site and shall be maintained thereafter, unless otherwise approved by this Authority. 33. No development shall commence on site until details for the storage and the collection of waste arising from the development has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. The agreed details shall be in place prior the occupation of the first housing unit/property within the site and thereafter maintained for the lifetime of the development.

APPENDIX 5 DC23/070/FUL– Change of use from cafe to tyre change garage at 6 Old Street, Duntocher, Clydebank G81 6DE by Mr Peter Ferrier. REFUSE planning permission subject to the following conditions:- 1. The proposal would result in the siting of a Class 5 (General Industrial) use – tyre changing garage within an existing residential area. No supporting information has been submitted in terms of what other sites have been considered and why the proposal could not be accommodated within an existing business and industrial area as defined by the adopted Local Plan and proposed Local Development Plan 2. Accordingly the proposal is not supported by Policy 26(d) (i) of NPF4 together with Policy LE 3 of the adopted West Dunbartonshire Local Plan. 2. The proposal would not result in significant overall economic benefit to the local area and therefore the proposal is not supported by Policy LE3 of the adopted Local Plan. 3. The proposal is incompatible with established residential amenity due to the potential for noise disturbance to occur to the detriment of adjacent residential properties. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies, 9, 23(e) and 26(d)(ii) of NPF4, Policies GD1, H5 and LE3 of the adopted Local Plan and policies CP1 and H4 of the proposed Local Development Plan 2.
