7. The drainage shall be maintained in accordance with the details approved by the Council's decision letter of September 3rd 2013.

An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of condition 9 of 98418, and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of condition 10 of 98418, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors in accordance with Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy for the New Forest District outside the National Park.
