The current submission of the Phasing Plan is anticipated to the first of a number of submissions, as the document will evolve as the subsequent parts of the development site comes forward. The submissions will be considered at the appropriate time when received by Redcar and

Cleveland Borough Council.

The first submission of the Phasing Plan, currently being considered as part of this submission, seeks to support the delivery of the first occupants of the site, GE Renewable Energy. In order to provide a suitable development platform for GE land preparation works including ground remediation and levelling followed by the Reserved Matters submission for the buildings and associated development. The phases set out in the document relating to GE are set out at para 3.2 of the Briefing Note.

Consideration has also been given within the Briefing Note of the relevant conditions relating to technical matters that are triggered either as pre-commencement or in accordance with the approved phasing plan. The relevant conditions are set out in para 4.1 of the Briefing Note.

Due to the nature and location of the works included within this phase, it is only condition 16 that it relevant. A separate submission will be made to satisfy the requirements of condition 16 and once agreed that would allow for the works in this phase to be delivered.

No other conditions will be discharged at Phase 1a.

The conditions relating to Phases 1a and 1b are considered appropriate.

The submitted Phasing Plan is considered at this time appropriate to partially discharge the condition.
