No excavated material shall be removed from the site and no fill materials may be brought onto the site other than as set out in the method statement. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt - the works proposed are engineering works to alter the existing landform but do not seek approval to remove material from/import material to the site and so any impacts which may result from that (e.g. highways/traffic) have not been assessed. - 3. The works hereby approved shall not be undertaken other than in accordance with the method statement, which forms part of the approved plans. Reason: In the interests of clarity and to ensure the development takes place in accordance with the approved details. - 4. Prior to the commencement of the works hereby approved, details of any proposed planting/seeding shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department and the development shall not take place other than in accordance with the approved details. Reason: the application does not provide details of any proposed planting/seeding and given the site designation it is important that any that does take place is appropriate. - 5. There shall be no provision on the site of moveable structures, works, plant or machinery required temporarily in connection with the development hereby approved unless details (including timescale for removal) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department and they are provided in accordance with those approved details.
