Yes, looking at the applicant's submission for the discharge of condition 9 (construction management plan) I note that document doesn't actually making any specific reference (as such documents often do) to measures relating to dust prevention etc.I also note that the discharge application was submitted to the Council back in September 2019 - I say this because government guidance to local authorities is to determine such applications within 21 days, but that probably happens about 0.01% of the time. Indeed, LBH, who I normally cite as one of the better planning authorities I deal with, took over a year to discharge conditions on a major developments within the Borough, and whilst certainly delays client side did contribute to that delay, the fact that the LPA's Drainage Officer worked 1 day a week also didn't help.This is a good example of how overly bureaucratic the planning system can be - strictly speaking nothing should be happening at 1 Commerce Road until all pre-commencement conditions are discharged, but given those details were submitted in September 2019 if the Council tried to enforce and ended up in court there's case law to say that it's perfectly reasonable for a developer to start work if the LPA hasn't dealt with the information submitted in an efficient manner.So this development has started, technically in breach of condition despite the best endeavours of the developer, and a local resident is suffering dust nuisance because an omission within the Construction Management Plan hasn't been picked up/addressed almost 3 months after submission.A classic example of the failings of the current planning system...
